Unless you’ve been living under some umbrella your whole life, you’ve probably heard once or twice that we should all be wearing SPF every single day, whether we plan to go in the sun or not.  Right?  We’ve all heard this, yes?  Because I’m pretty sure that I’ve been told a thousand times, and (confession) I still don’t always wear sunscreen.  In the summer months, my skin tends to be more oil-prone than other times, and most sunscreen formulas that I’ve tried only make that situation worse.  Flashbacks to teenage skin, anyone?  No thanks.

So recently I tried out a couple of products from Colorescience’s line of mineral makeup and skincare.  The Eye Brightener gave the prettiest, illuminated glow under my eyes and the Skin Brightening Face Primer gave my skin an even, smooth base for applying makeup, but the real standout to me was the Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush.  It’s SO good for those of us who tend to slip up on that whole sunscreen everyday thing.  (Hands up if you’re with me!)  It goes on as the most lightweight mineral powder, and I love that it’s SPF 50.  It’s water resistant up to 80 minutes, and it couldn’t be easier to throw in your purse or beach bag for on-the-go applications.  (You can easily reapply over makeup throughout the day.)  It’s great for normal to oily and even acne-prone skin, and I can’t recommend this one more.  You know those older women with the crazy good skin who say their secret all those years was always wearing sunscreen?  Well, that could be you, girl.
