Tinted Moisturizers - Discussion & Recommendations

I use Jergen's Healthy Glow Facial Moisturizer. It has SPF 20 AND self-tanner (without the self-tanner smell). It goes on quickly, smoothly and it can be found at any walgreen's, grocery store, walmart or target.

I like Clinique's City Block for the broad-spectrum sunscreen, but I wish in came in a choice of tints. Sometimes I mix Face & Body with Neutrogena's Sensitive Skin sunblock as a poor woman's tinted moisturizer with a high SPF.

I love dior's hydraction tinted moisturizer. Also it is kinda pricey but the hourglass one in amazing! (it's even waterproof!)

Try mixing your favorite foundation w/ your favorite moisturizer.

For me: MAC Studio Fix Fluid + Cetaphil Daily Facial Lotion = instant tinted moisturizer!

I decided I wanted a lighter face routine for summer so I mixed those 2 together one day and I'm in love. Plus it saves money... whoo hoo!

Has anyone tried the sonia kashuk radiant tinted moisturizer? I've been at every target and there are absolutely none in stock. I really want to try it.

I use the Tinted Vitamin Fluid from Sephora

It has Spf 15, I really like it.

Get a Tint from Mark. cosmetics (made by Avon) is great for me.

And it's inexpensive.

The new MAC one is the only one that has worked for me!

I have never used a tinted moisturizer until now, but I'm really loving the new MAC Studio moisture tint. The coverage is very sheer, but it gives your face a nice glow. Even with my usually oily t-zone, I find that my face is much less shiny than it gets with regular moisturizers.

B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful does beautiful tinted moisturisers. If they had a SPF they would be perfect.

I use Dior HydraAction tinted moisturizer, been using it for almost a year now and it has never caused a breakout for me, it has spf20. You can go as sheer as you like or build it up to a medium coverage, doesn't feel heavy at all and it give you a dewy glow in a way.

I'm currently loving Studio Moisture Tint by MAC. It's light and gives just enough coverage. But Laura Mercier is fab too just a little more expensive!

I agree! I love this tinted moisturizer!

It's pricey but I just love Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer! It has so much coverage and blends so beautifully!

I love Bobbi Brown's tm. I was using Laura Mercier's before but her shade selection gets a bit weird towards the darker end of the scale. I'm a MAC NC40 and use Med Dark in Bobbi Brown which is maybe half a shade darker and a little more yellow than Laura Mercier's TM in Sand.

I like Laura Mercier's but it's pretty expensive. Maybelline pure 'foundation' ('shine free with h20') is more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation, coverage is very sheer and is IMO closer to a tinted moisturiser than a foundation! Maybe you could try that?

neutrogena healthy skin enhancer I got it from ulta a couple a weeks ago and its pretty good.

I'm in Canada, so I don't think its available anywhere else....but I use Marcelle tinted Moisturiser. I think I may need to change colours though - its a bit off from my actual foundations and is more neutral toned than cool. It feels a bit thick since its heavy duty lotion - probably better for people with dry skin.

I have used MAC Studio Moisture tint, it worked really well on me, and has SPF 15 in it so that's a plus cause I live in Arizona I've heard great things about Laura Mercier's though, I need to check that one out.

MAC's moisture tint and Bobbi Brown's tinted moisturizer are both great brands that I've tested out. They give very light, natural coverage and cling to your skin. However, my favorite method is still to use a small screw-top jar, fill it with about a teaspoon of a light SPF 15+ moisturizer, then add 1/4 teaspoon or less of foundation and mix it with the cleaned end of a brush.

The nice thing about making your own tinted moisturizer is that you can use up foundations you normally don't use, either because you don't really like them or the shade is a bit off. That's because the coverage is so very light that it just blends in to your skin. This is how I've been using up a Wet n' Wild foundation that I despite the oily texture of: I use the tablespoon of moisturizer with maybe 1/8 teaspoon of the foundation, and it gives super-sheer coverage while clinging to me better thanks to the moisturizer.
