Re: Tinted Moisterizer?
I like Stila's, but you could just mix some moisturizer and foundation together. One time I got my make up done at MAC and the MA put select tint and that was reallly nice. My skin has been acting wierd lately too I think it is the changes in weather.

Last year I was in a similar search, but found nothing I really liked.
Some background on my skin type: medium-dark, tans easily, combo skin (oily on the t-zone and normal everywhere else), and sadly, I get milias.
Anyway, I tried the following:
1. Laura Mercier TM (both the regular and oil-free versions) - I got a good size sample from the Macy's counter. I tried it out for like a week and felt that the texture didn't sit well on my skin. It made blush and makeup application a little hard since things didn't seem to sit/blend well. My biggest gripes though were the fact that most of the ingredients were comedogenic AND THE STUFF TURNED ME ORANGE! Oompa Loompa status!!
2. Benefit You Rebel: This was okay but I felt that it made me pretty oily by midday. Plus the packaging wasn't the greatest. You'd pretty much be screwed if you misplaced the top, if you didn't seal it tight enough, and as you use the product the squeezing of the tube obviously dents the packaging and can eventually cause breaks at the seams.
3. Stila TM - Clogged the pores and my makeup pretty much slipped off my face since it made me super oily.
Anyway, after all the research and testing I decided to just mix my own. I mix a little of my Laura Mercier Mineral powder with my Oil-Free Peter Thomas Roth Moisturizer that gives me an SPF 12. When I need higher SPF especially right now, I also brush on the Peter Thomas Roth Mineral SPF 30 powder. I'm loving it so far =) HTH!

I usually just mix my foundation with moisturizer. I tried Duwop Revolotion and I hated it :\

I'll leave this up since I already wrote it, but I noticed that someone else had already recommended this after the fact 
Hi Fashion Vixen:
You should try making your own tinted moisturizer...this way you can use a moisturizer that caters to your specific needs and you can get the color just right for your skin tone. I usually mix a little liquid foudation in with my daily moisturizer (Eucerin Facial Moisturizer) that has a 30 SPF. It works great and looks fabulous. I've gotten plenty of compliments on how my skin looks flawless!
PS. Some may prefer products from the cosmetic counter, but Eucerin was budget friendly at $8.00 and it's great on my skin. Give it a try.

Laura Mercier's oil free -- it's amazing. Even the beauty editor at Lucky Magazine fell in love with it when she tried it.

It's really hard for me to find the exact shade for tinted moisturizers. so i just use my foundation a shade darker and mix with Aveeno Continuous Proection Sunblock Lotion SPF 55 . I then apply the mixture with my foundation brush and blend blend blend. The results are faboulous! Not only do it cover the ugly spots like acne scars and redness, I also get that dewey look for the summer. If you're really oily, I suggest dusting a little translucent powder over to not look soo shiny =)

A new one Ive recently tried:
Mark's C-Thru-U Beautifying Tint!
Mark is a line from Avon, btw.
its really good, it has SPF 15, and with some loose powder [also from Mark], it lasts throughout the day, and gives really good protection. it goes on great, and blends perfectly - and you can add more to build more coverage! best part, is that it made my pores look smaller - I love finding products that do that.
I think its great, and the tint paired with the Just Pinched blush in Cheeky is the perfect summer look - dewy and fresh!
and its only $8 - can you say, steal?

You too? I JUST LOVE La Mer TM, I have oily skin and can use it alone and it's improving my complexion. It's my new love. If only it had a little bit more coverage.
