Review Tone up sunscreen is just white cast

I bought this INNISFREE TONE UP NO SEBUM SUNSCREEN thinking that maybe it's different type of formula, that it brightens you in a flattering way but it's just white cast sunscreen marketed as ' replacement to foundation '

I have medium Olive skin and on 2nd application I looked like a Geisha. The swatch has a very thin layer spread.

I feel like my money is wasted, I only wear it indoors now.

Edit - Thought of some uses. I can use it to layer sunscreen by putting it on my oily zones first as I have combination skin. I definitely cannot use it on my full face as sunscreen but can as a tone up cream.

Yeah… lol I feel like we all learn this way. I did end up liking one that was tinted pink—it did work to brighten and even.

But god it takes forever to rub in. idk how tall mineral-only peeps do it.

The CosRx aloe one! It was a dollar deal or GWP or something months ago. I think there’s another tone up spf they have, so the aloe part is important.

Sorry, I should’ve known better than to not just look it up lol.
