Neutorgena Healthy Skin Enhancer is the very best TM I have ever tried! I love that it has spf20 AND an expiration date on the bottom. I think cosmetics should have an expiration date.

I TOTALLY love Becca's LSC. Kinda pricey but my absolute favorite.

Sisley new tinted moisturizer!!Big rave for this!!!.I used Clarins,YSL,Lancome and BB,but no one beats Sisley.I got samples in shade #2Beige dore,and it,s great to give a sunny glow to a fair complexion.My match shade should be #1,but Beige dore gives me just a bit of colour without being obvious.Love it!

3 I have in current rotation:
MAC Select Tint, Laura Mercier (has the most coverage) and the new Revlon Age Defying Light makeup- this has an SPF 30 and is suppoed to be sweatproof.

For those who loved the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer- would it be good for someone with oily, acne-prone skin? Or should I try the Skin Clearing Clean Tint?

I have oily skin and Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer is great for me!It's the only thing I've been using lately!It doesn't break me out!I top it with MAC Blot Powder in Medium and it works great!
I haven't used the Skin Clearing Clean Tint,so I can't express any opinion on that!
HTH!

1st time quoting someone, Yay! Anyway, how is the coverage, sheer/light/medium? Is it good for redness/uneven skintone/acne scars/blemishes/large pores? I really appreciate the information, So thank you very much!

The coverage is sheer to light,but it's GREAT for uneven skin!It somehow makes redness,blemishes etc appear less,but you still need concealer!As for large pores,it makes my skin super soft and it minimises my pores (although they're not too big!)
HTH!

I just bought it today in Tan-Olive shade and I'm liking it so far! It evens out the redness of my skin, but if you may want to dab on concealer after applying it if you want more coverage (i.e. scars, etc.) It feels light and looks natural on me. It's also great it has SPF20! 
I may use this now for everyday look. Just put it on my face, concealer (if needed) then a quick dust of blot powder and I'm good to go!

I have been using Neutrogena Tinted Moisturizer in Light Tint and I think it works great. A little bit of it goes a long way.

I've been using Stila's sheer color tinted moisturizer and it is lovely. It is not heavy and leaves the skin feeling very soft all day.
I have heard the Laura Mercier TM is very nice as well.

im in love with Sephoras tinted moisurizer as far as "higher end" cosmetics go, and its 18 dollars. For drugstore, Wet N Wild makes one for 4 bucks but its not entirely sheer, nor moisturizing and a bit hard to blend because of it. Other than that, I just squeeze out about half of my regular foundation and combine that with regular moisturizer and make my own. I find that way, you can "custom blend" yours to your skinds need, wether its dry, oily, or acne prone. If I need more coverage, I use either a 60% found. to 40% moist. or 70%-30%. HTH!
