Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
Not sure about this product
I was so excited to get this brush on SPF, but it’s super drying on my skin and blotchy, it’s difficult to see if any is coming out, but it was definitely blotchy on my skin. I used a lot of moisturizer prior to applying this, still places on my skin that felt very dry. Disappointed and wish I could’ve somehow tried it before ordering.

Just ok
I really want to love this, but not a fan of the color. I loved the 30 SPF in medium, but the 50 SPF in medium is too dark. And this is too light. Not sure how well it protects. I seem to have minor redness after being in the sun. I do love products by this brand though

Difficult to dispense powder
I really like the product. However, getting it to dispense equally for each use is difficult. It starts out working great and then becomes more difficult as time goes on. Even being half full, very hard to get out.

Okay
I purchased this in the past and thought I'd try once more. It makes for a nice matte finish. It is somewhat difficult to dispense. I thought they would fix this problem after a few years, but still no.

Convenient for reapplication
Good as an adjunct to your sunscreen of choice; easy on-the-go application.

Brush trouble
I was excited to get this brush but I’ve had trouble getting the brush completely out so it’s useable.

Won't buy again.
I love how light it is. No clumping like with other sunscreens. The only negative is that it is hard to tell if it is coming out. Sometimes I flick the bristles to make sure it’s still working but then too much comes out and it feels wasted!

Good but could live without
I always use a sunblock on my face and use this powder throughout the day as a touch up for my sun protection base. I don't really know if it's actually making a big difference or not. It smells fine, there's a lot of product, and the color is good. I think it's way overpriced for what it is. Also, I don't like the delivery method. It seems convenient but doesn't spread evenly. Plus the cap always falls off in my purse. I might transfer it into an old container and use it with a powder puff instead. For the price and minimal coverage, I probably wont repurchase it.

The Product barely comes out.
The product itself is good but the product barely comes out, in between the bristles.

Color is too light
Years ago I used this product in a color called Barely There. I'm very fair, and you couldn't see it on my face so I liked it a lot. Now I bought it again but the color names have changed, so I selected "Medium," thinking it might be slightly darker than Barely There. In the picture Medium looks to be about the same color as my old product. However, turns out that Medium is much lighter than the old product-- to the point where it looks like I'm wearing white powder on my face. Sadly I have to return this, it looks bad.

Hard to say
I can’t get it to come out of the container so I don’t know if it will work or not.

Easy and practical
Gave it 3 stars because of the color not what expected. Going to try a darker color for a more natural finish. Other than that great product, ideal for retouching after makeup.

Surprised That I Don't Love it
This is an interesting product. It has so many 5 star reviews that I thought I "had" to try it as the perfect way to reapply sunscreen over makeup. However, it is difficult to use. I follow the directions but It's hard for me to tell if the powder is coming out of the brush. (I "flick" the brush to see if there is powder - it takes several tries of tapping the product firmly upside-down with the cap in place before I can see the product, barely there, coming from the brush.) Also, it smells just awful! Very chemical-like smell. I am disappointed with my purchase and that it cost quite a bit of money. I would NOT repurchase but look for a different brand to try next time.

Sunforgettable brush-on SPF-50
I cannot tell if any product is on the brush. While I did not expect coverage, I did expect a hint of color. My bad. Will not buy this product again.

Colorscience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush -On Shield SPF 50
I love the powder and it works well but the container it's in doesn't let the powder come out .

Could be better
I can see the powder is loading into the brush after tapping and flicking according to the Colorescience instructional video, but I wish this product provided more of a buildable coverage like some other powder mineral foundations. I'm not able to see much (if any) coverage on my face, so I keep applying layers with the hope it's providing the SPF listed. Continuing to use my facial moisturizer with SPF as insurance. After reading all the positive reviews, I was really looking forward to this product but doubt I will purchase again. Bummer.

sun block
I am not sure what I expected. Still use other block as the brush is too small for decent coverage.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush
Brush on sunscreen powder is an awesome concept, however, I had difficult time getting the brush to activate. Video instruction was helpful, but I was not able to get the powder to release into the brush initially. Finally, I was able to get the powder onto my face, so if you purchase this item, don’t give up.

Great Concept But Applicator Brush Needs Improvement
I've been using this Colorscience product for several years. I live in Arizona and was diagnosed with photo-dermatitis years ago. Can't be outside without sunscreen protection. This product seemed like the answer in terms of daily protection and convenience. Unfortunately, like other reviewers, I've found the brush gets clogged fairly early on, and even routinely cleaning it with the Colorscience brush cleaner, the product does not get well dispensed into the brush. I can tell that's the case because the level of powder in the container does not go down after weeks of use. Eventually, I empty the powder into another container and use a separate brush to apply. Not as convenient when on the go. I've looked for other powder sunscreens but haven't run across any that don't have some kind of application issue. LovelySkin, please communicate with Colorscience, so they know their customers have this application problem. Time to improve the dispenser brush! Otherwise, the product would have earned 5 stars from this user.
