Short YouTube tutorial advising caution when combining tinted and regular sunscreens: do not mix a tinted pump into a regular sunscreen because it can change efficacy and destabilize the product. If you have two identical-SPF products (one tinted, one not), apply one finger-length of each and blend; a demo is performed by Tiffany.

Mix one pump of a tinted sunscreen into a regular sunscreen is something I would not recommend because you can change the overall efficacy of the sunscreen itself and you don't want to destabilize it in a bottle in which it wasn't tested for. But if the tint is too strong and you have an identical product, one is tinted and one isn't, you can apply a finger length of each to your face as long as the SPF is equal. And they are really an identical product. There are two Isden products. They're both SPF 50. Tiffany is going to demo.
One finger length non tinted, one finger length tinted. Apply and blend. Voila.
