Thanks for playing!
I'm voting for foundation! I just never have had luck with tinted moisturizers, they either enhanced my dryness, came off easily, or did not match my skintone very well. That being said, I dont wear a ton of foundation anymore but some top picks that I've tried over the years are Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation and Dior Dior Airflash Spray Foundation
I am team foundation! My favorite is bareMinerals bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Light Beige 09 . I used to branch out and try all the new things that came onto the market but I've aways gone back to what works which is the Bare Minerals. It has beautiful, buildable coverage and is so easy to use. I'm usually short on time so effortless and natural is what I go for.
Iโm team tinted moisturizer ! I really like lightweight coverage ! My fave is still the Sephora Glow Play which is technically foundation but itโs really sheer. I also love NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
Totally team Foundation! I have a few, depending on my needs. #Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mini Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation 260 and #pat mcgrath sublime perfection foundation and Gucci รternitรฉ De Beautรฉ 24 Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation 270N has SUPERB coverage and lasts ALL DAY! Looks flawless no matter what.
Round 3 - Foundation vs Tinted Moisturizer
I felt the same way @itsfi I had a big debate over it internally though my tinted moisturizers are all sunscreens lol but foundation was my clear winner at the end of the day, it does everything I want and my MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is just too amazing at the end of the day ๐
#tintedmoistrizer
Thatโs a tough one and Iโm going to have to play both sides this round. I actually I use a bit of bothโฆ. I like to apply a tinted moisturizer all over and then to concentrate something more full coverage near the center of my face where I want my skin to look more clear. I find a get a more natural result that way. Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer Three Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation
@heartsmyface That is a smart way to get the best out of both products.
I am definitely team Tinted Moisturizer! My favorite is Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane !
While I do have both in my stash... I full on support team #tinted moisturizer. The last few years of all the skin tints and tinted SPF's comgin out in a wider shade range and from more companies has made my heart happy and my wallet lighter. I don't think I have one specific favourite. But my current rotation... NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Kosas Tinted Face Oil Comfy Skin Tint Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint with Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation MILK MAKEUP Sunshine Skin Tint Clean Foundation Clarins UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Sunscreen Multi-Protection Tint SPF 50 Light and MAC Cosmetics Studio Radiance Sheer Face & Body Foundation
this is hard because I really love both but I have to go with foundation! I have a few favorites that I rotate through but lately I really like NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation Vienna
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica 100 Light... SEPHORA COLLECTION Best Skin Ever Liquid Foundation
These are some great picks @lmaster! I love both of them!
@JoSometimes they are fabulous!!
Team tinted moisturizer!! i know people need more coverage from day to day, but i HATE the look of foundation on my face, I haven't been able to find a good foundation, and everything creases and turns cakey for me! Tinted moisturizer always gets the work done!
Current fave tinted moisturizers:
My vote goes to foundation. I wear it almost every day. I like tinted moisturizer. However, I like having more coverage. Currently, I am using Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation . I want to try KVD Beauty Good Apple Full-Coverage Transfer-Proof Vegan Serum Foundation next.
Definitely Team Foundation but mostly because I havenโt tried a tinted moisturizer before. Iโve only ever tried foundations that were formulated to also keep some hydration in my skin. Currently liking SEPHORA COLLECTION Best Skin Ever Liquid Foundation.
If anyone has suggestions for tinted moisturizers to try out that play nice with eczema and are easy on the wallet, Iโd be willing to give them a shot some day.
I've used a few tinted moisturizers (all of them have spf) but they are expensive @JoSometimes I am quitting my Elisabeth Arden tinted sunscreen, no matter how much I love it, it's too pricey to continue. If you find a friendly one that's a good price, please share ๐
I got to go with foundation on this one @TeamBIC - unfortunately you guys don't carry my Chanel foundation (Les Bieges super dry skin friendly). But I do like the coverage of the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Undetectable Longwear Foundation
