13 Best Tinted Moisturizers

I actually came online to investigate BB creams (I'm behind the times...finally starting to be curious about them), but this was a nice list!

Thank you robyne00! I will not be trying any of these as I have red, sensitive skin everyday and don't need to add anything to my face or I'll break out.

Ladies with fair skin beware tinted moisturizers. They will not match your skin and will simply cover natural undertones. Also, many women with sensitive skin will notice more frequent breakouts from tinted moisturizers. They are usually laden with ingredients, and many are unnecessary.

I tried Laura Mercier and from my point of view, if you have nothing to hide, it is perfect for you.

I have both good and bad things about the Laura Mercier, but I definitely still want to try it.

Good, i'll wait until it hits the drugstores.

Your Comment: In my quest for the perfect tinted moisturizer I have tried, in 9 months, over 18 highly promoted tinted moisturizers and "BB's" using samples as well as purchased products. There are soooo many on the market now! I was surprised to find out of these 14, I only tried 2! The Olay and the Laura Mercier. I'll make a point to try and get samples to see if any beat the one I have chosen from my testing. I especially want to try Becca . Looks like my quest is on-going! So far, the winner for me, unfortunately, is very expensive. It is Lancome's Re'nergie Eclat Multi-lift., It is a anti aging, firming product which has scientifically proven ingredients. It has everything in one! No need for a primer, pre-moisturizer, highlighter, etc. It truly does it all and improves your skin at the same time. Looking at it that way, I actually save money with this product. I found with most all of the others, I needed additional moisturizing. I noticed in comparing ingredients, Lancome had many more of the expensive oils than the others as well, thus, the price. This product makes my very dry skin look radiant, moisturized and luminized. It would be over-kill to use extra moisturizing with the Lancome product. I live in a very dry climate and it is tough to get enough moisture. There were a few other products I liked: Amorepacific (also very expensive and colors not quite as good as Lancome), Stila (more coverage, heavier), Elizabeth Arden(more coverage heavier, good colors). Almay makes a good product that adapts to skin tone which comes in a few shades. It is inexpensive. Of the products that are one shade and supposedly go with all skin tones when applied, I didn't try many of these, but I liked: Orgins and Dr. Jart (the one in the green tube). I have been using another great foundation, Elizabeth Arden's, Ceramide Cream make-up, which in 40 years, I have not found any better. Although it is a light product, which gives great coverage, I wanted something even lighter for daytime, which would improve my skin over time. I just wish Ceramides were in all facial products. What a difference they make! I still use it for special things evenings out. I just wanted something, a little less there, for during the day and that would improve my skin over time. I always pay more attention to the ingredients than the advertising and promotion of the product. I am not sure how this would work for oily skin. Best to get a sample first to see. For dry skin it is a fabulous find. There are 4 color shades. I have a medium, easily tan, complexion with yellow undertones and purchased the #3 first, but it would work only with a tan, so exchanged for the #2. Perfect! I found with most of the others, the colors were not quite as right for my skin. Some looked grayish and others orange-ish and dead-ish! This one is very forgiving and would go with several shades of skin. The # 1 would definitely be for fair to light-medium complexions. It took me awhile to spring for this purchase, but so glad I finally did it. I'll save on other things to compensate. For example; Mascara is a big thing to me so I save by buying drug store, Loreal Double Extend Waterproof and also the Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof instead of wasting money on the high end brands. They work better than the expensive mascaras I have tried. I have always wanted, and sought the best of everything, at the lowest price. In most cases, it is not always about the highest priced item being the best quality, but, in this case it is. However, it is worth every penny to me. It is not easy for me to spend this much on this product. I just wish Lancome would also create a smaller size, to make this wonderful product more accessible to more women.

I think I just realized how many tinted moisturizers are on the market now. Tons! It is mind boggling! Every company seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. I, first, research everything I buy now, paying special attention to scientifically proven anti-aging ingredients. if I don't know what something is, I Google it. I have been testing every tinted moisturizer I can get my hands on, either by purchasing at discount or samples. I am seeking a one step moisturizer that I don't have to add an additional moisturizer. So many have gone on so dry and required additional help. I have very dry skin, so, no matte finish for me, as It makes my skin look older and showcases my wrinkles. I am home most of the time now, in bed, awaiting two major surgeries. I want something on my face to improve my face that does not feel like I am wearing make up. I want a very moisturizing finish that illuminates my skin. Matte finish is only for those with extremely oily skin or very young skin, in my opinion. Funny thing, of all the ones I have tried so far, and there are about 11, I have not tried any of these 14, listed as the best! I will take another look at a few of them. I have researched most of them but did not choose them, for one reason or another, to try. Usually it gets down to not enough moisturizing, too matte, poor color, or, mainly, ingredients fail my requirements. So far, my favorites are the Amore Pacific, a true dream, tined moisturizer but it is quite expensive and not for the masses. I have appealed to them to make a smaller size for us for half the price. That is still expensive, but do-able. Love the Peter Thomas Roth, as it not only looks great, but, the most important thing to me, it has a very long list of superb ingredients to actually improve my skin while I am wearing it. Love that! Yes, there are a couple of parabens in it, but, I for one, do not mind and have noticed the decrease in quality in some products where parabens, and other such things, have been removed in recent years. I have read many reviews on different sites of late, whereas people said the products they had been using for a long time had changed and were not as good. I have worn foundation with all these "questionable" things in them for over 40 years without any problems. I know many people my age and they haven't had problems either. I wonder how much of a risk, it really is, to leave at least, some of these things in? Actually, I wish products would be made without sunscreens. Some cause break-outs in many people, including myself. This way, people can add the type of sunscreen themselves with another creamtype product. You can add them but cannot take them out. Just my opinion. Both of my favorites, so far, feel light when wearing which I also demand of these products. I will continue researching and testing these until I find the perfect one, or ones, for me. Other than the added scientifically proven ingredients manufacturers have added of late, aren't these tinted moisturizers the sheer foundations we have used all along but with a different name? Sorry so long! Thanks for letting me vent!

I have never used a tinted moisturizer. If I want light coverage I just mix my foundation with moisturizer.

Why does the Mary Kay moisturizer say it's $4.99 but on their website it's $18! What am I missing?

I had been looking for a good tinted moisturizer with SPF for months until I came upon this article. This article helped me to narrow down my choices and I chose the Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer with SPF to try first. I was a consultant for Mary Kay about 8 years ago, and I loved some of their products. For the price, this was my first choice, and so far so good! Check out the reviews!

I've been using the tinted moisturizers from Urban Decay and Smashbox and I'm very happy with them! I've also tried the Laura Mercier one mentioned which I really enjoyed.. haven't tried any other ones. I'd really love to try the Boot's N7 that made it on the list

I have been thinking of trying a tinted moisturizer for summer and skipping on any foundation. I was thinking about getting a Bobby Brown, but now im starting to consider the Becca Luminous Skin Colour. I cant wait to try it out!

Covergirl's tinted moisturizer used to be great, and they changed the formula. SO sad!

I love anything body shop! I've been searching for the best moisturizer for a while, since most of them make me break out, i'll definitely check all of these out

yourebel from benefit is amazing! too bad its not on this list.

by kenya Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 10:49PM Report as inappropriate

I like the Definity one listed, and also Mark's Get a Tint, but the best one I've tried is Patricia Wexler $28. Fab! Around the same price as the Olay, and has her anti aging formula in it. I got mine on sale at BBW but would easily pay regular price for it again.
