Tips on Finding Your Halo Glow Skin Tint Shade

Here’s some recommendations on how to find your Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 shade match: 


If you’re a 00 in our best-selling Halo Glow Liquid Filterthen you’ll be in the fair shade category for Halo Glow Skin Tint. 


If you sit in the 0.5 to 3.5 range for Halo Glow Liquid Filter, you’ll be a light shade for Halo Glow Skin Tint.


Shade 4 in Halo Glow Liquid Filter is considered medium for Halo Glow Skin Tint, and shades 5-6.5 in Halo Glow Liquid Filter take the tan shades for our Halo Glow Skin Tint.

How to Apply our Halo Glow Skin Tint

Ready to get that lit-from-within glow? Our tinted SPF and Halo Glow Angled Silicone Sponge are your dream team for flawless, dewy skin and easy makeup application. Start by giving your skin a little prep:


First, start by applying your favorite gel moisturizer to clean skin, followed by a matte face primer to help grip makeup for long-lasting wear.


Next, shake up your skin tint to activate all that skin-loving magic. Now, grab your makeup spongeβ€”it’s specifically designed with a slanted edge for seamless blending and to work with the serum-like texture of our lightweight skin tint, giving you a consistent, skin-like finish every time.

Don't forget to dampen your beauty spongeοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½this helps it absorb less product and blend more evenly.


Then, pump a small amount of the skin tint onto the back of your hand (or directly onto the cosmetic sponge if you're feeling bold). Use the rounded base of the sponge to bounce and press the skin tint onto your skin, starting at the center of your face and working outward.


Need more coverage? Flip to the angled edge. It’s perfect for getting into those harder-to-reach spotsβ€”think around the nose, under the eyes, and along the jawline.

How to Add This Skin Tint with SPF Into Your Halo Glow Makeup Routine:

That effortless and dewy no-makeup makeup look all starts with dialing in your Halo Glow Collection makeup routine. Here's how:

  •  Begin by applying a mattifying primer to help create a smooth, grippy base that will hold your glow in place (yes, even throughout the heat, humidity, and long days).
  •  Next, tap on Halo Glow Liquid Filter β€”this is your glow booster. It helps add radiance where you want it most and layers beautifully under everything else.

Step one and two for applying halo glow liquid filter and halo glow skin tint with spf
  • Now for the star: our tinted SPF. Apply our skin tint with a makeup sponge for that weightless, skin-enhancing coverage with a natural dewy finish and SPF protection (you multitask, your makeup should too).


  •  To lock it all in and dial down any shine just a touch, finish with the Halo Glow Powder Filter. Use our Halo Glow Powder Puff to press the powder over your T-zone or anywhere you want a soft-focus, airbrushed lookβ€”without losing that radiant finish.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Skin Tint with Mineral SPF?

This lightweight skin tint is your ultimate 2-in-1: a skin-enhancing tint that meets sun protection. We love that it streamlines makeup routines without cutting corners; it’s safe for sensitive skin and effective while still giving that coveted dewy glow. 


At the heart of it all? Mineral SPF 50, powered by non-nano zinc oxide. Unlike traditional sunscreens, this type of SPF blends in like skincareβ€”no white cast and no greasy residue. Just smooth, natural-looking coverage that feels like nothing and looks like everything.

And yes, non-nano zinc oxide is doing the real work underneath the glow. It can help shield against both UVA (hello, premature aging) and UVB rays when applied correctly, helping to keep your skin protected. 


So, whether you’re going bare-faced or building a bold makeup lookβ€”this skin tint with SPF has you (and your skin) covered. For optimal sun protection, we recommend finishing off your makeup look with our setting spray with SPF and re-applying every 2 hours.


Speaking of sunscreen... we have officially earned our first Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation! What exactly does this mean? It means that our skin tint is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as a safe and effective makeup product that helps shield skin against the sun.

How is a Skin Tint Different from Other Foundations?

With multiple different face makeup options, let’s break down the difference to help you find the type of foundation coverage that’s right for you:


  •  Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50: isn’t your average baseβ€”we formulated it to live in its own lane. Compared to our foundations, it’s the lightest, dewiest, and most skincare-forward option yet. Think: sheer, skin-enhancing coverage and mineral SPF 50. Your go-to for when you’re not really feeling like makeup but still want the tiniest bit of coverage and sun protection. 

Difference between skin tint, foundation, and cc cream
  • Soft Glam Satin Foundation : steps things up with medium, buildable coverage and a satin, more perfected finishβ€”ideal for days you want to dial up the glam without going all-out bold. 


  •  Then there’s our Camo Hydrating CC Cream, which offers full coverage, SPF 30, and a semi-matte finish. It’s your all-in-one if you want coverage and correction. It’s far creamier and thicker than a skin tint, but still feels lightweight on the skin and offers some SPF protection. 

How Is the Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 Different from Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30?

Let’s clear up any chance of glow confusion. Our hydrating skin tint and Suntouchable Whoa Glow may seem similar, but they’re totally different when it comes to what they do.


Our Halo Glow Skin Tint is first and foremost a tint. It gives your skin sheer, buildable coverage that helps even out the appearance of your skin tone, boosts hydration, and leaves a dewy, skin-like finishβ€”all while delivering mineral SPF 50 protection. It’s your base and your sun care in one effortless step.

On the other hand, Suntouchable Whoa Glow is a sunscreen with benefits. It’s a lightweight SPF 30 that adds a subtle pearly sheenβ€”think glowy primer or pre-makeup baseβ€”but it doesn’t offer coverage.


So, if you're looking to protect and perfect? Skin tint's your pick. If you're after glow and UV defense under makeup? That’s a Whoa Glow moment. Different jobs, same glowing goals!
