My Review
This is another big hit for me from Kopari, and I am not surprised because I absolutely love their SPF 50 Setting Mist. It keeps selling out here in the UK, but if you want to find out more about it, read: Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50 Review.
I love to use that one to top of my sun protection throughout the day, however, this product, the Kopari Bright As Day Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, is a great option to start with. This will be the last step in your skincare routine before applying makeup, and if you love a bit of glow, it could be the one for you!
The texture of this sunscreen is really lovely, and it feels like I’m applying a hydrating emulsion to my skin. It blends in really easily, feels super gentle, and doesn’t leave a sticky or tacky finish.
It gives the skin a soft touch of warmth, and a very subtly skin-perfecting glow which is really lovely for no makeup days. It also pairs really nicely with a light application of concealer for a really natural yet perfected look.
Foundation layers over it effortlessly and it gives a really nice lit from within glow, so will work well with any skin bases that you find too matte. Because it sets down really nicely, it makes a good primer for makeup.
It has a very soft shimmer in the formula that I think translates well on the skin. It gives radiance without looking glittery, and manages a smooth and soft matte yet luminous finish.
Also, it’s super easy to top up during the day because it blends in so effortlessly, and sinks in to leave a radiance without looking greasy. The one thing I’d say is that if you are very fair, it could potentially be a touch too warm, but it works really well on my light to medium skin tone.
This gets full marks from me and feels very similar to the new Ultra Violette Future Fluid (review here), although the Kopari has a more gel-serum texture whereas, the Ultra Violette is more runny and liquid. I like them both a lot!
