Function of Tinted Moisturizers

• Tinted moisturizers hydrate the skin and even the appearance of the skin tone. Because they are lightweight in texture, tinted moisturizers provide the most sheer coverage of any foundation makeup product.
  
  

Benefits of Using a Tinted Moisturizer

• Instead of using a moisturizer followed by a traditional foundation makeup, tinted moisturizers combine the two steps into one application. Additionally, some tinted moisturizers contain other skin-care ingredients, including sunscreen, retinol, and vitamins and minerals.
  
  

Types of Tinted Moisturizers

• Tinted moisturizers can vary extensively depending on the brand purchased. Some tinted moisturizers contain only the slightest bit of pigmentation while others have as much pigment as a traditional foundation makeup.
  
  Tinted moisturizers are also available in formulations for every skin type. Oil-free tinted moisturizers are best for those with oily or combination skin.
  
  

Applying Tinted Moisturizer

• Tinted moisturizers can be applied with clean fingertips, a makeup brush or a sponge. If using a foundation primer, it should be applied to the skin before application of the tinted moisturizer.
  
  

Fun Fact
