- Tinted moisturizers are the perfect multitasking beauty product that help even out your skin tone while providing extra hydration and SPF.
- Our top pick is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer with Broad Spectrum SPF because the award-winning product moisturizes and protects skin with SPF 20 while leaving you with a healthy, dewy finish. It comes in 15 shades, and there's an oil-free version too.
Who doesn't love a multitasking beauty product? Items that pull double duty not only save you money, but they also help make getting ready in the mornings a breeze.
Which is probably why we love tinted moisturizers so much. They're the perfect mix of makeup and skin care, giving you lightweight, buildable coverage with added SPF and hydration.
But while you may think every tinted moisturizer does the same thing, think again. Finding the right option for your skin tone and type can completely transform not only the look of your complexion, but it can also improve also your skin's health.
When they first hit stores, tinted moisturizers were a simple blend of foundation and moisturizer, but they're now made to target specific needs with ingredients that help improve skin texture or acne, or even color correct redness and boost brightness. SPF is a common feature in most formulas too, though we suggest layering a tinted moisturizer over your usual SPF (which we have a shopping guide for here).
With so many tinted moisturizers on the market, it can feel daunting to find the right one for your skin. So we've trawled through hundreds of expert and buyer reviews, and sifted through the empty bottles on our vanities to find the best tinted moisturizers that'll help you save time and money - and give you a healthy glow - all year round.
