I've heard good things too. I may opt for that one or Smooth Operator.

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.

i must try it too

i used to use covergirls tinted moisturizer.. it just didn't give me the coverage i wanted so i went to a regular foundation, but now use bare minerals.

Tinted moisturizer

I hate wearing foundation during the summer, for me it's wasteful and uncomfortable, especially given that I am in TX.
What brand tinted moisturizer do you guys use? I've got skin more on the dry side than anything else and it can be sensitive, though not always...
Thoughts?

I hate foundation full-stop and tried one that is probably more like a tinted moisturiser - Becca's Luminous Skin Colour (the colour I use is 'Camel'). It's really light on the skin, though it sort of feels like it could melt off in extreme heat (I'm talking 40 C, it was a hot summer in my part of Australia this year).

So yeah, you might want to check it out? The brand is Becca.

Many thanks!

I generally use Neutrogena Tinted Moisturizer in Medium, but I'm looking at other options...thank you for the suggestion!

Hey Shimmer,

It's not technically called a tinted moisturizer, but it is quite sheer and the coverage is medium-light. Clarins True Comfort Foundation is my HG. I love it. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and goes on sheer. I don't know that this is exactly what you are looking for... maybe check out Clarins? I think they have a tinted moisturizer and I am so impressed with TCF that I would bet their other foundations/tinted face products are great.

HTH!

 

[Shimmer]

anything that can offer okay coverage while not caking up in the heat is going to get a look from me!!

thank you!

I would try Cover Girl (CG Smoothers). It's very light but evens out the skintone nicely. I use the Neutrogena skin clearing clean tint as well, so I can tell you the Cover Girl is a little lighter.

 

[HapaDynazty]

if you like neutrogena have you tried clean tint?? i love that stuff. it actually has pretty good reviews on makeupalley.com too

I love Pixi Hydrotint Duo. It has SPF 20 and on its cap it has a tint for lips/cheeks! i originally got it for the packaging but i love how it evened out my skin tone without feeling heavy.

I love Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for the summer. It has spf. If you can get to a counter, the MA's are really nice and would probably hook you up with a sample.

I recently bought Stila's tinted moisturizer, and to me, it seemed less moisturizing (it didn't glide on like a moisturizer, but more of a foundation) and more about coverage, which isn't what I want. My skin gets dry very easily, so the point of a tinted moisturizer to me, is to look decent and build up some softness.

This was less of a suggestion, and more of a rant...lol, sorry! I used to use Neutrogena's, and I think that's what I'll go back to.

I've actually tried a bunch of Becca products, and even though they're supposedly hypoallergenic, I reacted really badly (particularly to the concealer). I'm super sensitive, though, so this probably isn't a problem for anyone else.

I personally use the Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser, or my Laura Mercier foundation mixed with moisturiser. Both work really well.
