Starting with the fact that a tinted sunscreen will help you speed up your skin-care and beauty routines since it essentially combines two steps into one. So, if you’re the person who constantly forgets to apply SPF, you can rest assured that your skin will be protected and enhanced as the same time that its tone is being evened out and prepped for makeup application.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the best tinted sunscreens for darker complexions. Whether you’re looking for something lightweight, prefer a matte finish, or like a formula that’s buildable.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation — $48.00
This tinted serum provides a light, dewy coverage that will have you looking like you got a full night’s rest and follow a 10-step skin-care routine religiously. It features squalane to improve your skin’s elasticity, hyaluronic acid to plump and increase moisture, and niacinamide to reduce the appearance of pores, smooth your texture, and even out your complexion. This formula will appear lighter as you apply it to show you where you’ve placed the SPF, but it will dry to the true tone in 30 to 60 seconds.
Unsun Cosmetics Mineral Tinted Face Sunscreen — $29.00
This best-seller is a primer and color corrector in one. It’s formulated to provide coverage for a range of skin tones, and the brand promises it won’t leave behind any ghostly residue. You can wear it alone on days when you prefer lighter coverage, or you can use it as a primer beneath your go-to foundation.
