A lightweight mineral sunscreen with tinted color coverage immediately evens skin tone for a flawless look. This hydrating, antioxidant-rich all-mineral formula is powered by patented EnviroScreen® Technology - which means comprehensive defense against UVA/UVB, Blue Light, Pollution, and Infrared radiation, combined with advanced antioxidants and nourishing, hydrating ingredients for long-term skin health. FLEX features innovative, iron oxide pigments that bloom in your fingertips to deliver tone-adapting buildable color coverage with a demi-matte finish. Available in six uniquely flexible shades, each ideal for a broad range of skin tones and under tones. For all skin types.

  • Formula starts white and the color blooms as you blend, adapting to your skin color!
  • Add another layer for more coverage
  • You can mix & match with other sunscreens from the Face Shield family: use Glow as a highlighter and Bronze as a bronzer, or use different shades of the Flex to contour!
  • Activate. Develop. Set. Dispense onto fingertips and rub gently to release and activate encapsulated pigments. As the shade begins to develop from white to your shade, apply to moisturized face and continue to blend for even coverage. Watch as it adjusts to your skin to immediately blur imperfections and even skin tone. The shade is fully developed when product is no longer white. Allow 1-2 minutes for shade to adjust completely. Set with one of our Total Protection brush-on sunscreens or follow with foundation for full-color coverage.
  • Pro Tip: Layer underneath your foundation for fuller color coverage or use with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to enhance your look.  
  • One and Done: Evenly apply one layer to entire face, including under eyes for a look that's naturally you and powerfully protected.
  • The Foundation Replacer: Build your coverage to your ideal level of flawless perfection.  After applying your first layer, wait 1 minute before applying another layer.  
  • If you find yourself between two shades, feel free to mix and match any Face Shield products to create your ideal shade match. All Face Shields contain the same great all-mineral actives SPF 50 protection so you'll never have to compromise protection for color.

Nice and light and love that it color adjusts to my skin. I use this daily for a nice light glow and added SPF coverage. This will be great for travelling as the container size isn’t huge so it makes it easier to pack

This has replaced all tinted moisturizers/foundations I use. I am always looking for lightweight coverage and this is the perfect product. Having the SPF in it is wonderful as someone who has always worn SPF daily. It’s easy to reapply throughout the day while still looking fresh and doesn’t look too thick. It also blends perfectly and gives me a nice subtle glow. I will continue buying this product over and over and recommend it to everyone I know.

This is my go-to sunscreen when I need a bit of extra coverage! I appreciate that Colorscience expanded their shade range, as I previously had to mix 2 different shades. And Vanity Lab offers the entire shade range!

My tried and true spf product... it's the perfect base plus spf all in one. I always used to mix fair with medium to get the right color but after they created the light color, it was perfecto. The color is the perfect shade for asian skin tones. Also,the coverage is beautiful. Covers everything without being heavy.

My everyday sunscreen - this also serves as a make up primer for me. It helps my make up settle and gives me that glowy look and blends really well!

The best tinted moisturizer! It's easily blendable as seen in the video here. This is the medium shade, and it looks like real skin.

I've used Colorscience Fair for a couple of years now. Its the best tinted sunscreen I've tried (and I have tried many of them!). This doubles as a foundation and I'll wear it outside all day or to work.
The color starts out pretty white, but it adapts to my (pale) face quickly.

I have been using Colorscience religiously for well over 4 years now and i will continue to stay loyal to the brand because they are truly one of a kind! This is a part of my daily routine and likely will be forever as I always get compliments on my skin and I attribute this to Colorscience! I have very sensitive skin and often find physical sunscreens burn my face, particularly under my eyes, but Face Shield has NEVER bothered me. Colorscience Face Shield starts out white but as you massage it into your skin the unique technology of the product to adjust to your specific skin tone (if I want to look a little extra bronzed it also pairs well with bronzing drops). I classify it as a buildable medium coverage foundation-like SPF. For the girls who want to simplify their routine and want a bit of coverage look no further as this is the holy grail. Not only does it adjust to your unique skin tone, but it's mineral based (no yucky additives), has skin-loving ingredients AND it's SPF 50 (protect your investment)! Just make to use 2 finger lengths and reapply for maximum protection! If you are looking for a no-makeup feel, you will likely love Colorscience No-Show Mineral.

This is the best tinted sunscreen out there! I have used many bottles and I don’t need to use foundation on top as it color corrects really well.

Colorescience Flex in Medium is my daily driver. My skin is prone to pigmentation, so a good sunscreen is non-negotiable, and this one checks every box. I use it as my foundation and it stays put all day with great coverage and a really natural finish. Pro tip: buy your winter shade and summer shade, then mix them throughout the year for the perfect match.

Amazing coverage and the color blends beautifully, leaving a natural glow to the skin. I wear this year round for sun protection and to even out my skin tone. By far my favorite tinted sunscreen! No orange undertones, just a beautiful natural coverage.

The best sunscreen ever made ! This replaces makeup for me : it evens my skin tone and leaves me a glow No foundation needed. I’ve tested it with the pavise UV camera and it has great coverage.

I use shade FAIR mixed with a tiny drop of the colorescience BRONZE to make me look a bit less pale (since my skin rarely sees the sun, intentionally).

This is, by far the best SPF I've ever used. Not only do I no longer have to wear foundation (it provides a tinted bronze colour), it doesn't make my face greasy at all. I highly recommend!!!

I LOVE this sunscreen. The way it melts into my skin and matches my skin tone. Why would I ever go back to wearing makeup when I can wear this and make sure my skin is protected from sun damage too!
