Rare Beauty Is Releasing A Tinted Moisturizer. Here's How It Compares To Our Faves.

We love tinted moisturizers because they smooth, they hydrate, and they blur, all without caking up our pores or weighing us down. Rare Beauty is launching their Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer on March 30th, and it got us thinking about our favorite skin tints.

In addition to helping us put our best face forward, most of these picks offer sun protection and feature skincare ingredients that pull double- or even triple-duty. Keep scrolling for 12 ideas for the next time you need to update your minimal makeup routine.
