When it comes to beauty, it’s evident that skincare has risen to the top of the priority list. People are taking better care of their skin instead of caking on layers and layers of heavy makeup – and we’re all for it! It’s all about keeping our skin healthy in the long run and aiming for more natural and authentic looks instead of the airbrushed makeup looks you used to see all over Instagram in 2016.
However, prioritizing your skin doesn’t mean you should stop wearing makeup entirely! More and more companies are coming out with new products that combine the nourishing element of skincare and the coverage of makeup, a.k.a tinted moisturizers! They’re moisturizing, contain SPF (mostly), and they look SUPER natural on the skin! That’s why skin tints are a MUST in your everyday makeup bag. Here are the best tinted moisturizers for different types of skin!

If you’re a fan of CC creams, you’ll love this one! Supergoop is known for its sunscreens, so you can be assured that this product will shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays! One thing to keep in mind is that you should moisturise your skin before using this product, we want healthy skin after all! Overall, it concentrates on protecting your skin while also smoothing it out, giving you that natural, skin-like appearance.
