Beauty: Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizer is the ultimate miracle product. It's lightweight, evens out your skin tone, doesn't clog pores, and offers a fresh base for your makeup, but there are many tinted moisturizers out there on the market, and some do their duty better than others. Tinted moisturizers are better than foundation for the hot summer months.

You can apply tinted moisturizer with your fingers, a sponge, or a foundation brush. For a flawless application of tinted moisturizer, first dot it on your cheeks, forehead, chin, nose, and neck. Many people forget to apply it to their necks, but if you want the most natural looking application, don't forget your neck! Blend the tinted moisturizer all over your face, and be sure you haven't missed any spots. To finish, use a foundation brush to smooth any lines, or mistakes. There you go! That took less than a minute.

There are many tinted moisturizers on the market, but the products that have received the most rave reviews include Stila, Laura Mercier, and Smashbox.

  1. I think that the best tinted moistureizer is the one that you make yourself! I just take my fav. liquid foundation and mix it with a lightweight lotion (I am fond of Neutrogena's oil-free fresh moisture) and then apply. You can even add SPF!
