What are good makeup products that double as skincare?

@Ishhh3  To me, the only product that straddles the makeup and skincare categories is tinted sunscreen, or a tinted moisturizer that's at least 30 SPF. Otherwise, I never rely on makeup to impart much (if any) antioxidant/active ingredient goodness or UV protection to my skin. 

Tinted moisturizers/sunscreens include NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer , Saie Slip Tint – Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer with Mineral Zinc SPF 35 and Hyaluronic Acid Six ,Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector , bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Natural Matte Tinted Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 Cinnamon​ , and others. I've tried all of those and the only ones that played nice with my particular skin were the Saie and Laura Mercier. Your results may differ, of course.

Thank you for responding! I have tried laura mercier and i liked it on my skin. 

@WinglessOne @How do you find is the best way to apply skin tints and have you tried the rare beauty one?

[WinglessOne]

@Ishhh3  I don't use skin tints anymore (well, unless you count Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation 7 as a skin tint; I sometimes use that on my oily zone). But when I did, I often used my hands to apply them, especially if they were at least SPF 30 and I wasn't wearing a separate sunscreen underneath. It's very important to use a generous amount of sunscreen for the right level of UV protection. Applying tinted SPF moisturizer with my hands helped me ensure I used enough product and covered my entire face. 

Even if the skin tint didn't contain UV filters, I'd still often use my hands for simplicity's sake. If I didn't feel like washing my hands afterward, I'd use a foundation brush. I hate using beauty sponges on my face, so that was never an option—but if you like using sponges, go for it. I don't recommend using a sponge to apply a tinted SPF moisturizer though: sponges tend to absorb product, and you need all that UV protection to stay on your skin instead. 

I've never tried Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen 56N . If you decide to try it, make sure you use a separate sunscreen underneath it that's at least SPF 30. This product's SPF 20 is too low to be a standalone sunscreen for many people.

@Ishhh3  Tinted moisturizers are wonderful and hydrate your skin while blurring imperfections and allow your natural skin to shine through  NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer 
A tinted lip balm is also beautiful and hydrating while giving you some colour Tower 28 Beauty JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balm Mix 

you can brighten and hydrate your under-eye area with 

Smashbox Smashbox X Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector Fair/Light

Wow these are amazing options! I haven’t tried the nars one but I see quite a few people recommending it. I have the nars light reflecting foundation and love it for heavy makeup days. I will have to give the tinted moisturizer a try. I love Tower 28 but haven’t tried their lip balm. @heartsmyface Do you use the becca brighter by itself or under concealer? 

[heartsmyface]

@Ishhh3  I pat the brightener lightly over my concealer with my finger because it makes that area look bright and dewy.  
It doesn’t survive well under concealer for me and just tends to blend into any concealers I pat overtop- which can be a good thing if you’re wanting an extra touch of pink but there are other products i prefer for pre concealer colour correcting.  
I do use it on its own as well when I’m wanting to appear more awake without a full face of makeup.

One product in my daytime routine that works as both is the Dew Drops by Glow Recipie.

I love this stuff. 😄

I use it after I wash my face but before my moisturizer. It has the bonus of a serum but gives me a glowy highlight ✨️  

The effect is more powerful if I use Glow Recipies Pink Juice Mousturizer (or if my skin is really dry , The Plum Plump Mousturizer)

What do you use and like as makeup/Skincare @Ishhh3 ?

[Ishhh3]

Ouu that sounds amazing!✨

I have tried the glow drops as a primer but not by themselves. I’m sure it’s such a game changer. Can’t wait to try it! 

I recently have got the kosas concealer and can’t wait to try it because it has skin benefits apart from the coverage. 

Another thing I love to you in the summer is glow screen because it gives you such a glow and evens your complexion. I will do my brows with the glossier boy brow gel. 

@CynthieLu I would love to hear more from you, thank you for the response 💜
