BB Cream or Tinted Moisturizer Recommendation?

[carlym99]

Hi Sephora Makeup Enthusiasts,

I'm looking for a light to medium coverage BB/CC Cream or Tinted Moisturizer for everyday use. I have fair skin tone and dry to combination skin. 

I've been using Nars Tinted Moisturizer which has been okay...but I'm looking for something new to try.

Thanks!

@carlym99 You could try LANCôME - SKIN FEELS GOOD Skin Nourishing Foundation

I use the Cc Cream from Itcosmetics! It is spectacular, has excellent coverage and skin care fantastically, ideal to use every day!

Ive been using Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat All-In-One-Glow in Porcelain, beautiful tinted moisturizer. Gives beautiful medium coverage, a nice glow and has spf in it, going to buy a new one once I run out of my current tube. Its my must have for summer 😄

I second this choice! It's so dewy and beautiful and has a lovely smell.

@carlym99  As a few others have suggested, the Bare Minerals is fantastic and lightweight, it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all! I also really enjoy LAURA MERCIER - Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20, that’s been my go-to daily product for a long time as I find it leaves more of a natural finish than the Bare Minerals. The Bare Minerals leaves more of a dewy finish, so you might find your combo areas get a bit shiny.

Seconding! Feels lightweight on my combo skin

@carlym99  I really like BAREMINERALS - COMPLEXION RESCUE™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 - very hydrating and nice glowy coverage. Also PERRICONE MD - No Makeup Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 30

is an interesting product that gives just a nice sheer wash of color

Hi @carlym99 ,

I second @Kim888 's recommendation! The BareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 feels really hydrating and comfortable on the skin. I'm obsessed with the gel cream formula. I would say it's light coverage, and I do apply a thin layer of BareMinerals Matte Loose Powder foundation in areas where I need a bit more coverage or oil control.

Best,

Laurie 🙂

@carlym99  I've been trying the Make Up For Ever Perfecting Skin Tint for a few weeks, and I love it. It does have a slight fragrance to it, but I don't mind it and it doesn't irritate my rosacea. It doesn't completely cover my redness, but I love how it evens everything out. I'll try to update this when I find a picture of myself wearing it. My other favorite formula-wise is the Dr. Jart+ Premium BB, but it's waaaaaayyyyyyyy too pink for me. Such a shame, because it's fantastic.

@tastelikewater ,

I know what you mean! I'm a huge fan of the Dr. Jart + Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 formula, and it is quite pink for me. I've actually mixed it with my Fenty Beauty foundation and Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation (which are way more neutral) and it created a really beautiful finish! I like that it plays well with other products. 🙂

@LaurieBT That's genius! The MUFE foundation is my absolute holy grail, and I never thought to mix it. Thank you for the inspiration!

Here we go! You can still see all of my freckles and minor redness on my nose and cheeks, but it makes my skin look pretty even and healthy.
