I've been using both Tarte Smooth Operator and Stila Illuminating TM. the tarte gives me more coverage than the stila, but the stila is more shimmery, I think. (I like to glow! lol)
I apply sunscreen (or moisturizer) let it soak in, then apply primer, and then apply the TM. then I'll put a little powder on top.
I've heard that you shouldn't use products with avobenzone (most sunscreens) and titanium dioxide (other kinds of sunscreens and sometimes the SPF in foundation)...? does anyone have more info on that? if I let my sunscreen completely soak in (20 mins or more) and then put a non-spf primer, would the primer act as a barrier between the two products? stila TM has avobenzone in it (as does my sunscreen) but tarte SO has titanium dioxide.
thanks for any help!

Maybelline pure makeup with some liquid luminizer or MUFE mat velvet+ mixed with any clean and clear moisturizer.

I really like Lancome's tinted moisturizer. It has spf 30, both UVA and UVB protection. It moisturizes pretty well (i have very dry skin, so I still use other moisturizer underneath, but this makes my skin look very dewy) and gives a sheer to medium coverage. It dries semi-matte, so sometimes this is the only thing I wear - no need for powder! I think it comes with 4 colors. I am NC25 and I use Natural (the lightest).

Last time I posted here, I was using Mark's C-Thru-U Tint. But its way too dark for me now, since I've started wearing sunscreen. I have combo skin, so I needed something that could even out my skin and keep it moist during the day. So now I use DuWop's Revolotion Face TM.
Its got SPF 15, so I still have sun protection. Its has "light reflecting particles," so it blurs imperfections and make pores appear smaller, too. Its really rich, so a drop is really all it takes to spread on the skin. It glides on easily, and is good to apply on the go. This stuff is best for combo/oily skin - its a hit and miss for the dry types; if you're of the dry skin variety, you should have another moisturizer on underneath. It will last at least a year with good storage and daily use.
I must say though - I think using this on a daily basis improved my skin. Little to no breakouts, and my skin isn't as tight as it usually is. Its worth the $29.

Actually, yes, I have tried it. If you have combo skin, forget about it. I didn't like the texture, felt it was way too moisturizing (and I used it with another moisturizer and by itself) and I do think it oxidizes on oily skin.
I think Select Tint by MAC is a better product with better coverage and a better range of coverages. Considering you're an NW20, you're most likely shade 1 of the Dior. But seriously. For that price? The Laura Mercier is better.

I'm currently using Cover Girl's CG Smoothers in the medium-dark shade & I love it. It's really light, covers some of my imperfections(I add concealer if I want a "perfect" face), and is easy to blend. It's also inexpensive, which is a plus in my book.
I tried a sample of the Select Tint in NC50 & it didn't seem to have a slight shimmer to me. I love the glowing look, so I may have to check it out again & cross my fingers!

I tried a couple of tinted moisturizers, but they kept breaking me out and weren't always good color matches. Then I read about mixing your own and it was one of those "oh duh that makes sense" moments.
I just use a moisturizer that is light and doesn't break me out and a foundation that is a good color match (or mix two foundations together).
It can be a little messy as I mix it in my hands, but I love the look it gives me and I also love the fact that I can adjust for how sheer I want or adjust the shade during the year since I often mix two foundation shades.

Hi Everyone!! I am very new to this site(4 min) and I am loving it so far!! My face is VERY brake out prone so I have to say that the MAC and Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizers have been THE BEST for me. My skin looks perfect with that and loose powder on top.
Hope that helps

My favorite is Stila's original TM. Dior's is also nice. For really sensitive skin I suggest Vincent Longo's tinted moisturizer. It's water based and can be built to pretty much full coverage. Plus, it's currently 30% off @ Sephora. Bittersweet.
Another good one for sensitive skin is Cover Fx. It has multivitamins and peptides. Great for anti-aging!

I was always told you could create your own with a few drops of the foundation you currently wear and mix it with the moisturizer you already use and I do it and it looks just fine. that way if your skin is really sensitive like mine you don't bother it by trying new stuff you're using things you use all the time and your skin wont go crazy! because mine does EVERYTIME I try new facial products... I hope that helps
