6 Tinted Moisturisers For Light, Buildable Coverage This Spring

With sunnier days approaching – hopefully – and more daylight activities like hikes, swims and beer gardens, some people tend to start wanting their makeup lighter.

With sweating from the heat leading to makeup sliding off, we sometimes need a lighter, more breathable option.

The fear with using less makeup is possibly not having as much coverage as we would like, which we get with a full base.

Fear not though because we have a list of good coverage and buildable tinted moisturisers you may want to have a go at for the warmer months.

Tower 28 Sunnydays Tinted Sunscreen – €41

We love to see a product designed for all, but especially those with acne prone or sensitive skin, and Tower 28 have provided. The product is non-comedogenic meaning it’s been specifically tested to ensure it does not clog pores.

It also is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide which is generally more soothing and less irritating for reactive skin than chemical UV filters. The prickly pear extract ingredient helps to repair the skin and the addition of aloe vera is used to calm redness and stress, which achieves a natural skin finish.

@ericanic0le Finally found a new tinted spf that contains zero pore clogging ingredients and doesn’t break me out 😍 It’s @tower28beauty’s SunnyDays SPF 30 and I will be using it every single day now because I’m way too obsessed with how healthy and glowy it makes my skin look !!! #porecloggingingredients #poreclogging #porecloggers #porecloggingmakeup #porecloggingskincare #nonporecloggingskincare #nonporeclogging #nonporecloggingmakeup #acnemakeup #acnesafemakeup #acnemakeupcoverage #acnemakeuproutine #acnemakeuptutorial #acne #acneskin #acneproneskin #acneskincare #tintedspf ♬ original sound – ERICA NICOLE

It Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm – €36

A new enough product released in January from It Cosmetics, a brand who have dominated the skin tint market for years. It’s a lightweight moisturiser with a 92% (yes 92%!) skincare base + collagen peptide fraction.

This product helps achieve bouncy skin while also hydrating and correcting uneven tones. The product feels comfortable and breathable throughout the day, which makes it ideal for warmer weather.

@cindyruzi UMM wow. A skin tint that looks & feels like a tint!!! I love this. @IT Cosmetics #skintint #glowymakeup #naturalmakeup #everydaymakeup #itcosmetics ♬ original sound – prfecti0n

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint – €40

Is this product the secret to dewy and hydrated skin? The reviews seem to think so. Formulated with advanced triluronic acid, niacinamide and aloe water, it creates a lightweight, non-comedogenic tint for lasting wear.

The tint also grips makeup to keep it in place and prevent creasing or fading, all while keeping the skin looking fresh and glowing all day and night.

@kay_caputo I literally took half my face off just so I could try this last night and it’s an absolute yes from me… the coverage is TOP NOTCH for a skin like finish #milk #hydrogrip #geltint #milkmakeup #skintint #new #makeup #launch ♬ original sound – Brooke 👩🏼‍🎤
