Tinted Moisturizer / Tinted Sunscreen

[Erin]

For spring break I am heading down to Florida, and I need a really good tinted moisturizer for those days spent at the beach.

Any recommendations on anything that is worth the money?

I love Clinique CityBlock- I have very fair skin and I wear it all year long. It is matte, but not too matte, it gives me a little dewiness aorund the checks, which I think looks fresha nd cute.

I live in Fort Lauderdale...have fun and be safe wherever you go!

I just recently got some Stila sheer color tinted moisturizer (spf 15). I wasn't even planning on buying it but the dang counter guy put some on me and I fell in love. It's light and leaves a slightly dewy soft finish but not too oily or greasy.

Clinique CityBlock is great!

I heard Shiseido The Skincare Essential Tinted Moisturizer is good, but even the lightest shade is too dark for me

also, YSL Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer, this is more like a corrector, but works like a sheer foundation/tinted moisturizer.

love this!!

not a fan of city block... i used to use super city block (SPF25 one) and the tint was funny

I use Lancomes tint and it works pretty well.. I even wear this w/o powder... and everyone knows Missy cant leave the house w/o powder lol

Its pretty light too...

I wear Day Wear Plus from Estee Lauder, which has a nice bronzy tint on it, and SPF 15. is fabulous, it gives you this nice tanned glow on your skin

Hello all, i need some advice.

i need a good tinted moiusturizer for summer. i dont want one totally sheer, i do need some coverage but dont want a full face of make up. Plus, i'd prefer any drugstore brands rather than department stores, i dont have much to spend. any help is appreciated!

I've been using Revlon skinlights with SPF 15. I use the face illuminating lotion but I think they have a diffusing tint that provides more coverage.

Strobe cream is not a tinted moisturizer, and I don't even think you could use it as a moisturizer... Strobe works great in bringing light to your skin, mix it up with your foundation prior to application, and you would get a fabulous glowy finish ( I use that all the time) ...

A great tinted moisturizer, I swear for this product, is Day Wear Plus by Estee Lauder... it comes with or without tint...the fragrance is delightful... at first, the product seems white, but when you apply it on skin, the tinted micro beads, will break and deliver a golden tint that will suit every skintone... it looks gorgeous alone or with makeup ..and it has SPF 15

i suggest you rebel by benefit. i normally do not go for there products but i do like this one. its about 24 dollars, and worth it. you get a pretty large tube and its packed with spf.

 

[brian]

what about nars gel fraicheur?

it's pretty awesome imo!

 

[Erin]

with Nars you may be getting a little away from a cheap moisturizer

I Clinique City Block-

I use it all year-round - I'm not a "heavy' makeup person

I know its not a drugstore brand, but its pretty cheap- about 15 bucks a tube- Most drugstore ones would prob. around that price

I think it would be better for lighter skin, too. I have very light skin and it is the only tinted moisturizer I've found that blends well.


Ale- would the estee lauder day wear be too dark for very pale skin? I love those tiny capsules in lotions---

 

[eastsidecouturechic]

thanks everyone, i think i'ma try the cover girl, or estee lauder one.

Im not sure about that...I tried it once on my mum, and she is as pale as you can get, but I never got the chance to see how it looked outside in natural light... You can always give it a try at the store, even though the colour is soo sheer,I dont' think it will be a problem...

I Cover Girl's Smoothers tinted moisturizer.... it's by far my favorite drugstore brand of tinted moisturizer
