In the progression photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the Sun Milk, after applying the Sun Milk, and then the Sun Milk under makeup. It is a mineral sunscreen (and untinted), so when it comes to a white cast, YMMV — some reviewers noticed one, but many didn’t!
Promising review: “I’m on my second bottle of this sunscreen, and I’m so happy I found it! I can’t imagine going back to anything else. I have normal/oily skin and always found myself super shiny in an hour, no matter what sunscreen I tried. It was a minor inconvenience — I always had blotting paper on hand. But with the Missha, I don’t have to worry about shine… like, at all. Seriously, folks. It’s amazing. This stuff is magic. It’s like I’ve got the best, most soft-focus primer on, but it somehow protects me from the sun, too. The matte effect is, indeed, a soft finish; it’s enough to keep me from looking shiny but not so matte I look like I’m covered in powder. As far as consistency, it’s very milky and absorbs into the skin incredibly quickly. As other reviewers have noted, it’s so thin and runny that I have to pat on two layers, but even then, it soaks in 100 times faster than any facial sunscreen I’ve ever tried. There is a slight white cast (I’m olive-skinned), but I find it fades within 5-10 minutes. But well before that, the sunscreen has absorbed to a soft, matte finish that’s perfect for some lip and cheek stain. All in all, just about perfect. I don’t even wear BB cream anymore — just this and a bit of color on the cheeks and lips, and I’m done. It’s a great base for makeup and I’m happy to find my cheek color lasts all day (even after a busy shift in food service).” —Tyrannosaurus Rose
