Your Tinted Mineral Dayscreen Shade Match, Simplified
Shopping online or swatching IRL? Here’s how to meet your match.
Finding your tinted SPF shade should be fun. Somehow, though, standing in front of 15 shades can turn into a full identity crisis. Light-medium? Medium? Warm? Neutral? Even for daily makeup wearers, it can get confusing. We’re here to make things a little easier.
Tinted Mineral Dayscreen SPF 30 comes in 15 flexible shades designed to blend seamlessly across a wide range of skin tones. And because this isn’t a full-coverage foundation, finding your match doesn’t have to come down to one absolutely crucial drop of pigment. Instead, buildable light-to-medium coverage lets your skin still look like your skin.
Still, finding the right shade matters. If you’re shopping online from your couch or literally standing in front of the testers right now wondering how to find your shade, we’ve got a few tricks to help you find your Tinted Mineral Dayscreen match.
What’s the difference between shade matching for skin tone vs. undertone?
First, a quick beauty lesson. Your skin tone is the depth of color you see when you look at your complexion. Think fair, light, medium, tan, deep, and all the beautiful variations in between.
Your undertone is the subtler hue underneath it. Undertones are generally described as warm, cool, neutral, or olive. Two people can have a very similar skin tone while needing completely different shades because their undertones aren’t the same. That’s why our dedicated Tinted Mineral Dayscreen shade finder considers both.
If you’re not sure about your undertone, there are a few clues you can look for. Warm undertones tend to have golden or peachy tones, while cool undertones tend to lean pink, red, or blue. Neutral undertones sit somewhere in between, and olive undertones can have a subtle greenish quality.
But don’t feel like you need to become a color theorist before buying your tinted SPF. These are guides, not rules. The easiest way to find any skin tint shade is to consider your overall skin depth and undertone together—which is exactly what our shade finder helps you do.
How do I use the BOJ Tinted Mineral Dayscreen shade finder?
Can’t swatch IRL? We’ve got you.
Our shade finder takes some of the guesswork out of shopping for a tinted sunscreen online, whether you already have a complexion product you love or you’re starting completely from scratch.
If you already know your shade in another complexion product (even if it’s not a tinted sunscreen for your face), start with the comparison option. Enter the product and shade you already wear, and the finder will use that information to help identify your closest Tinted Mineral Dayscreen match. Basically, let the foundation bottle already sitting in your makeup bag do some of the work for you.
Don’t have a current match? No problem. Choose the option to find your shade from scratch instead. You’ll answer questions that narrow down your skin tone and undertone until you land on the Tinted Mineral Dayscreen shade that best fits your complexion. First, you’ll assess your skin tone’s depth, then we’ll show you some models. Just pick which one looks the closest to your complexion, then select the undertone that matches yours. Our magic shade finder will then reveal your best fit.
Whichever route you take, remember that all 15 shades were made to be flexible. Tinted Mineral Dayscreen SPF 30 isn’t meant to mask your complexion. It creates a light-to-medium, buildable layer that helps even the look of skin while still looking natural.
Your match doesn’t need to perform like your foundation. It should blend in and enhance what you already have.
How can I find my TDS shade match in store?
You’ve made it to the testers. This is your moment.
First rule: Step away from your hand. It’s convenient, but the back of your hand isn’t necessarily the same shade as your face. Instead, apply a small amount of a few likely matches along your jawline, where you can see how each shade works with both your face and neck.
Start with the shade you think is closest, then add one slightly lighter and one slightly deeper beside it. Blend each one out rather than judging the color straight from the tube. Tinted Mineral Dayscreen has a flexible, buildable formula, so you want to see how the pigment actually looks once it’s spread across skin.
Then find the best lighting you can. Store lighting has betrayed all of us at least once. If possible, walk toward a window or check your swatches in natural daylight before making the final call.
Give your swatches a moment, look at your whole face rather than hyper-focusing on one tiny patch, and see which one seems to disappear most naturally into your complexion. And if you’re between two? Keep reading, because that might actually be a good thing.
Can I use more than one shade of Tinted Mineral Dayscreen?
First things first: Tinted Mineral Dayscreen is sunscreen, so your SPF application always comes before the artistry.
As the last step of your morning skincare routine, apply generously and evenly over areas vulnerable to sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Apply more light layers to build up tinted coverage. For an even more seamless, filtered finish, blend with a sponge or brush.
Once you’ve applied your sunscreen properly, then you can play with additional shades if desired. Blend an additional Tinted Mineral Dayscreen shade on top anywhere you want to add a little dimension. A slightly deeper shade can add subtle warmth and definition, while a lighter shade can help highlight select areas. Because this formula is lightweight and buildable, the shades can work together without making your base feel overly heavy.
It’s especially useful if your skin tone changes throughout the year. Your February shade and your August shade don’t necessarily have to be the same. Skin tone can shift seasonally even though your underlying undertone generally remains consistent.
Our new TDS, Make It Double Set makes keeping more than one shade in rotation a whole lot easier. One skin tint with SPF for your everyday match, one for dimension. Maybe one for when your summer tan enters. We support options! Plus, blend effortlessly every time with our BOJ Blend Puff makeup sponge, included in your set.
Finding your shade match doesn’t need to involve staring at your wrist veins for 20 minutes. Start with your skin tone. Get to know your undertone. Let our shade finder narrow things down, or take a few shades for a test drive on your jawline when you’re seeing us IRL.
Once you find your shade, make it yours. Wear your match solo, keep another shade on hand as the seasons change, or blend another on top for effortless dimension. There’s plenty of room to find your match, mix it up, and make Tinted Mineral Dayscreen your own.
