Best Tinted Moisturizer?

[#1]

I have combination to oily skin. I want to buy a tinted moisturizer. Which one do you recommend? I'm hearing a lot about Laura Mercier but it is too pricey for me.  Is Stila Illuminating/ Sheer good? Or should I go in for MAC or clinique or any other? Please advice.

Hi Queen118,

The BB Cream by Smashbox Julie suggested is exactly what you need! Its similar to a tinted moisturizer in that the coverage is lightweight and natural looking but its jam packed with ingredients to help mattify the skin, perfect, and protect.

Enjoy!

Hi,

Since you are oily skin, I would suggest Smashbox B.B. Cream. This is probably the one bb cream that actually gives coverage and it's great for controlling oils.

I do also like the Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer as well.

Both are great products. The Smashbox has more coverage and higher SPF whereas the Clinique one provides a slightly bit lighter coverage. Let me know how your search goes.

My suggestion is that if you are in between moisturizers I would get a few samples and try it out for a few days.

How would you compare Smashbox BB to Boscia BB?  I tried a sample of Boscia & felt like it was easier to apply.  I like Smashbox BB but you have to apply quickly or it's difficult to spread.  I also felt like my face looked really oily after a few hours of wearing Smashbox.

I would stay away from the Stila Illuminating tinted mositurizer because the shimmer will make you look more oily and shiny.  Instead, try either the Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer or the Tarte Smooth Operator Tinted Moisturizer:

I love Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturizer. It's great for all skin types, and even for combination oily skins like mine and yours.
