Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
Bobbi Brown for sure. It evens out your skin, has a light weight consistency, and has SPF. What more can a girl ask for? I've gone through sooo many tubes of this stuff!

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
i make my own, what i due is squirt a dollop of my day cream on the back of my hand then squirt a small amount of my foundation (i use mac mineralize satin finish) into it, so the ratio is about 75% lotion to 25% foundation mix together and apply i get a nice light coverage and no cakey look. Also sometimes i add a bit of strobe cream into the mix for a more dewy look.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
I didn't read through all of the pages, but if Laura Mercier was recommended...I second that. It is really awesome!

Covergirl Smoothers

Laura Mercier is also nice but it's expensive.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
Korres Watermelon SPF 30 Tinted Moisturizer is the only one I'll use-it is easy to apply with your fingers and has almost foundation-like coverage. Staying power is pretty good, too.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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!

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Get a Tint from Mark. cosmetics (made by Avon) is great for me.  And it's inexpensive.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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!

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

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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?

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?
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.
