Who doesn’t want that ‘no-makeup’ makeup look? But let’s be honest, even going ‘natural’ requires at least a few steps, and wearing foundation for every function this wedding season is a hassle. Especially if it’s a morning function.

But how about an alternative that gives you that same flawless base and feels like nothing on your skin? Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?

Let us introduce you to tinted moisturises:

What is a tinted moisturiser?

We love hybrid beauty products that effortlessly combine skincare with makeup. One such well-loved hybrid product is the tinted moisturiser.

As the name suggests, this is a moisturiser infused with slight skin tints for that sheer coverage Tinted moisturisers hydrate your skin and hide slight blemishes for a natural look. Now you know how those models achieve that flawless ‘no makeup’ look.

How to get that dewy skin with your tinted moisturiser?

You don’t have to go through multiple steps to get that natural-looking glow anymore. Here’s a quick tip.

Mix a drop or two of a liquid highlighter/facial oil into your tinted moisturiser before applying it. This will give your skin that subtle shine without looking too shimmery. With a perfect-looking natural base and some lip and cheek tint, you’ll be all set to tackle the day.

Are BB creams and tinted moisturisers the same?

While both hybrid products provide similar benefits, the answer is no. BB creams are light makeup products that also offer skincare benefits like sun protection and skin firming along with light coverage to hide blemishes.

A tinted moisturiser, on the other hand, is mainly a skincare product with a slight skin tint for sheer coverage. Their formulations are also lighter than BB creams and their main purpose is to hydrate your skin.

What skin types can use a tinted moisturiser?

They are best suited for people with dry skin who are just looking to even out their skin tone. Since they provide sheer coverage, tinted moisturisers are not ideal for someone with hyperpigmentation, as they won’t to cover it up completely.

However, if you’ve applied it and want more coverage for your blemishes, you can spot conceal them for a more natural look.
