Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 5%; Zinc Oxide 5% (mineral-based sunscreens).
Other Ingredients: Water, Cyclomethicone (silicone slip agent), Propylene Glycol (water-binding agent), PEG/PPG-118/18-Dimethicone (silicone-based emulsifier), Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate (thickener), Talc (absorbent), Dimethicone (silicone slip agent), Phytantriol (water-binding agent), Tocopherol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (antioxidants vitamin E and C), Boron Nitride (absorbent), Glycerin (slip agent), Palmitic Acid (thickener), Dextrin Palmitate (emulsifier), Sodium Hyaluronate (water-binding agent), Sodium Chloride (stabilizer), Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben (all preservatives).
May Contain: Iron Oxides, Ultramarines (FDA-approved cosmetic pigments).
Directions: Apply to clean skin using a makeup sponge or clean fingertips. Dab tint onto the central part of your face and blend toward the jawline using smooth, even strokes. Because this product contains sunscreen, it is imperative to apply it at least 20 minutes before going outdoors.
If needed, apply a light layer of moisturizer under the tint. If you have dry skin, moisturizer can help make application easier and coverage more even.
It is recommended that you apply the tint liberally to achieve the rated level of sun protection. A too-thin application will not sufficiently protect the skin from the sun. If you plan on applying a sheer application of the tint, it is recommended that a regular sunscreen be applied first to ensure you are getting enough sun protection.
This tint can be applied to the eyelids and then set with powder. This step will ensure an even application of eyeshadows and eyeliner.
Barely There Sheer Matte Tint can be layered for additional color and a bit more coverage. Since this is a tint, the level of coverage increases only subtly as you add layers (not substantially as it would with a foundation).
Since the shades are sheer, it is not critical to get an exact match. If you are in-between two shades, we recommend going with the shade that is slightly darker (instead of lighter) than your skin tone. This will add a touch of translucent color to your face, though you will want to make sure the shade matches your neck/jawline as closely as possible.

Barely There Sheer Matte Tint
I hate the feel of foundation on my face. But my makeup feels better on my face on top of foundation. What's a girl to do?! Well, buy Barely There Sheer Matte Tint, of course! This product is awesome!! I can't even tell I have anything on my face, yet my skin obviously looks more "even." Thanks for making such a great product.
—Jessica P
I absolutely love this product. Thank you for making samples. I had tried a different foundation and returned it and almost gave up. I am very fair and have a difficult time with foundation colors. This really evens out my skin nicely without looking like a mask and the color is perfect. Thank you!
—Catherine P.
Dear Paula, I just wanted to rave about your Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. It's absolutely the BEST tinted moisturizer out there! I have combination skin and other tinted moisturizers are just too greasy. I don't even have to powder my t-zone with this one, AND my face is protected with a generous spf 20. Thanks for a superior product, again.
—Philene S.
I love this foundation! I tested this foundation against a high-end foundation: On one side of my face I wore the expensive foundation, and on the other I wore Paula's Choice. (I did this for a few days.) The Paula's Choice Sheer Matte Tint "tied" with the expensive foundation on several factors (blendability, coverage, color, finish, SPF). Price was not a deciding factor in my test as I am willing to spend big money on the right products. The fact that Paula's is only $13 is the cherry on the sundae!
—Kim W.
I have been using your products for a while now and I am absolutely thrilled with them. I especially love the Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. It glides onto my skin and provides sheer coverage that stays put all day. I also use the cleanser, toner and BHA lotion and love them all! Your products are everything you say they are! Thank you so much for providing these pure products at very affordable prices.
—Joanne L.
Love your sheer SPF 20 foundation; it applies like a dream, especially with a foundation brush. Just enough color to cover mild imperfections, just enough sheerness to stay out of wrinkles....perfect. Same for Best Face Forward foundation.
—MJ
I really had second thoughts about ordering this product. Me?? Sheer? Oh yeah! I was pleasantly surprised that my skin looked perfected, natural, warmed, and soft. Yea!! from this 51 year old lady who still loves to look great. Paula's Choice skin care is what I use, daily, repeatedly, and loyally. Thanks Paula, you are the best!
—Paula
This looks so natural. I ordered the samples and found the exact color that looks natural on me. It feels good in hot or cold weather and doesn't look like foundation. Plus it has a SPF15 only which is what I prefer. Thank you!
—Martha S.
I am 53 years old. The heavier foundations I used to use are no longer flattering. The Barely There Tinted Moisturizer is perfect for everyday use on more mature skin.
—Ayako O.
This foundation feels so light and blends so effortlessly into my skin. It looks so natural that nobody can tell I'm wearing makeup. I have been using it conjunction with the Barely There Sheer Blush. I've received numerous compliments about my beautiful complexion!
—Alison L.
As I'm sure most women have, I've tried sooooo many different foundations; but, I've never really been happy with one. I have combination skin and rosacea. Barely There Sheer Matte Tint is amazing! It simply evens out my skintone, which can look flushed at times, and makes me look beautiful! I love it!!! I can't thank you enough!!!
—Marcie W.
I just wanted to let you know that never in my life have I found a foundation that actually matched my skin color and was easy to apply. I'm fair skinned and sort of yellowy, but pinkish where I breakout. I have spent a fortune on all different brands of makeup. The colors have always been too pink or too orange or the formulations were too hard to apply. Your Sheer Ivory Barely There Sheer Matte Tint is perfect!!! It blends into my skin easily.
—Stephanie G.
I am truly impressed with your Barely There Sheer Matte Tint. Finally a foundation that gives light but even coverage, it evens my skin tone without feeling like a mask. I finish with Healthy Finish Pressed Powder for a very natural look. The compliments I get just reinforce what I see in the mirror. Thanks!
—Kathryn T.
I have tried at least 50 brands of foundation. My search is over. Paula's Sheer Matte Tint is the best in the world. I love all the products. THANK YOU, PAULA!!!!
—Lynne A.
You can't even feel it
Foundation ALWAYS appears orange on me but I need the coverage. This leaves NO demarcation, makes your skin look NATURALLY beautiful, and feels like moisturizer!
—Nancy Whenton
Barely There Foundation
As with most of Paula's products, I am again impressed with another fantastic product. I tend to stay away from foundations because of the way they feel on my skin. Barely There is exactly what it claims, it evens out my skin tone without feeling like I have a layer on my face. The mineral sunscreens pose no problems for breakouts either! Love it!
—Sharon
Beautiful skin
Your Barely There Sheer Matte Tint makes me WANT to wear sunscreen every day. Thank for a wonderful product that makes my skin look perfect and helps keep it that way!
—Cindy
Barely There Sheer Matte Tint
This tint is the best and is comfortable without being heavy on oily/combination skin especially in humid Texas. I'm going to try Best Faces Forward for the summer which I know will be great. Thanks for all of your products Paula! They do what they promise!!
—Pam S.
The best!
This product is very impressive. It's not sticky or blotchy. It goes on like silk and soaks in fast and dry. It blends beautifully and gives great coverage with a natural look. The SPF factor is an added plus, not having to use 2 products! Thank you for creating an easy, affordable and quality product.

I love your Makeup! I had given up using foundation as it always looked phony. I cannot believe with a minimal amount of blending, it looks perfectly natural. I am a believer!!!
