The Best Skin Tints 

YSL Beauty NU Bare Look Tint

If you struggle with dry or dehydrated skin, look for a formula that contains skincare ingredients — this one is loaded with them. It contains hyaluronic acid, glycerin and brightening mallow to hydrate and brighten the skin, leaving it feeling comfortable and looking naturally radiant.

Maybelline New York SuperStay 24H Skin Tint + Vitamin C

If you’re into skincare, you likely know about the brightening, skin-evening benefits of vitamin C. This tinted serum allows you to reap those same benefits while also enjoying a radiant, lightweight layer of coverage that resists sweat and fading throughout the day.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

People with oily skin often fear luminous base products, but they certainly don’t have to. This drugstore tinted serum is a great option for those with oily complexions because it contains mico-fine mineral pigments that give it a luminous finish, but the formula itself isn’t heavy or greasy looking as you wear it.

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator Foundation

It’s true that skin tints aren’t known for their long-wearing capabilities — they tend to fade gracefully throughout the day. But if you’re looking for a skin tint that will last all day and night, this is the one for you. It has buildable, medium coverage that blurs the appearance of pores for a smooth complexion that lasts for up to 24 hours.

IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation + Glow Serum with SPF 40

We can’t stress enough how important proper SPF protection is, which is why we love when makeup products are formulated with sunscreen. In addition to niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, this glowy skin tint contains SPF 40, making it the perfect go-to if you’re in a hurry (or you just like added sun protection). And not just that, but it feels weightless on the skin while creating a stunning, even complexion.

Caliray Freedreaming Skin Wellness Diffusing Tint

Skin tints are the no-makeup, makeup MVPs, and this one is perfect for the minimal aesthetic. The fluid formula can be blended onto the skin with your fingertips or desired application method in seconds, and it creates a sheer, blurring veil on the complexion that never feels heavy or overdone.

Huda Beauty GloWish Multidew Vegan Skin Tint Foundation

If you can’t get enough of the dewy skin look, this is the pick for you. It has a glowy, serum-like formula that contains damascus rose oil for added moisture and red bell pepper extract for digital pollution protection. The formula is sheer yet buildable, and it gives the skin a luminous glow that instantly brightens the complexion.

Beautyblender BOUNCE™ Always On Radiant Skin Tint

You don’t need to reach for a matte, full-coverage foundation if you’re looking to cover blemishes. This hydrating, light to medium coverage skin tint does an excellent job at neutralizing redness and camouflaging blemishes thanks to its buildable formula. To make the coverage work overtime, simply apply a second layer where needed and lightly set with powder.
