"This actually offers quite a bit of coverage, I would say light to medium coverage, so great for those wanting to have some coverage that has good SPF protection. My favorite way of using this is just reapplication because it comes with a sponge that you don't need to touch your face. The [...] only thing I have to say about the tinted is I just wish it came in more shades."

"These compacts from Avène are underrated. They perform like a foundation in terms of how they look and the coverage, and they've actually been used in a clinical study showing improvement of hyperpigmentation, both from the sun protection and because they have iron oxides which can protect against the blue light that drives hyperpigmentation. I wish it came in more shades, honey and beige, and I wish there was some way for people to test these out like a swatch before investing because they are expensive. But they're like makeup, like a foundation, if you have discoloration you want to camouflage, not only does it camouflage it, it protects it. The formula is also moisturizing, it has almost a matte finish but it's not drying and it doesn't settle into creases."

"One of my favorites in terms of Avène's sunscreens is their tinted compact. If you're somebody who wears makeup, try that out, because the coverage it affords is pretty remarkable and it also offers really good sun protection. You can actually get it at Walgreens."

"I highly suggest the Avène Tinted Mineral Compact, especially if you like wearing makeup. This actually gives a really good cosmetic camouflage coverage, it stays in place well, it's easy to reapply, and it's easy to spread on the skin, so these compacts are great."
