Tinted moisturizers have a more lightweight feel than foundations, so they\u2019re usually comfortable and won\u2019t crease throughout the day. Regardless of age, they\u2019re the perfect addition to both your makeup and skin-care routines if you prefer lighter, barely-there coverage and don\u2019t even want to think about applying primer.<\/p>\n
While the best moisturizer for your skin will depend on your baseline skin type and individual concerns, some qualities matter more than others when you\u2019re in your 40s and beyond. \u201cI generally choose tinted sunscreens with easy-to-blend textures and buildable coverage for mature skin,\u201d says New York City-based makeup artist Suzy Gerstein. This way, there is ample coverage to conceal, say, dark spots, but the blendable textures keep the makeup from settling into fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n
According to Scibelli, tinted moisturizers tend to have a sheerer tint and texture than BB creams, a.k.a. beauty balms. \u201cTinted moisturizers typically feature a sheer blend of a hydrating cream with a tint of complexion coverage, and depending on the product, some offer SPF,\u201d he explains. The name of this category simply says it all: they\u2019re just facial moisturizers with a tint.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, CC cream stands for a color-correcting cream containing pigments that neutralize discoloration like dark spots, whereas a tinted moisturizer doesn\u2019t necessarily color-correct. \u201cA CC cream will help address redness, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), sun spots, and uneven skin tone, while also containing moisturizing ingredients and oftentimes SPF,\u201d Scibelli adds. CC cream can also be just that\u2014a cream\u2014whereas tinted moisturizers tend to have a lighter texture.<\/p>\n
For the most natural finish, \u201cI like to warm my palms together and press them onto the face a couple of times,\u201d says Gerstein. \u201cThis helps melt the product into the skin so that it becomes one with it.\u201d Scibelli adds that you can use your opposite hand as a palette to grab and layer product if you’re not sure how much to apply. \u201cIf you have areas that may need additional coverage, you can go back in and layer a bit more of your tinted moisturizer onto those areas,\u201d he says. \u201cI like to use a brush with fluffier bristles so there’s no streaking and it goes on evenly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before reviewing any makeup, we ask questions about a number of factors: What ingredients are in it? Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge? Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
