I second the Laura Mercier's oil-free tinted moisturizer. It's awesome and does provide some converage in problem areas

I agree with Rosquared & Dalgyal about Tarte's Smooth Operator. It has an SPF of 20 and it doesn't make my skin oily at all, unlike LORAC's Protectint. I use Facade, which I believe is one of the lightest shades.

Stila has a really great one

[SELFstyled]

I second Stila's as well. Also I hear a lot of good things about Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer too.

I love Laura Mercier's Oil-Free tinted moisturizer. It's kinda pricey (bout 40 bucks) but worth it. You can build up the coverage, or use very little for your lazy days.

Another one to try is Paula Dorf's tinted moisturizer. It gives a more dewy look, but unfortch the line doesn't have a large color range.

I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily and both of these products never bothered my skin.

^^I've used Stila's and I have oily skin...yeah it totaly sucks. It's got so many hydrating oils in it, it doesn't do anything for an oilier skintype.

MAC Select Tint SPF 15 is awesome! It's not a moisturizer but it totally feels like one (it's water based). It blends perfectly into your skin too. I tried Stila's tinted moisturizer once and it made me look like a grease ball - I'm not even oily!!!

[jenii]

Of all the TMs I've tried (and I've tried a few in my time) Laura Mercier's Oil-free TM is the best one.

[yumemiru]

anyone have good sugestions of a good tinted moisturiser? I find in the summer using the many layeres of makeup is too much on my skin, so i wanted to go with something light. Thanks in advance!

[Kiseki]

My HG tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier Oil-Free, lightweight and you can build extra coverages in areas that need it.

[amoona]

Stay away from Stila's Tinted Moisturiser - you'll be grease ball even if you're the driest person alive. It's gross. I use MAC's Select Tint SPF 15, off the hook.

i've heard great reviews on laura mercier's oil-free tinted moisturizer. i haven't tried it yet, but i'm looking forward to it. i really love tinted moisturizers! i don't need heavy coverage, so a light tinted moisturizer is perfect for evening out the skin tone and any "imperfections", all without feeling heavy. right now, i just mix my favorite moisturizer with Bare Escentuals' foundation. it's a mineral powder foundation that can give you a light coverage or a heavier one, all depening on how much powder you add. you can also use this without mixing it with a moisturizer.

good luck!

Sorry if this is somewhere else.

Does anybody have any AMAZING recommendations for tinted moisturizers? I definitely want to chill out with the foundation, because it looks awful. Plus, summers cominggg!

there are a lot of other threads on this subject, but i've heard lots of good reviews on laura mercier's tinted moisturizer. i'm planning on picking some up on wednesday. good luck!

[Lissa]

I like Dermalogica's one, it has spf 15 and gives a bit of a glow to the face

[amoona]

MAC's Select Tint SPF15 - mix some of those new glimmershimmers in them and you got the perfect glowy summer skin.

[Chelseaa]

okay thank youuu.
definitely might try out the mac+glimmershimmer idea.
:]

for drugstore, I'm a huge fan of Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Glow Sheers.

[Kiseki]

My HG tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier's, it has decent coverage and still remains sheer and natural.

Yes, Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizers are EXCELLENT, just the right amount of light coverage for the summer without feeling like you are wearing any foundation at all - gives your skin a beautiful healthy glow

[juicyaddict]

i just bought duwop's TM called 'revolotion face' from nordies rack, it was on sale for $10 (orig $29) it has some light reflecting pigment in it and spf 15. i bought the dark beige color called conchita and and mixed it with colorstay to make it darker. so far so good.

[thenovice]

Can anyone reccomend one? I try to stay away from any drugstore lines mainly because i have used rimmel, maybelline, covergirl-ect... and all of their skincare products made my skin breakout insanely. I am currently using Bare Escentuals in 1.2 or Fairly Light. In MAC i am NC 20 if that helps any. I have combination skin.

The reason for the switch is that my skin has been really terrible lately- so flakey, i look like a crocodile. Its bad. And the BE isn't helping because it is a powder and just makes it so much worse. I don't need much coverage- i just need to even out my skin tone and smooth everything out.

Thanks Guys!

there's a few other threads about tinted moisturizers, so it might help doing a search for it.

anyways, i've heard good things about laura merciers tinted moisturizers so i went to sephora to get a sample of it. it goes on great and it's not too thick or too oily, i went with the oil-free version. for a simple look, i just dab some concealer for my under eyes, apply tinted moisturizer, blush stick, a wash of eyeshadow and mascara. voila--done! try this out!

if you don't want to pick something up, you might want to try and make your own tinted moisturizer with your favorite lotion and use some of the BE foundation. i used to do that and it worked fine for me. for a light application, just add a touch of the foundation and mix it with your favorite moisturizer.

for the flakies--i would recommend exfoliating your face regularly. it really helps buff away the dead layer of skin to create a smooth base. if your skin is tight and dry, i would go with a thicker moisturizer for the night time. i use the aspirin honey mask and a few other homemade masks. i did post a thread on this and there's a few other threads around for this. hope this all helps, enjoy!

Try Mac Select Tint, it's very hydrating and it has SPF 15.
