While on the set of Celebrity Bear Hunt in the steamy environs of Costa Rica, Holly Willoughby's makeup guru, Patsy O'Neill, divulged that she used the Ultra Violette's Daydream Screen Tinted Veil SPF50 on the famous presenter. Offering not just hefty sun protection but also a radiant finish and light texture, it ensured Holly's face stayed both shielded and TV-ready amidst the intense filming schedule.

Tempted by how impeccable her skin appeared - and my own battles with makeup sliding over SPF - I tested the Daydream Screen Tinted Veil myself. Regularly priced at a steep £38 and sold by upscale shops like Cult Beauty, some colours are now snagging a bargain for £26.60 at Sephora, so it's a good time to see if your match is reduced.

Ditching the typical density of SPF products, this dreamy veil graces akin to a fluid foundation, allowing easy merging - though beware of applying too much; you'll only need a dab. For application, a brush is superb, but your digits are fine too.

Boasting 15 different hues, this "tinted" concoction gives more than a mere hint of colourit layers to a soft-to-medium coverage that smooths out complexion irregularities, masks red spots and blemishes, plus leaves a naturally enticing effect.

My experiment culminated in a gentle radiance that finely tuned my complexion. I usually shy away from shiny bases as they tend to amplify oiliness, but this struck a perfect balance lending just enough glow for that fresh, vigorous look without overdoing the gloss, reports OK!.

I confess, the Daydream Screen Tinted Veil did leave a slightly sticky sensation post-application, but a swift sweep of translucent powder on areas like my nose and under eyes quickly rectified that. The stickiness also vanished once it had absorbed into my skin.

Other cosmetics such as blushers, bronzers and highlighters blended seamlessly over the top. I trialled both powder and liquid formulas to confirm their compatibility, and there was no separation or movement once applied.

The Daydream Screen Tinted Veil is fortified with Pentivitin which moisturises your skin, making it a must-have for your summer makeup collection. It's devoid of silicones, oils and alcohols, which renders it suitable for all skin types including my sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Naturally, the major selling point is its SPF50 content, shielding your face from both UVA and UVB rays. However, it's intended to be used as an additional sunscreen layered over your regular SPF, facilitating easier reapplication throughout the day.

Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF50, selling at £40, has been designed to be your standalone SPF, featuring a tinted sheer formula, according to the Mirror.
