It’s a phenomenon: skin tints are growing wildly popular amongst makeup lovers. And why wouldn’t they be? Boasting of hero skincare ingredients in those tinted formulations, while offering the most beautiful skin-like coverage, it’s hard to not love these hybrid skincare-makeup products. But there is some confusion regarding what exactly is a skin tint. These products are meant to offer lightweight coverage to your skin for a natural effect with a breathable formula unlike full coverage foundations that can wreak havoc on your skin. Of course the lines have blurred even further, as we now have moisturisers, primers, sunscreens, and serum foundations all of which work just like a skin tint and also help treat your skin concerns. Yes, the product pool is endless, but we’re here to help you choose only the best. We’ve tried out a bunch of tinted skincare-makeup hybrids to present you with the best tints for experiencing a your-skin-but-better effect.
6 Skincare-Makeup Hybrids To Ace Your Base
Selfie Ready
A sunscreen that works as a universal skin tint, this one will change your grooming game. It offers broad spectrum SPF 50 protection that protects your skin from both sun and blue light damage. And it’s also water resistant. So whether you’re going for a swim or getting drenched in the rain, this tinted sunscreen isn’t going to budge. It has a lightweight formula with a mousse texture and is enriched with spinach extract. This means the product not only blurs dark spots, dark circles, evens out your skin tone, and boosts your natural radiance, but it also helps reduce fine lines and provides antioxidant protection.
You Glow Girl
Skincare aficionados rejoice because this tinted moisturiser has got your back. Enriched with hibiscus, aloe vera, and calendula extract, this moisturiser corrects your skin tone and offers lightweight coverage all while keeping your skin soothed and hydrated. It also contains SPF 25 for protection against sun damage. If you want to avoid makeup altogether and or have acne prone skin, this tinted cream is gold standard.
Hollywood Staple
You’ve seen it in all those beauty reels because it is a viral makeup product. The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter works like a primer, highlighter, and skin tint. It can be used under makeup but really this product works well all by itself too. It effectively covers up uneven skin tone and delivers an unmatched glow thanks to the glow oil used in its formula. The USP of this product is that it makes your pores appear smoother and refined too.
Ayurvedic Cover
Powered by herbs sourced in India, this ayurvedic skin tint is simply amazing. It gives you dewy coverage that is super hydrating on your skin. It works just like a BB cream that improves the appearance of skin by moisturising, correcting skin tone, and reducing fine lines, dark spots, and enlarged pores.
Be Like Water
This one is a classic hydrating skin tint that has a cult-favourite reputation. The formula is super lightweight and hydrating without making your skin feel greasy. It has a water based gel formula that is enriched with soothing ingredients like rose water, lavender, and green tea. It feels cooling and refreshing when applied and is so breathable. The tint improves your complexion and covers up blemishes, discolouration, while minimising the appearance of pores.
The Balancing Act
Oily skin beauties, take note! This serum foundation has a dewy matte finish which means it is mattifying but gives your skin a lustre that isn’t greasy. Since it’s a serum foundation it has loads of benefits for your skin as well. The tint does a great job of covering up blemishes and discolouration just like a light to medium coverage foundation. Other than that, it has niacinamide that controls excess oil production and soothes acne, hyaluronic acid that hydrates skin and heals acne scars, kale oil which boosts collagen production, and calendula extract that soothes skin and prevents breakouts.
