My Go-To Tinted SPF for a Week in the French Riviera

Estimated read time 3 min read

Tinted sunscreens have become must-haves in beauty routines all over the world, thanks to their unique benefits.

We all know applying a good sunscreen daily is key to preventing sun damage and aging effects on the skin. Yet, until recently, I felt a bit left out of the tinted sunscreen craze—mainly because I hadn’t discovered one that met my demands (I know, I can be picky!).

That all changed when I tried the Everyday Sunscreen from Jones Road Beauty. Not only did it work perfectly for my sensitive skin, but it also features a feather-light texture and subtle color-correcting pigments, giving me a flawless finish. Given all that, it turned into my must-have for a week at the beautiful Côte d’Azur, and I now incorporate it into my daily makeup routine too.

Why This Tinted SPF Became My Go-To Holiday Essential

To give you a bit of context, my skin is sensitive and combination, often prone to breakouts. This means I have high standards when picking a sunscreen, and my criteria expands when it comes to tinted options. Typically, I find that standard sunscreens can feel heavy and uncomfortable, and tinted ones usually make things worse. Plus, I’ve never found a tinted sunscreen that blends in neatly.

Enter the Jones Road Everyday Sunscreen—since I tried it, it’s shifted everything. I loved it so much I even added it to my list of top new beauty launches for July!

Even with my high standards for sunscreen, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Everyday Sunscreen integrated into my daily routine during my recent holiday in the South of France. Only a fingertip-sized amount is enough for my face, effortlessly blending without any streaks while avoiding that cakey or oily appearance—plus, it takes minimal effort to apply, which is a definite win!

One of my all-time biggest annoyances with sunscreens is when they crumble or pill beneath makeup. Thankfully, this formula completely avoids that issue, which is a major plus for me because it performs brilliantly solo and underneath other makeup.

With all these fantastic attributes, I could not leave it out of my streamlined holiday makeup bag (which, trust me, is a challenge as a beauty writer). To finish off my evening look, I used the Iconic London Contour Stick, Glow Recipe Dewy Flush, and my go-to Glossier Lash Slick Mascara for that perfect no-makeup vibe while traveling.

This tinted sunscreen was absolutely central to my holiday makeup routine, and I’ve got to say it’s reshaped my everyday makeup process at home as well.
