Our best kept beauty secret? Use Glossier Skin Tint for a tint of you. Lightweight and skin-perfecting, this helps to minimise the appearance of pores, leaving skin smooth and natural-looking with a dewy finish. Even out skin tone using the breathable, ultrathin liquid formula that can be used as an everyday base. And we can’t get enough of this tint’s ingredients: Glycerin helps skin attract and retain moisture, while Diamond Powder creates a brightening, soft blur effect. It’s excellence in a bottle.  

Tried and tested: “I've used this for a few years and love it. I have acne scars, larger sebaceous filaments, and some redness but I love this product. It is very sheer coverage but I've found if you're in a rush and need a wash of even colour it's a great choice. The effect is natural and glowy and feels very moisturising. It’s a tint so you can wear it alone and still look like yourself but if you need a little bronzer and concealer it all pairs well. I wear it at my intense service job and use setting spray and it stays all day.” - Customer Review

Need help blurring your skin texture while providing a subtle and healthy glow? We’ve got you. Or should we say Fenty Skin Tint has. Thanks to Rihanna, the blur is real. Eaze Drop is a flexible, easy-to-apply skin tint that instantly evens out your skin. Coming in 25 adaptable shades, there’s options for all to build with light-to-medium coverage. With HydraBlend Complex for a diffused effect, it’s perfect for a no-makeup makeup look. We reach for this whenever we want to feel effortlessly put together.

Tried and tested: “Great foundation for scarred skin! This product is awesome for combination textured skin. Most other foundations are either cakey or too dewy, but the Eaze Drops have an even application with a beauty blender over even the deepest icepick scars. The coverage is fairly light and the foundation itself is quite sheer, but I've found it to be very buildable.” - Customer Review

Enhance your skin without ever hiding its signature. Meet YSL Beauty’s NU Bare Look Tint, part of their skincare-makeup hybrid range. Made with a 90% skincare base formula, this can be used as a good tinted moisturiser or buildable, lightweight foundation. Its creamy water-gel texture achieves a fresh and dewy complexion for up to 12 hours. Suitable for sensitive skin, reveal instant results for skin that looks brighter and more even, while feeling comfortably moisturised with a healthy glow.  

Tried and tested: “Perfect for a flawless daytime look. Love this, I was looking for something lighter for daily wear. Love that this gives a flawless finish without looking too heavy. Perfect! YSL makes beautiful foundations and this lighter version is no exception! I do need to use a bit of concealer for problem areas of discolouration as the coverage is light, as you’d expect with this kind of product, but the finish is gorgeous and looks more natural than foundation.” - Customer Review
