I only wear SPF when I am out in the sun.  Last year I tried the powder stick from Bare Minerals.  Still leaves white tint to skin.  But  I do prefer the mineral SPF.

I am out and about most days, and wear SPF every day. But during the Spring & Summer I also reapply often depending upon my activities and exposure. I have the BM SPF powder in my handbag for midday reapplication for my face, neck and hands.

Thank you @sens  And also a good reminder to "shake it" before use. That is also the case for the Trader Joe's SPF and probably most others.

 

Price of the new CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen $17

This is great -it is advised that sunscreen should be applied every 2 hours. In addition to BM spf powder - Colorescience also makes Forgettable  Total  protection  brush on shield spf 50 -comes in a few shades ,easy to apply and gives a smooth finish

Brush-on type SPF powders are not made to be primary ss products. Brush-on SPF is good for touch-ups, on top of regular liquid ss and can be applied on top of foundation.

Yes, this is how I use the BM powder SPF, just for touch ups
