The summer heat is any foundation's worst nightmare, with the mix of sweat and makeup quickly becoming recipe for clogged pores and breakouts. However, I have a simple solution for you: swap out a heavier coverage base for a light tinted moisturizer to achieve more of a "clean girl" makeup look — and to give your skin a break. Here are 8 tinted moisturizers to help you embrace effortless, natural beauty this summer!
Fenty Beauty
Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint
This flawless Fenty Beauty tinted moisturizer is one of my personal favorites. This skin tint has a light to medium coverage, but it's long lasting with a natural finish. Any liquid based tinted moisturizer, like this one, blends perfectly with any other makeup on your face. It also comes in 25 shades, so you'll absolutely find the right match for your skin tone! Add this to your makeup routine for $36.
Saie
Saie Slip Tint
This tint was the 2021 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner for a reason. Saie Slip Tint includes so many ingredients that will promote skin health while giving you the coverage you are looking for. This tinted moisturizer has non toxic zinc SPF 35 (AKA a mineral sunscreen) in it, and filled with hydrating ingredients for a dewey look. Saie prides themselves on their environmental commitment, so you can be sure that this product is clean and conscientious. Get yours for just $36.
Laura Mercier
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer Natural Skin Illuminator
Not only is this moisturizer tinted, but it's also a skin illuminator for a glowy look. It was made to enhance your natural glow, and boost your skin's hydration. This light coverage product contains SPF 25 to protect your skin from the summer sun. Get this Laura Mercier best-seller for $54!
Rare Beauty
Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer
Selena Gomez really hit the mark with this Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer. Don't get me wrong, I love all Rare Beauty products, but this tinted moisturizer is all about promoting your existing beauty instead of covering it up! This product is completely vegan and chemical free. It does the job of protecting your skin with SPF 20, without the greasy or heavy feel of sunscreen. This $30 moisturizer is weightless but blurs out any skin imperfections you want gone!
Glossier
