Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
Filtered by: Star Rating: 4 stars Clear Filters
Nice product, problematic brush
I really like Colorescience Sunforgettable and used it for about 10 years, stopping ~2010 because of difficulty getting the brush to work properly putting out enough powder. It required repeated retractions of the brush, upside down tapping, and fanning the brush again when re-opened in order to use much of the time. Some brushes were excellent, some very far from it. So after a long period of time using EltaMD facial sunblock instead I thought I'd give Sunforgettable another try. Sadly, I'm finding the same problems with the brush which existed previously. I'll use it up but unless things change as more powder gets used up within the tube I won't purchase again. It's a shame they haven't worked on what most people experience as the primary problem with delivery.

Easy to use
It’s easy to carry and use outside. But it’s hard to see whether you applied it or not. Not sure whether it really can protect you from the sun.

Blending Finish
This non-cakey powder has a smooth overall finishing look, to soften and blend makeup. Top it off - added spf is a bonus. You need to care for and clean brush well to get the most of the product…it is definitely worth it.

Good color
I had to return first one as powder wouldn’t come out. The second one seems to be working well. And the coverage seems good. Would recommend.

Messier application than before
I love to keep this in my purse to touch myself up and my kids during the day, but this applicator has been much more unpredictable. It will send out big poofs of powder in different places. Anyone else having this issue?

Powder sunscreen
I like the idea of a powder with sunscreen. I still put lotion with sunscreen on my face before hand, so I’m not sure how well the powder is really working. I had a heck of a time getting the powder to release for the first time use. I watched the video and tapping the container on the table a few times is an understatement. I had to bang this thing on the table to the point where my table dented, at least 50 times before the powder would release. I still like this product because it takes the shine away from my face while I’m in the sun.

Surprisingly nice
A new medication has made me very sun sensitive. I am always looking for good coverage without disrupting my sensitive skin. Though it takes awhile to get used to the application. I was never sure if the product was coming out. Once I learned how to apply it, I noticed that it protected my face better than the other products I tried. The more I used it the better I liked it. It is light on your skin and doesn't feel heavy.

Nice Compact Option
I like this compact, easy to use sunscreen that I can pop in my bag for the day. It applies easily and has a nice, light coverage without looking like too much. More convenient than a cream sunscreen when you are on the go and need to reapply.

Very handy
I love the sheer powder and the medium shade looks great on my skin. It is easy to reapply or apply over a liquid sunblock for extra protection. I do not feel like it applies evenly so therefore I am not sure I trust it alone. I really like to apply to my forearms when driving because the hot sun beats down on my arms. (California)

Good
I had a little bit of a learning curve getting the powder out but I like it for when i need to reapply sunscreen because I don't like to put liquid sunscreen over makeup. I haven't used it in a beach setting yet which is why I only gave it 5 starts as I can't say how it does when I'm in the sun for hours.

Handy product
This was the only place I could locate the fair shade. It’s handy to have and easy to apply. I can use it on top of a liquid sunscreen. There’s no such thing as too much - this doesn’t get heavy or cakey.

Watch the video first!
At first I thought my product was broken, then I watched the video. You have to tap it on a surface to get the product to come out. The color was a perfect match. I also got the foundation to go with it, as well as the eye cream. The eye cream is my absolute favorite. I choose this brand over the many other options because this company uses very safe ingredients. Will purchase again.

Good overall
Does the job for applying sunscreen over makeup, but sometimes doesn’t come out evenly and you end up with spots of product in certain areas.

Convenient on the go
The product works well, and the color blends nicely. Good to have on the go for sunscreen reapplication. It's subtle, which I like. A dusting of sunscreen rather than a heavy make-up type powder. It's a little hard to get the powder going on the brush -- I like the convenience of the combo brush and product, but it takes a little patience. Overall, definitely recommend for sun protection.

Great protection and coverage
I like this powder as an actual makeup foundation and the fact that it’s an spf 50 and water resistant makes it incredible!

Happy customer
I just want to say that this product met my expectations. I got the color in tan. I have fair skin and light brown hair and it just gives me color, protection, and subtle overall coverage. The tan is perfect for someone that wants a natural slight color to their face. I can even skip blush. I do put just a bit of blush over it sometimes. Great product. I would’ve given it five stars but you kind of have to work at getting the product flowing every time you use it. That has been my experience.

Great product
This sunscreen looks great over my Colorescience Bronzing Perfector, really makes my skin so smooth, plus the SPF 50 is the reason I purchased this. My only complaint is the brush. I wish this came as a compact and separate brush as I seem to waste more product just trying to get it to come olut of the brush.
