15 Tinted Moisturizers That Are Basically the Paris Filter in a Bottle
Here’s the key to perfecting your “no makeup” makeup look.
A tinted moisturizer is basically the cure-all for indecisive people who can’t decide between just a moisturizer or a full face of foundation. The double-duty product blends skincare ingredients with the coverage of makeup (and sometimes sun protection, too!) to into one product that can seriously simplify your routine.
“Tinted moisturizers can be seen as an extension of your skincare routine, with the instant benefits of improved skin tone and added radiance,” says Dani Kimiko Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and founder of Kimiko. Also encompassing breakout-busting BB creams (which tend to offer slightly more coverage) and even fuller-bodied, color-correcting CC creams, “some tinted moisturizers address specific concerns including dry skin, acne-prone, or oily skin, and they often contain SPF to further simplify your routine,” she adds.
Whether you have sensitive or oily skin, or just want an effortless beauty routine, there’s a tinted moisturizer out there for you. We polled ELLE’s editors—all experts on getting ready in a rush (hello, deadlines) on their favorite tinted moisturizer on the market.
