As someone who wears sunscreen every single day whether I plan to leave the house or not, finding a formula that provides protection and works beautifully under makeup is key. The RMS Beauty SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 was actually a recommendation from one of my readers who mentioned that she had tried this and immediately fell in love with it. I had seen it while I was scrolling Nordstrom and it caught my eye. But even though I now have more normal to dry skin, my past oily skin self still gets nervous about the words “radiant” and “glowy”.
But let me tell you, this product has absolutely blown me away!! It’s a skin nourishing mineral based daily sunscreen serum with SPF 30 broad spectrum protection. I’ve been using it for almost 2 years and it continues to be a holy grail product. Especially for those with mature skin, this formula manages to illuminate and blur at the same time. It’s absolute magic.
I’ve tried a handful of RMS Beauty products over the years and some were nice but nothing really wowed me. Then I tried the HydraBlush formulation and was obsessed! For a powder blush, it is the smoothest and creamiest texture. And then I stumbled upon the SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 and have already determined that it will be a repurchase as soon as I run out. It is unlike any other glowy primer or SPF I have ever tried. I also have an ongoing discount code with RMS Beauty so use Maree-15 for 15% off your order on any RMS Beauty products.
RMS Beauty SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 Review
This product is designed to be multi-purpose and correct, provide radiance and protect. It’s a tinted sunscreen that provides broad spectrum protection while also nourishing the skin and creating a soft focus radiance to the skin. Skincare ingredients such as niacinamide and pea extract help to smooth the skin and boost brightness over time. Their GlowComplex technology allows the formula to color correct, blur imperfections and provide a glowy not glittery effect. It gives illumination and SPF 30 in one product!
For me, the first time I tried this on the skin I was speechless with how gorgeous it looked. It immediately blurred imperfections, evened out my skin tone and provided the most healthy “I just had a facial” glow to the skin. My skin is more normal to dry so it suits me perfectly though I don’t find that it gets more greasy as the day goes on. So those with more oily skin types may find this could work for them as well.
How To Use the RMS Beauty SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30
Use it as a daily sunscreen
Since it does have SPF 30, this would be a great mineral based daily sunscreen. Nano zinc oxide protects the skin from the sun’s damaging rays and natural peptides smooth and boost radiance. It is quite pigmented so start with a small amount and build up as needed. But be sure you have applied enough to provide adequate protection. Typically the gauge for a proper amount of sunscreen is the two finger method to accurately determine if you are using enough.
Simply squeeze two lines of sunscreen onto your index and middle finger and that should be sufficient to effectively protect the skin. If you plan to be out in direct sun for most of the day, it is best to reapply every 2 hours if the sun is quite intense. If you are not planning on using this as your daily sunscreen, I would use this as a makeup primer or lightweight foundation on top of another sunscreen. It layers beautifully and does not pill.
Use it as a lightweight skin tint
The formula is designed to help color correct and even out the skin tone so I have loved using this on the weekends as my only complexion product or skin tint. It also helps to blur the appearance of pores and imperfections with a complex of natural peptides so this is great for those that don’t want to wear a traditional foundation.
Use it as a makeup primer
My makeup looks so amazing when layered over this and gives me just enough of a glow without making me extra greasy throughout the day.
Use it over makeup to highlight the face
Because the formula is richly pigmented, I have used the darker shade on my cheeks as a liquid bronzer. I’ve also seen videos of the founder using it on her cheekbones and under the eyes to brighten! It’s definitely a product that has a ton of versatility.
Mix it with your current foundation to add a bit of a glow
Some of my readers have told me that they have mixed it into their foundations and the effect is absolutely beautiful. The shade Medium Aura is too dark for me to wear regularly but I have mixed it into a foundation that is too pale for me and it gave the most gorgeous bronzy glow.
Apply it with fingers and blend with a sponge
I find that rubbing it into the skin with my fingers gave me the best application and then I would blend it out with a damp makeup sponge.
Swatches of the RMS Beauty SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30
I have swatched shade Light Aura and Medium Aura in the above picture. Light Aura is the shade I wear daily but I have been using Medium Aura underneath one of my foundations that is too pale for me at the moment. I squeezed out a very small amount for the middle swatches and you can see how thick the formula is compared to when I sheered it out. It definitely has a glowy finish but not too much for daytime. There are only 3 shades which is a bit limited but they do seem to adjust to a wide range of skin tones.
Before and After Using the SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30
Though the difference is very slight, you can definitely see my complexion looks more even and smooth in the after picture. To be honest, the best way to see the glow in action is to see it in a video (check out my Instagram Reel here of my using it in a makeup look). It definitely minimized my pores and made my skin look a bit less dull and sallow. On the weekends, this is perfect to throw on with nothing else and it instantly wakes up my complexion. I will also add the Medium Aura on the cheeks for a bronzy glow to give my face a bit more color.

More of my favorite RMS Beauty products
If you want to try more from the RMS beauty line, here are a few of my favorite products:
RMS Beauty Eyelights
The RMS Beauty Eyelights are a cream shadow that is formulated to be long wearing, creaseproof while also nourishing the skin on the eyes. All the shades have a shimmer finish but manage to leave the eyelids looking luminous without too much glitter or sparkle. They are easy to wear alone, layer under your favorite powder shadow or layer over a powder shadow. The formula and ease of use allows for it to be a versatile product.
RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Blush
Though these are a powder blush, they are a gel to powder formula which makes them blend seamlessly into the skin. There is no powdery finish that leaves your cheeks looking dry or textured. They also contain skin-nourishing ingredients which help to smooth the skin and leave it looking healthy and radiant.
RMS Beauty Legendary Serum Lipsticks
The RMS Beauty Legendary Serum Lipstick is a unique formula and one that I have never seen before. It’s a lip stain that provides nearly full coverage in just one swipe! It’s intensely pigmented and very long lasting which sometimes can mean that the formula could be a tad drying on the lips. But that is NOT the case with these lipsticks. They manage to be intensely hydrating, comfortable and nourishing on the lips.
RMS Beauty Legendary Lip Oil
The RMS Beauty Legendary Lip Oil is a nourishing lip formula designed to give shine, pigment and nourishment to the lips. This is a 97% skincare infused formula that is designed to provide 8 hr hydration and lip repair. I love the colors, the pigment, the feel and the finish of these lip oils. My only complaint is that very little product comes out so you have to dip the applicator in a few times to get enough product out to give adequate coverage. There is a stopper at the top that helps limit the amount of product that comes out but I may try and remove it to make it easier to get more product out each time. But regardless of that, the formula is too good to pass up!
