Tinted moisturiser recommendations?

[plum1304]

Hi all, can anyone recommend a great tinted moisturiser please? I have fairly normal skin and don't need massive of coverage ... at the moment!

Thank you

Of all those I've tried the cheapest, Nivea, suits my skin best. I get a lot of compliments about my skin which I think is partially down to the Nivea tinted day cream.

Most of the ones I have tried have too much coverage and nothing I have tried has as light a coverage as the Boots no 7 Intelligent Colour foundation. It is really light and doesn't feel like a foundation.

I like Dior skin bb cream. I don’t really bother with foundation anymore now that I’ve discovered it!

Chantecaille Just Skin.

Nivea tinted moisturiser here

Origins energy boosting moisturiser with mangosteen, they'll do a free tester at the Origins counter. Best tinted moisturiser ever, adjusts to your skin tone, the holy grail of tinted moisturisers!!

I couldn't find one that perfectly matched my skin tone and didn't oxidise. I also had trouble finding one that was moisturizing enough without looking greasy.

So now I mix my favourite SPF moisturiser with a blob of my favourite foundation in my palm and voila, a lighter version of my normal makeup, without having to buy a 3rd product.

Another vote for Laura Mercier!

Another vote for Nars. Absolutely fantastic! Not too drying, not too oily with great coverage.

Are any of these good for pale skin? I am using garnier BB cream but I had to buy it off amazon in “extra light” because the light one made me orange!

I use the Garnier Skin Active BB cream with Blur. It is the only product I have re purchased when it ran out.

Nars, when I put it on I look like me - just slightly less knackered.

Another vote for bare minerals complexion rescue, can be a bit too dewy when first applied but then settled down and is lovely.

Another vote for Nars which is lovely. I wear Ivory in most foundations and use Terre Nueve in the Nars. Get it on ASOS and you can return it if you don't like it!

Really Elspeth? Do they do that for all makeup? That’s brilliant. Have wasted a fortune in make up mistakes over the years.

YES!

I returned a V expensive Illamasqua foundation after using it 3 times! (It was plasticky muck)

Ooh thank you. That’s a brilliant tip.

Just read the fine print in case they've changed it since then! That was a couple of years ago.

Wow so many recommendations - thank you! Will go to space nk this afternoon for a play!

Yeh yeh will do. Don’t worry I won’t come after you with invoices for rubbish makeup Elspeth

I use PHB BB cream as I like the fact it has natural ingredients. I buy from the ecobeauty website but am sure you can get it elsewhere.

My 40+ skin has never looked as good, the coverage is light and it blends in well to make my skin look bright and refreshed.

I use Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Gel, it comes in different colours., and it's fab :) if you order from qvc, you have a 30 days money back guarantee, so you can send it back if you don't like it. (only pay for postage)

I would like to try some of these recommendations, but would prefer to go into an actual shop rather than buy and send back umpteen times. Can anyone say which shops sell what please?

I get my Laura Mercier from Space NK, House of Fraser or JL.

Tip - ask if they will allow you to take away a little sample when you buy a new foundation. So you’ve paid for the product, but ask them to give you a sample of the same shade in a little pot. Then when you get home, use the sample and decide if you are 100% happy with it. If not, you can exchange your unopened paid product. I did this with the Nars Sheer Glow from Space NK and I’m so glad that I did as it was shite after a couple of hours wear.
