Shine-free SPF? Take all our money. Infused with oil-absorbing powders, this Laura Mercier tinted SPF keeps our complexion matte for hours without ever drying out the skin. It also contains Vitamin E and Liquorice root to hydrate and soothe - that’s hot. With added SPF 30, this formula is a firm fave for everyday wear. Plus, it has buildable coverage to take us effortlessly from beach to bar. Top tip? Use a deeper shade as a liquid contour to get all the bronze, minus the burn.

Tried and tested: “Amazing tinted moisturiser. This is one of the best tinted moisturisers. It gives good coverage but without the thickness of foundation. I have used it for a few years now.” - Customer Review

We’re following the philosophy of more beauty, less makeup. This tinted face cream with SPF has a true-to-you sheer coverage that lets your freckles, moles, and natural beauty shine through. Enriched with hydration heroes like Cactus flower, Vitamins B5, C, D, and E, we love how this Bobbi Brown tinted moisturiser nourishes from day to night. Feeling like nothing but doing the absolute most, this skin tint also protects against UVA and UVB rays up to SPF 15. We’ve never seen a sunscreen this smooth. 

Tried and tested: “Thought I'd give this a go and I'm very pleased! It's not as dewy as the Tinted Moisturiser, but it's plenty hydrating and comfortable on the skin. It sinks in and leaves pigment behind. The coverage is fantastic for such a light product. I have bad rosacea but don't want to wear a full-coverage foundation (I wear the Bobbi Brown Serum Foundation) every day - this is the perfect middle ground! Makes my skin look more even, luminous and hydrated right through to the evening. Love it!” - Customer Review

The number one moisturising tint in the UK for a reason, see your skin in its best light with NARS tinted SPF. With sheer, buildable coverage and an illuminating finish, apply in the morning and you’ll be good to glow all day long. Filled with Vitamin C, French Polynesian Kopara, and SPF 30 protection, we’re forecasting your brightest days ahead with this formula. Warning: it might make you forego foundation forever. 

Tried and tested: “I have heard so many good reviews about this product so I decided to give it a try. NARS tinted moisturiser is pretty perfect. The texture resembles the cleansing milk but with some tint which at first looks pretty pigmented but blends in easily (even with fingers) and not only leaves your skin with a healthy glow but also moisturised and protected against UV lights. What else do you need?” - Customer Review

As the name suggests, Ultra Violette are making our tinted SPF daydreams a reality. Delivering a natural finish with the high protection of SPF 50, our complexion is rivalling the sun’s radiance. Oil-free, silicon-free, and alcohol-free, you can be sure this SPF is sensitive skin safe. Formulated with Rice Bran Wax and Pentavitin to hydrate and smooth, it raises the bar for the best protection and the brightest glow. 

Tried and tested: “With the first swipe applying my dream screen in V4 my jaw dropped. Not only was it silky smooth to apply, it made my complexion even and it was virtually undetectable. Usually BB creams, tinted moisturiser and liquid or powder foundation are visible on my skin, picking up rough patches or enlarging pores and even the fine hair on my face. I actually couldn't help but smile after applying and sigh with relief that I found something that not only works for my skin but looks freaking amazing. Feels like a dream on the skin.” - Customer Review

Tried and tested: “Game changer. I work outside in the heat and I needed something that wouldn’t sweat off, but also had a little coverage and sun protection. This product has changed everything and I actually prefer it over the foundation that I was wearing.” - Customer Review
