Tinted Moisturizers??

which product is better for lightweight and light coverage, Laura mercier tinted moisturizer, nars radiant tinted moisturizer or bare minerals tinted moisturizer?

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

@rechmendez I have tried many tinted moisturizers but my absolute holy grail that I actually use everyday its the ERBORIAN - CC Crème High Definition Radiance Face Cream Skin Perfector - Regular it is just perfect on the skin. Highly recommended

Tinted Moisturizers??

honestly I found that Lancome skin feels good was the best tint I've tried

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

I have fairly sensitive combo skin. (Mostly dry everywhere except my very oily nose.) The Nars tint broke me out, unfortunately, and it stayed sticky/tacky all day. I’m still bummed about that because I love Nars and wanted their tinted moisturizer to work. 

 

I’m still on the fence about the Bare Minerals tint. The shade that should work on me kinda doesn’t, and I think it also made my skin flip out a bit. I tried a couple different new-to-me things on my face, so I need to narrow down which product my skin didn’t like. 

 

Haven’t tried Laura Mercier yet, but it’s on my list. Maybe I’ll buy one during the Sephora BI appreciation sale! (Note to self: swatch in store and add to cart!) 

 

The skin tints I do wear often: 

 

Lancôme Skin Feels Good - It’s marketed as a foundation, but it’s really more of a moisturizing skin tint. I love this stuff. The shade range is surprisingly limited and needs expansion for deep/dark and fair shades. But the tint feels great on my skin, doesn’t break me out, has a slight blurring effect, and can be built up from sheer to medium. (It can probably be built up to full coverage, but I never take it that far. I usually stop at sheer.) It doesn’t cling to my dry patches and it survives the oil slick in the middle of my face. 

 

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation - I like this better than the It Cosmetics CC cream because it gives me a more radiant dewy finish and feels lighter on my skin. It’s marketed as full coverage but I can easily get sheer to medium coverage instead. It’s definitely buildable. It works well on my dry patches. It sometimes has a little trouble with my oily nose, so I either prime my nose first or powder it after. (Or both.) 

RE: Tinted Moisturizers??

I like the NARS as well. I’ve also been trying out Laneige B.B. cushion lately and so far really like it. It does have a bit more coverage than typical tinted moisturizer/B.B. creams but I’m enjoying it.

Re: RE: Tinted Moisturizers??

I just recently purchased the Laneige as well and I’m really enjoying it @maria108!

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

@rechmendez I'm a fan of both LM and Nars (slightly preference for Nars) but I recently tried the new FAB Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer and I loved it. The color selection is more limited, but the coverage is quite light and hydrating, so you might have more leeway as far as matching to skintone. It was just enough coverage to even out my skin tone with a very natural skin-like finish (glowy, not matte) and stayed put for roughly 8 hrs (made it through an outdoor wedding!). I've reached for the FAB over my other tinted moisturizers every time this spring/summer.

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

The NARS one is pretty good, but I find it a bit sticky sometimes, my other go-to is the It Cosmetics your skin but better CC, it has a bit more coverage than a traditional TM, but it applies so well and makes the skin look beautiful.

Nuse finish tinted moisturizer by Bobbi Brown is my one and only love. My face looks fresh and clean, and I don’t even feel like there’s something on it (and it was a problem for me because different tinted moisturizers were just as heavy as a foundation).

RE: Tinted Moisturizers??

I absolutely LOVE the GLAMGLOW tinted moisturizer. I got it as a free sample and have been ordering the full size ever since!

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

I'm obsessed with Urban Decay One & Done. It's not quite a tinted moisturizer (I do still apply moisturizer) and not quite a foundation. I smear it on with my fingers and I'm good to go! I've been itching to try that Josie Maran tinted moisturizer w/ spf though! 

Re: Tinted Moisturizers??

I have only tried Laura mercier tinted moisturizer and Nars radiant tinted moisturizer and love them both.  They are a great for lightweight, light coverage.  Out of the Laura Mercier and Nars I would pick Nars.  I feel like the Nars one fit my dry skin better as well as the color range.
