I used to use Clinique's Almost makeup, but it was still too heavy for me. Then I tried some drugstore brands and here's what I got:

CG Smoothers SPF 15 tinted Moisturizer (Cover Girl) and to this day it's my favorite sheer tinted moisturizer.

Then I decided to try Neutrogena's Skin Clearing Clean Tint and although I like that it had salicylic acid in it, it has a gross smell.

That's all I got. Since I'm happy with Covergirl I haven't felt the need to go high end yet.

I always heard that Laura Mercier's TM is great.

Tarte Smooth Operator is my new HG foundation, a little heavier than a TM, but absolutely WONDERFUL!

Some of the members posted that they like Tarte's Smooth Operator. How is the finish? Is it easy to blend?

I love Smooth Operator too and it's my new HG TM but have never paid more than $15 for it, EBAY, EBAY, EBAY!

I use MAC Selct Tint with SPF...I like it applied with a damp sponge. No greasiness for me, and no breakouts from it. The only thing I have a little problem with is getting the right color match...even though it's just a tint, it tends to look a little orange-y on me.

I just Bought MAC Select Tint and I like it. I have been looking for tinted moisturizer for a couple months now and finally found it. I don't even use foundation now. I long ago stop using my Studio Tech & Fix. But I still will wear my bare escetuals.

That is a fantastic idea! I might try mixing my strobe cream sample with my Becca LSC - which is actually foundation but it's nice and light like a tinted moisturiser.
