All the details

Read the description

Text supplied by the brand: Colorescience.

Colorescience Brush-On Shield Glow is an SPF 50 mineral powder sunscreen in a take-anywhere brush that protects skin while giving it a subtle glow. The brand’s EnviroScreen® technology provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and defends skin against blue light, pollution and infrared. Its antioxidant-rich mineral powder contains hyaluronic acid, which hydrates for supple skin.

Pearlescent pigments leave a silky finish and a soft champagne light that builds with each pass. Worn alone all over the face, the powder protects and illuminates; dabbed on the high points, it becomes a highlighter over another Total Protection® sunscreen applied everywhere.

On bare skin, over moisturizer or on top of makeup, the brush slips into your bag for touch-ups throughout the day. Water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes, the formula is oil-free, dye-free and vegan.

Collaboration: Lisanne Daoust, owner of Concept Dermo Esthétique

Key ingredients

Key ingredients and what they do, as described by Colorescience.

  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide

    the all-mineral filters behind the broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

  • Pearlescent pigments

    a subtle, luminous, lit-from-within glow.

  • Iron oxides

    micronized cosmetic pigments that also help protect skin from blue light.

  • Hyaluronic acid powder

    a humectant that helps restore and reinforce skin’s moisture.

  • Antioxidant blend

    defence against pollution and free radical formation.

  • InfraGuard

    tara tannins and organic sunflower sprouts that help protect skin against the ageing effects of infrared.

Directions

Directions from Colorescience

  1. First use: remove the cap, pull back the sleeve, remove and discard the rubber band, then put the cap back on.
  2. Activate: with the cap on and facing down, tap the brush 3 to 5 times on a hard surface, firmly. Run a finger through the bristles: a small puff of powder should appear; if not, repeat.
  3. Before exposure, apply generously in small circular motions to dry bare skin, moisturized skin or over makeup for at least 60 seconds, making several passes; don’t forget your ears and neck.
  4. For a highlighting effect only, first apply another Total Protection® product all over the face, then Glow on the high points.
  5. Reload the bristles by shaking the brush with the bristles facing down, or tap again. Over moisturizer, primer or liquid foundation, wait until they have fully set.
  6. Reapply at least every two hours.

Precautions: for children under 6 months, ask a doctor.
