Tinted Moisturizers - any recs?

[Jennifer Mcfly]

I used to use Clinique's Almost makeup, but it was still too heavy for me. Then I tried some drugstore brands and here's what I got:

CG Smoothers SPF 15 tinted Moisturizer (Cover Girl) and to this day it's my favorite sheer tinted moisturizer.

Then I decided to try Neutrogena's Skin Clearing Clean Tint and although I like that it had salicylic acid in it, it has a gross smell.

That's all I got. Since I'm happy with Covergirl I haven't felt the need to go high end yet.

i started using Laura Mercier TM last december and im obsessed with it now. yea, $40 is a little expensive but its well worth it.

Tarte Smooth Operator is my new HG foundation, a little heavier than a TM, but absolutely WONDERFUL!

[MissJA]

Has anyone tried Mac's Select Tint? Whats it like?

Some of the members posted that they like Tarte's Smooth Operator. How is the finish? Is it easy to blend?

I've heard great things about Bourjois Happy Light...was planning on getting it myself actually!

I love Smooth Operator too and it's my new HG TM but have never paid more than $15 for it, EBAY, EBAY, EBAY!

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.

use benefit's you rebel!

[aziajs]

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.

[Luxurious]

i must try it too

[lovemichelle]

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.

[Shimmer]

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?

[mspixieears]

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.

[Shimmer]

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

[Wattage]

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!

[Jennifer Mcfly]

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.
