Tinted Moisturizers - Discussion & Recommendations

[NikkiHorror]

Thanks, Daizy but I definatley need something that's matte on it's own.

Anyone tried Chanel's Double Perfection Fluide? It sounds pretty good...expensive, but kinda like what I'm looking for.

"A natural for the ultimate natural-looking matte makeup with shine control. SPF 15.

Light to medium coverage, day-long control of oil and shine, and a super-comfortable feel. Ingenious light-reflecting pigments disguise imperfections.

Spherical powders reflect light to give the appearance of a beautifully smooth, even complexion. Traces of fatigue appear to vanish. Skin is protected with SPF 15. Oil free. Fragrance free. Dermatologist tested. Comedogenicity tested"

Hrrrmmmmm....

I'd like to find something like this too. LMK how the Chanel goes if you decide to try it out. Guess it wouldn't hurt to stop by the local counter and get a sample to try.

Giorgio Armani has a foundation called Matte Silk Foundation...here's the description:

"A unique matifying foundation that leaves skin velvety soft and silky smooth. This double-effect foundation combines transparency with a matte finish to control shine. For matte sheer skin and a perfectly even, natural complexion. Normal to oily skin. Weightless and luminous oil-free fluid. Matte finish. Long lasting sheer to moderate coverage."

Hmm, I didn't originaly reply because you mentioned a tinted moisturizer and wanted a matte finish.

Both Chanel and Armani options (even though they advertise it as such) aren't that sheer for a natural look. Both are foundations and usually matte finish foundations have more coverage than they're other fluid counterparts, mostly because in the majority of cases, they have added powder components in their formulations which thickens the foundation.

Here are my recomendations:

Laura Mercier SPF20 Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer
La Mer Fluid SPF18 Tint
Shiseido: The Skincare Essential Tinted Moisturizer

Because of its moisturizing benefits, a tinted moisturizer will always have (in the least) a semi-matte finish, but you can always touch it up with a bit of pressed powder or apply a matifying gel on top.

Too bad your skin doesn't agree with MAC, Select Tint works wonderfuly for me and I don't break out with it.

Also, if you have problem skin or oily skin, don't use the YSL tinted moisturizers, they tend to oxidize and turn orangeish...

Hope this helped.

I've had and enjoyed Armani MSF previously, but would love something that's a little "lighter" looking, like a TM I guess.

I was with my friend when she bought this one and I think it might be more matte than some http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P60208&shouldPaginate=true&catego ryId=5717
They sell it at Nordstrom FV, it's worth chekcing out.

Also guys, remember I said: "It doesn't have to be a tinted moisturizer, per say, but a sheer coverage foundation that has an absolutely matte finish."

Keep 'em comin!

I'm glad you mentioned that last part. When I first saw the thread Title I haven't answered because there is no tinted moisturizer that would look matte. Almost every TM out there will give more of a dewy or "fresh" face moreso than Matte. A matte TM Just doesn't exist.

But a good sheer matte foundation is also going to be really hard to find but My best recommendation is Vincent Longo, or Laura Mercier or La Prarie.

Sorry I'm not more help

If you don't mind using drugstore cosmetics, Wet N Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer is a good one. And it's really inexpensive too.

What about Px Virtual Skin I have been using it for 3 days so far so good.

 

[Greta]

Hmm, it's not a matte moisturizer, but what about mineral foundation? I ordered some samples this week and I am really excited if it works for my oily skin. I'm sick of liquid foundations (in the long run, I think they cause break outs - in my case) but only powder doesn't cover enough.

 

[SagMaria]

Wondering about the end result, did you find anything?

 

[NikkiHorror]

I found a couple other ones but have not been able to purchase any yet.

YSL's Teint De Jour: Tinted Matt Moisturizer

Bourjois Matt Lovely Mattifying Liquid Foundation

I second this! I have it but don't use it because it's too matte for me so it maybe perfect for you

 

[NikkiHorror]

What shade do you have? Maybe we can swap and sell if you're light enough

I have the lightest No. 1 I'm a pale-ass

Tinted moisturizer

I'm on the search for the perfect Tinted moisturizer. I have oily skin and I need some coverage, but not a lot. I will be using blot powder over it so I don't get really oily during the day. I'm an nw15 in studio fix fluid. I'm looking to spend under $30. I can't wear most drugstore brands, but I can wear revlon and Almay.

Re: Tinted moisturizer

I honestly just mix my favourite mosturizer with my fnd to make it work. That way you can have the right coverage for the right day.

Re: Tinted moisturizer

I totally love MAC Select Tint SP15, I find it gives my oily skin a lovely glowiness without being greasy, and it also has surprisingly decent coverage for a tinted moisturiser - in fact, I didn't believe it was classed as such at first, it's almost a light foundation.

Re: Tinted moisturizer

i use tarte's smooth operator or laura mercier's tinted moisturizer. tarte has spf 20 and lm has spf 15 i think. the tarte one has tiny shimmers in it to give a nice glow.
