The no-makeup makeup trend isn’t going away anytime soon. That said, you might as well get acquainted with the best tinted moisturizers on the market. Similarly to a foundation, these products provide light to medium coverage—sans the weighty feel. Plus, they offer the nourishing benefits of a moisturizer or serum. But most makeup wearers might agree that the finish is what separates a great tinted moisturizer from a run of the mill formula.
The best tinted moisturizers are the kind that make the skin look like skin but better (think: more supple, even and radiant). Below, we’ve rounded up a bunch of options that check the box. We also threw in some hybrid foundations that are worthy of an honorable mention from brands like Ilia, Huda Beauty and Tower 28.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer Natural Skin Illuminator
Available in 20 shades, this tinted moisturizer provides light coverage, along with long-lasting hydration. It also comes in three different finishes, including natural, matte and radiant (seen here).
Tower 28 SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation
Tower 28’s SunnyDays SPF 30 Sunscreen Foundation cancels out redness and imperfections. On top of that, it provides buildable coverage and undetectable sun protection.
Fenty Beauty’s Eaze Drop Skin Tint looks and feels like a second skin. Psst, it blurs the look of imperfections so well that you might forget you’re wearing it.
This skin tint provides light coverage and is spiked with six botanical oils that help moisturize, smooth, plump, nourish, repair and brighten the skin.
In addition to SPF 40, this formula touts the consistency of a serum, the natural-looking finish of a skin tint and the buildable coverage of a foundation.
For those who prefer a radiant finish over a matte look, this tinted moisturizer from Rare Beauty is perfect for you. As a bonus, it’s non-sticky and lightweight, so you can easily apply it with your hands.
Huda Beauty GloWish Multidew Vegan Skin Tint Foundation
We’ve never seen a foundation melt into this skin this good. Consider us shook. And just as the name suggests it imparts a glowy finish with a touch of dew.
