Beauty of Joseon's viral tinted sunscreen has made it into the Love Island villa
Love Island is back on our screens for another season, and we've already spotted a viral tinted sunscreen in the beauty room A new season of Love Island brings a brand new beauty room, and we've spotted a few of our favourites in the villa. From e.l.f's iconic Halo Glow to NYX's Buttermelt Glaze Skin Tint, the girls are stocked up with all the beauty products they need for the next eight weeks. However, there was one product in particular that caught eye during Monday nights launch episode and that's the Beauty of Joseon's highly rated and viral Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF30 PA +++. Priced at a reasonably affordable £17, this lightweight tinted SPF has blown up on social thanks to its sheer, seamless coverage and 'glass skin' results. Available in 12 different shades, this 100% mineral sunscreen has been designed to be 'your skin, but better', and offer buildable coverage that protects your skin from the sun. Packed full of hydrating ingredients and shine control, this sunscreen is ideal for everyday wear and those who are looking for a low maintenance base, which is why it is the perfect product to head into the villa, especially with those spanish rays beaming down. Our head of fashion and beauty recently put this sunscreen to the test and praised it's serum-like texture and blurring effect. Zoe said: " When I first applied this, I was almost certain it wouldn't be for me. It's water-light, which is really lovely, but it's so sheer. For a girl like me who has a very shiny face anyway (read: oily), it made me feel like Edward Cullen from Twilight when he goes into the sunshine. However, once I let it settle in, it really grew on me. It genuinely feels weightless on my skin, and I love the shade choice available. I left this out for my 64-year-old mum to try, and she LOVES it. She says it makes her look so youthful. If you're looking for an anti-ageing tint, or you love the K-beauty 'glass skin' look, this will be for you." If you're looking for other tinted sunscreens to try this summer, you can read Zoe's review of three different ones here.

I tried 3 tinted SPFs promising foundation coverage– one covered my pigmentation
Our head of beauty goes barefaced to test new tinted SPFs from Supergoop!, Beauty of Joseon and Merit... I have a confession: I don't like applying suncream to my face. I feel guilty even typing it, being a beauty editor and all. Don't get me wrong, I completely appreciate the importance of wearing it every day, and I will do it, but I've just never found the whole applying and wearing experience pleasant. Even formulas promising to be non-sticky, fast-absorbing and ultra-lightweight feel claggy or greasy to me. I just feel cleaner when I'm not wearing the extra SPF layer on my skin. But this year, after turning 32, I've really started to notice a change in my skin. Patches of pigmentation on my cheeks have started to appear, and I don't have that youthful glow that I've taken for granted my whole life. So, in a bid to keep my skin looking as healthy as possible for as long as possible, I've made it my mission to take daily suncare more seriously – because, as we all know, diligent SPF usage can ward off signs of premature ageing. I may be a little late to the 'I love SPF party', but I have picked a good year to become a devotee. I've seen more and more launches from SPF brands promising tinted coverage to rival foundations, water-light textures to rival your usual day serum, and pore-diffusing formulas that mimic a good primer. In fact, three landed on our Mirror beauty desk the exact week I made it my mission to find my perfect product in Beauty of Joseon's Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen, Supergoop!'s Mattescreen or Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen. Spoiler: One of them has indeed turned out to be juuuust right... A note before we start: I will just say that all of these SPFs can give a nice tint, but they won't ever be a foundation, and vice versa. SPF tests are based on applying 2mg per square centimetre of skin, which is a lot more product than most people use for make-up. So, I'm trying to find a tinted SPF that comes as close to a foundation as possible while still being very much an SPF. Supergoop's Mattescreen Sunscreen SPF30 Shop it for £36.50 Pros: Genuinely mattifying without feeling chalky or tight Smooth, silicone-primer-like texture that grips make-up Helps foundation stay in place all day Mineral formula with zinc oxide, ideal for sensitive or reactive skin Light tint that blends well and reduces white cast Doesn't pill under other skincare or make-up Cons: £34 price tag is on the higher side One universal shade made to blend with a 'broad range of skin tones' – but darker skin tones report it can give a slight ashy cast Matte finish may not suit those who prefer a dewy look SPF30 is good, but not the highest available (worth noting, though, that the brand has many other SPF50s) Zoe says: "I absolutely love this SPF because it feels like a primer, cutting down my number one issue with many SPFs: how greasy they feel. It actually reminds me of the Smashbox silicone-based primer I used to wear when I went out for a big night out and wanted to make-up to really last. I will keep wearing this under a foundation, but I think it's easy to see from my before-and-after shot that it doesn't offer much in the way of coverage. However, with only one universal tint shade currently available, there's no way it could be so tinted that it suits only one skin tone. I do like how it mattifies my skin, and it really doesn't feel like an SPF to apply, so it's hard to fault it for anything other than it being a factor 30 instead of 50 and not covering blemishes or pigmentation." Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF30 Shop it for £17 Pros The texture is super lightweight and serum-like Has a soft, natural finish that's not too matte or too glowy Comes with a sheer tint that gives a nice blurring effect No fragrance Available in 12 flexible shades The price is pretty reasonable, especially for something you'd use every day Cons SPF30 is fine for everyday use, but might not cut it if you're out in strong sun for long Doesn't shout about its UVA protection, which could be a worry if you're prone to pigmentation (like me) It's not the longest-lasting, on account of it being very sheer Zoe says:" When I first applied this, I was almost certain it wouldn't be for me. It's water-light, which is really lovely, but it's so sheer. For a girl like me who has a very shiny face anyway (read: oily), it made me feel like Edward Cullen from Twilight when he goes into the sunshine. However, once I let it settle in, it really grew on me. It genuinely feels weightless on my skin, and I love the shade choice available. From my photos, I can also see how much it evened out my skin tone, despite not giving much coverage in a typical base sense. I left this out for my 64-year-old mum to try, and she LOVES it. She says it makes her look so youthful. If you're looking for an anti-ageing tint, or you love the K-beauty 'glass skin' look, this will be for you." Merit Beauty The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 Shop it for £34 Pros Feels lightweight on the skin, almost like you're not wearing anything Has a natural, satin finish– not too matte or too dewy Comes in 15 shades that are designed to adapt well to a variety of skin tones Uses 100% mineral zinc oxide for SPF 50 protection, and doesn't leave a white cast Made without silicones, oils, or fragrance, so it's a good shout for sensitive or acne-prone skin Sheer but buildable coverage that evens out tone without looking heavy or cakey Cons Can cling to dry patches if your skin isn't well prepped Some users have reported a bit of pilling when layered over certain moisturisers or serums At £34, it's definitely on the spendy side for a daily SPF Zoe says: "I teased earlier that I found my perfect SPF match, and this is the one I was referring to. I love it, and I never thought I'd say that about an SPF. I went a shade darker in the tint than I normally would in a foundation, and it gave me both the look of instant bronzing drops and a lightweight foundation. I felt like my skin looked healthier and smoother, and even my patches of pigmentation were covered. It's definitely lighter than a foundation, but it also meant I could skip a base layer. In fact, I tested layering it under my regular foundation, and I have to say it looks much better on its own. It's very quickly become my holiday, weekend and working from home go-to– and it's definitely worth the price."

'Amazon just dropped my go-to tinted SPF to its cheapest price on the high street'
With talks of another mini heatwave across parts of the UK and summer on the horizon, it's going to get a bit sunnier. That means an SPF is an absolute essential. Now, as a beauty writer, I know the importance of wearing sunscreen all year round, but we tend to think of it a lot more when the warmer season tends to roll around. One that I have recently adopted into my own skincare routine, much like the rest of TikTok, is the cult Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid Sheer Glow with SPF50 - and it's just been dropped to its cheapest price on Amazon. Usually retailing at £12.99, the online retailer has cut it to just £6.85, while rivals Boots and Superdrug still have it at full price. Considering I called it my new go-to for "a summer glow", Amazon's deal is worth bagging ahead of summer. Said to be so popular that it "sold one every minute" on the TikTok shop, this brightening fluid has become loved for its lightweight texture that has been designed to be "super blendable" for all skin tones and types. Using both vitamin C and a high sun protection of SPF50, it doesn't just keep you protected from harmful UV rays, but it can also work to reduce pigmentation and the appearance of dark spots caused by overexposure to the sun. Aside from offering high sun protection and a non-greasy formula, I loved the tinted glow that was created due to the mineral pigments that made it "look like I caught the sun in all the right ways." For anyone unsure on the 'one shade suits all skin tones', an alternative is the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF30 (50ml), which costs £15.30 at Boots and is available in a few different shades. Meanwhile, another option that offers a sheer tint is the Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Everyday Tinted Face Fluid (50ml) that is currently available to buy for £7.99 on Lookfantastic. However, it's not just me that has been singing the praises of the Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Fluid, as it has amassed a 4.4 rating and over 4,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers say that it is "the best thing ever" and gives a "subtle, dewy look."

A positive review read: "Bought for a holiday and it's the best thing ever! Goes on very smoothly and leaves an incredible glow. It has a very fine tint and I felt confident enough to go out and about with no makeup on plus it protected my face with it's factor 50!! I got another tube cos I think this stuff is it for me now!!" A second happy shopper added: "This should become a part of everyone's daily routine. Lightweight, but really does give you a slight glow. I apply after my vit c daily face cream, love the fact it has spf in it." Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots. Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation. Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume. Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang. The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy. One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!" A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!" Shop Boots' half-price deal on the Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette (50ml) here. While another devoted fan wrote: "I treated myself to this for holiday and OMG you need to try it — It feels like a moisturiser, dries instantly so was able to put makeup on pretty quick, it lasted all day in the sun no problem AND the glow made it look like I had foundation on. I've decided to make it part of my daily makeup kit." Anyone with a combination skin type may find it not suitable, as one such shopper said: "Unfortunately, it is not suitable for my skin type. I have a combination type and made more oily. It is a shame." Another happy shopper said: "This is really good if you love a subtle dewy look. Makes your skin look less dull. I will be buying more once I have ran out." here.

Merit Just Launched A Revolutionary New Product – Here's What We Really Think
Every so often, a new beauty category enters the fold to shake up the industry for good and, in turn, our everyday routines. Think: lip oils, liquid blush, heatless curlers, the list goes on. The latest innovation to cause a serious stir is tinted SPF. Now, we're not saying these are never-seen-before, factory-fresh phenomenas, we'd hazard a guess that you swiped your way through ample bottles of Olay's Total Effects 7in1 or No7's Dual Protection Tinted Moisturiser SPF15 in the noughties. But in 2025, the skincare and make-up hybrid is seeing a major resurgence thanks to clever, modern formulations and TikTok's insatiable appetite for a 'clean girl' aesthetic, which favours a glossy skin tint. In the last few months alone we've seen K-Beauty juggernaut Beauty of Joseon launch its Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen, £17, which Boots has declared the the cult beauty buy of spring 2025, likewise the Supergoop! Protec Daily SPF Tint SPF 50, £40, finally landed on our shores after making waves State-side. The newest, buzzy buy about to set the internet alight? Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50, £34. Merit's latest offering marks the second base product from the breakout beauty brand that has fast-become a celebrity and insider favourite thanks to its stripped-back, no-nonsense, ready-in-five approach. Everyone from Cameron Diaz and Issa Rae to Lily Collins and Brenda Song has made their way through its innovative and industry shifting line up, read: the cult classic Flush Balm and Great Skin Priming Moisturiser, but the brand's newest offering may just be its most impressive yet. Having amassed a waitlist of over 25,000 ahead of hitting shelves, The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 bears the hallmarks of a trailblazer. Here's why. Starting off strongly, the new offering is the first-to-market 100% mineral SPF to use advanced pigment dispersion technology. Simply put, that means the brand has cooked up a way to optimise the way zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which protect against both UVA and UVB rays, mesh within the formula to allow an even distribution of pigments across the 15 flexible shades available. The result? A uniform (hence the name), natural-looking, second skin finish that leaves you looking healthy and radiant. The big question though – how does a mineral sunscreen known for leaving behind a white cast fair when combined into a complexion product? According to Merit, apparently very well. The product performs across a wide range of skin tones, sans ashy, grey cast. Another point of consideration. Unlike most mineral sunscreens that often leave the skin coated in a thick, unctuous protective layer that takes effort to rub in, The Uniform Tinted Mineral is lightweight and serum-like thanks to a plant-derived emollient that lends it a silky, velvety finish, which is only bolstered by a plant-based mineral SPF booster that further supports an even pigment dispersion to help soften and blur. Following the popularity of its first complexion product The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick and Great Skin range, Merit continues its legacy for crafting game-changers with its first-ever SPF that blurs the lines between skincare and make-up. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Truth be told, I am absolutely obsessed with skin tints, tinted sunscreens, and any beauty buy with the word "tint" in it for that matter. While I've tried a lot in the last few months alone, Merit's new addition is as new-gen as tints get. The make-up hybrid formula has helped me to forgo foundation, in place of a more weightless, breathable base day-to-day, which I can always build up or apply concealer atop of when I need a bit more coverage. While it's a mineral sunscreen, it feels anything but thanks to its light, serum-y texture which sits comfortably and seamlessly on the skin. And, I'm proud to report it doesn't leave even a hint of a white cast on my medium skin tone.' Rachael Martin, beauty editor, says: 'I've tested my fair share of skin tints in the past few weeks – both Clarins and Jones Road have turned out to be favourites. But now there's yet another to add to my beauty bag. I first tested the Merit Tinted Mineral Sunscreen out on a particularly hot day two weeks ago. With the temperature clocking in at a decidedly balmy 28 degrees, I wasn't sure how it would fare, but it lasted incredibly well. I put this down to the fact that it's not a skin tint with SPF. Instead, it's an SPF with a skin tint – protecting is its MO, with any coverage acting as a bonus. While it can be applied straight after moisturising, I chose to put mine on top of my everyday SPF (currently La Roche UV Air) as I would with my normal base make-up. It applied beautifully and blended well using the warmth of my fingertips- no pilling in sight. The finish is sheer and subtle, but my skin appeared much more even in tone. There was glow there too – something my temperamental skin is currently lacking. I'm prone to pigmentation on sunny days, especially around my nose and upper lip, and this definitely helped to keep it at bay. While I wouldn't swap my usual SPF for this, I would use it in place of my everyday foundation. It's refreshing to know it's bolstering my skin with an extra layer of high protection. Merit does it again.' Renee Washington, Grazia's digital fashion and beauty writer, says: 'I've never been a fan of skin tints or tinted moisturisers - especially the ones with SPF. Something about them just freaks me out. I automatically picture ashy, grey undertones and patchy coverage. So when this one landed on my desk, I won't lie, I was terrified. This is not my usual spec. But then I saw it was from Merit, and I do love Merit. It has SPF 50, which is impressively high for a skin tint. The shade range is also interestingly done, with the darkest shade listed as number one. I went for shade eight, which has more of a red undertone (I'm yellow, for context), but it still worked surprisingly well. It does smell like sunscreen, but the formula itself is super smooth, hydrating, and leaves a natural skin finish. You're meant to reapply it, but honestly, I wouldn't - it's tinted, and once my makeup is done, I like to leave it be. Still, I'd reach for it again. It's the kind of product that's perfect for travel or quick summer days when you want light coverage and sun protection in one.' 1. Merit The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 What the brand says: 'A mineral sunscreen that provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and a sheer tint that blends in with a light-as-air finish. It's a sunscreen so perfect, you'll actually want to wear it every day.' What we know: Infused with advanced pigment dispersion technology to optimise the way zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mesh within the formula, the tinted sunscreen promises an even distribution of pigments across all 15 flexible shades available for a uniform, natural-looking, second skin finish that leaves you looking healthy and radiant. Lightweight and serum-like, a plant-derived emollient lends it a silky, velvety finish, which is bolstered by a plant-based mineral SPF booster that further supports an even pigment dispersion to soften and blur. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Truth be told, I am absolutely obsessed with skin tints, tinted sunscreens, and any beauty buy with the word "tint" in it for that matter.

'No yellow or orange tones which seem to be every foundation brand recently. 'Easy to blend and the perfect amount of glow - really natural.
