Face help! Tinted moisturiser recommendations

[NewLockdownNewMe]

I’m currently in a baby + toddler phase in which merely brushing my hair every day is an achievement... I’d love a single facial product I can use to moisturise and give me an even skin tone. Something to feel a little more myself, even though preschool drop off is basically my only social interaction at the moment!

My skin is nothing extreme in any direction. Gets a little dry sometimes. Some redness more or less appeared on my 35th birthday and has hung around! I was previously in a good routine with a moisturiser, serum, eye cream nightly and pixi toner every couple of days, then using This Works camera close up as moisturiser/primer and Mac foundation.

I’ll confess to not really knowing the difference between BB/CC/tinted moisturisers... but would love any recommendations - budget of around £35 max. I have £25 boots points, so brownie points if I can use them!

Bobbi browns bb cream is good. Moisturises and has good coverage

GOSH BB cream is great, particularly if your skin is good underneath. I find it gives a better finish than much more expensive products, and I’m a big fan of spendy skincare.

NARS - simply no contest!

I love the Laura Mercier TM.

I really like Lily Lolo BB cream and it is not expensive at all (think about £13).

ps - for clarity the NARS product I'd recommend is NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser! Just realised you have a baby, so sure the less time you need to spend googling the better...

Bare minerals complexion rescue or if you want more coverage IT CC

Yes, the Nars one is great.

Definitely recommend the Nars tinted moisturiser. I'm in the toddler/school drop off stage too and Nars makes me look alive.

I love this

I’m in the same phase with baby plus toddler and have recently bought the Estée Lauder one @sunshinenrainbowz has recommended. I really like it so far!

Can I ask - is BB cream like a moisturiser and light foundation all in one? Looking for a 'once and done' product to brighten my skin up along with a bit of mascara for my WFH make-up routine!

Nars tinted moisturiser

I have just discovered NARS, it’s amazing!

Just be a bit careful with the NARS shades, I can’t imagine anyone Caucasian would suit any of the ‘medium’ shade options, I had to experiment a bit til I ended up with ‘alasaka’, the second lightest shade, and I’m fair/medium.

I love Origins Ginzing tinted moisturiser. It adjusts to your skin tone so you don’t need to find the right shade. I apply it onto my clean face, no serum or other moisturiser needed. It has spf 35 or 40. I sometimes use a primer underneath if I’m going out, to add a bit more coverage.
I tried Nars radiant touch, but struggled to get the right match. I didn’t like the creamy texture either. I passed it onto my DD (21) and she really likes it though.

Tinny London BFF cream is amazing. A moisturiser that adds a bit of colour and SPF - its been a game changer for me in the morning

@Coffeepot72 I can’t remember the shade but I found Nars was too yellow on my fairish skin tone.
There are some shade matching websites (Findation?) and also photos on Pinterest if Nars is what OP goes for.

DD uses Max Factor Second Skin. She finds it really easy to apply quickly which is handy as she’s always in a rush in the mornings.

I used Findation, and as I used boots no 7 foundation shade ‘cool beige’ it decided I should be ok with shade ‘St Moritz’ in NARS - which was totally wrong! That shade would probably work on Meghan Markle, but not on my average uk skin!

Your skin sounds like mine. I like Erborian BB creme. There’s normally a discount code if you google.

Clarins tinted moisturiser. If you go on their website you can get free samples (I think!).

Thanks all, I’ll look these up! I’ve used the Origins Ginzing before, I do like it as a product, but find it’s got a slightly yellow undertone which only suits me in the summer when I’ve got a bit of a tan.

NIVEA BB Cream Medium to Dark (50 ml) 5 in 1 Moisturiser Enriched with Provitamin B5, 24 Hour Effectiveness and SPF 15, Medium to Dark BB Cream https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0095IITUG/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_mwiPFbGR7S74F

By far the best I've used it's brilliant!
