Sephora fans flock to buy ‘lightweight’ SPF that’s ‘perfect for no makeup days’

The SPF has been proven as safe for sensitive skin and is non-acnegenic while also providing a deep holiday glow everyday

Sephora shoppers are flocking to buy an SPF that’s perfect for ‘no makeup makeup days’. Kosas’s Sunlit DreamBeam Smoothing Makeup Base SPF30 comes in two sizes: 15ml and 40ml.

The mineral sunscreen smooths and moisturises skin while providing a makeup base. Sunlit has a soft golden hue that gives a warm vacation glow, it’s water-resistant, non-acnegenic and even safe for sensitive skin.

In a consumer study across 33 men and women who used DreamBeam for 28 days, 100% agreed that the product felt lightweight and didn’t look greasy or clog pores. They also all said that skin looked smoother, brighter, and more radiant.

Tinted SPF products are a popular summertime option to keep skin safe while also looking good. Supergoop has a huge range of shades in their Protec(tint) SPF50 Daily Skin Tint (£36) which makes it more accessible for those with deeper skin tones. Drunk Elephant also has their Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense SPF30 (£32) which some shoppers have swapped out their foundation for.

It’s brought in an average rating of 4.4 out of five on Sephora. One shopper wrote: “I’m not one for leaving reviews but I will for this. I’m someone who suffers with large pores and oily skin especially in my t-zone. When I use this product my pores shrink to barely anything, my skin tone is evened out and gives me a nice glow that doesn’t look oily. it pairs well with all my other products I use, I can say it will be a repurchase for here on out.”

One shopper suggested the tint might be too dark for fair skin, writing: “Really happy with this, be warned the the tint is quite dark so not for fair skin! Really love the glow it gives! Bronzed holiday look.”

Another was thrilled with both the coverage and the sun protection in the product, writing: “I really like this SPF. I have rosacea do my skin is sensitive and needs a slight coverage to cover some redness and pimples, however for everyday wear i do not like wearing heavy foundations therefore the dream beam is perfect for me, it offers me SPF which having rosacea is a must for me fairly while also providing a nice natural tint of coverage.

“The product doesn’t irritate my skin or cause any breakouts. The texture is so smooth and it gives a dewy look to it. Not sure how it would be for oily skin people as the finish for me is very dewy but I like this glow it provides so its fine for me. I recently went on holiday to Greece and wore this every day, didn’t burn in the sun and also gave me a perfect holiday glow at the same time.”

While another added: “This is gorgeous. Lightweight easy to blend with a slight glow. Perfect for no makeup makeup days.”

Jada Jones on our team has tried this SPF and said: “I love this way more than I expected to. I was recently packing my makeup bag for a cross country trip and before packing my foundation I tried on this SPF. I’ve never put the foundation down faster.

“My skin was glowing and smoothed out, I didn’t even use concealer. I paired it with lip stain and lip gloss and felt done up for the day. I got multiple compliments and felt great, this is definitely one I’ll be reaching for time and time again.”

Kosas DreamBeam Smoothing Makeup Base SPF30 in Sunlit is available for £37 for a 40ml bottle. There is also a mini 15ml bottle available for £17.
