My skin has been extra dry this winter from working right next to my indoor heating unit, so I’ve been looking for a hydrating foundation that feels lightweight and won’t look cakey or flaky on my skin. This formula fits the bill. It melts into skin with ease and with just a few drops, it gives my complexion a filtered effect that makes it look more even and bright. I like to apply it with a damp beauty sponge (I spray mine with a hydrating face mist) for even more of a dewy glow.

A lightweight tinted moisturizer is a must-have for me in the winter when my skin gets shiny along my T-zone and dry around my cheeks and eye area. That’s why I was pumped to try the Skin Paradise formula, which has a combination of aloe vera and witch hazel to help keep skin moisturized while absorbing excess shine. When I tried it out, it did exactly this, and I found that I didn’t need to reapply powder every few hours like I normally do. Instead, my oily areas were matte and my dry areas looked hydrated — I looked dewy without feeling like a greaseball. I definitely would recommend this product to someone who prefers light-to-medium coverage and struggles with combination skin like I do.

I love to have glowy, dewy skin year-round, but right now my skin is on the drier side. My normal foundation has been separating around my nose and mouth, so I couldn't wait to try out this hydrating tinted moisturizer. The formula, which is infused with aloe vera, felt super hydrating on my skin and gave me a dewy sheen that lasted all day long. It feels super lightweight, but still provides just enough coverage to even out my skin tone. Personally, I find that using a beauty sponge to apply the tinted moisturizer gives the most second-skin effect, but massaging it in with my fingers works too. I’ll definitely be grabbing this product on days when my skin needs a little extra moisture.

When it comes to my face makeup, I’ve always preferred lightweight tinted moisturizers, which is why I was very excited when L’Oréal Paris launched a new formula at an affordable price point ($16.99). After trying it out, I’m excited to report that it’s my new go-to for everyday, no-makeup makeup. It’s lightweight, hydrating and comfortable to wear for hours at a time. I applied it using my hands (just like a regular moisturizer) and felt that this application method helped the formula seamlessly melt into the skin and offered a natural, dewy look where my beauty marks still peaked through. That being said, I found that when I do apply it with a brush, it’s very buildable so if you are looking for some extra coverage, it’s definitely possible. I 10/10 recommend this formula.

If you’re looking for an instant Instagram filter in a bottle, look no further than this tinted moisturizer. It melts into my skin and I feel comfortable wearing it all day. I’m also really big on taking care of my skin, so I love that it also has a broad spectrum SPF 19 sunscreen infused in the formula. What really blew me away is the coverage. I applied this tinted moisturizer with my fingers, and it instantly blurred my pores and covered my dark spots and acne scars with ease, leaving a glowy finish that looked so natural. Whether you’re making a quick trip to the grocery store, hopping on a last-minute Zoom call, or if you want a selfie-worthy natural look, I highly recommend adding this moisturizer to your makeup and skin-care routine.
