Skin tints?

27 replies

My skin is light and I am very cool-tone.
My skin is clear. It is still slightly oily.

Generally I use Rare Beauty or Hourglass tinted foundations, they are the best products I have found for my skin.
On the rare occasions I wear full foundation I use DoubleWear.

Lately I have seen a lot of light touch skin tints, they appeal to me because my skin doesn't need much, I don't need to conceal anything.
I want a pop of colour on my pale skin.

Particularly I have seen a lot of Jones Road Skin tint, Charlotte Tilbury Healthy Glow & Bobbi Brown skin tint.

Unfortunately any Charlotte Tilbury products tend to be orangey and pull warm.
Has anyone cool toned tried this and found they didn't look like a baked bean?

The Jones Road tints look good. The reviews say they are oily, which would make me look like an oil slick.
Has anyone had a different experience?

Bobbi Brown tints look more like a foundation.
Is it really a simple tint?

Does anyone have recommendations for a good skin tint?
Particularly for someone with my skin type?

Whoops.
Wasn't going to buy more, the Pixi H20 fell into my online basket @NormaNormalPants. And the Chantecaille tint @MoodEnhancer. And the Armani @dragonbreaths.
Still haven't checked out and I'm still looking 😬😂.

To anyone feeling that I am flaunting money; I was homeless for a time, I know and haven't forgotten, what it's like to be properly poor.
One of my relatives died in September, I was left some money.
We saved some for the DCs, booked two holidays, paid a little off of our mortgage, both credit cards husbands & mine. There was enough for us both to have some money to spend and we agreed to buy me an engagement ring as we couldn't afford one at the time.
This thread is not a boast, stealth or otherwise.
Wishing the best of fortune to those of you going through a hard time ♥️

No judgement at all - your money, spend it as you like. But I do suggest getting colour matched and using testers before buying!
