First, per the directions, you’re supposed to shake the bottle and hold it about 8 to 10 inches away before applying an even layer to the face. I found it was easy to spray a generous amount on the skin. It was also gentle and left a nice soft finish on my skin. I’ve used sunscreens and setting sprays in the past where they felt heavy and thick, but this mist is a nice contrast. It dried quickly but never felt sticky or greasy.
Now, let’s talk about the glow. The clear bottle showcases a formula that is very shimmery, but I was surprised to see it wasn’t overwhelmingly glittery. Infused with ethically-sourced mica, my skin—more specifically my cheekbones—looked radiant. It reminded me of the glass skin trend that was popular in 2024 and recently had a resurgence (even inspiring another dewy look ‘pool skin’ this year). The glow lasted a few hours even before I added a second spray of the mist to hydrate my skin. I’m just happy I didn’t look like I dipped myself in glitter and gave more a natural glow with or without makeup.
Glow aside, it kept my makeup in place. As mentioned, it leaves a soft finish, so I didn’t experience any piling, caking or melting. Since it’s made with hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid, reapplying it didn’t feel heavy on the skin. It was nice prepping, refreshing *and* resetting without irritating my face. It’s recommended to reapply every two hours or 40 minutes after swimming or sweating, which honestly keeps me accountable to reapplying sunscreen even while wearing makeup.
The mist sunscreen also has a scent. I was expecting that traditional strong sunscreen smell and got a citrusy fragrance instead. It’s not overwhelming and fades away after a few minutes. It’s very refreshing—a far cry from the slab of sunscreen my mom used to put on me as a child.
