I'll have what she's having

I love using tinted moisturizers for an everyday makeup look because they’re lightweight, hydrating, and even out my skin tone without feeling heavy. I still want a bit of coverage, but I want my skin to feel fresh, natural, and radiant.

There are countless options out there, but these are my top three—products I’ve used consistently and can fully recommend. I have normal to dry skin and prefer a dewy finish, so if that sounds like you, you’ll probably love these too!

Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

This one has quickly become my go-to. It’s lightweight, gives a natural glow without being overly dewy, and offers just enough coverage to blur imperfections while keeping the skin looking fresh. It blends seamlessly and gives that “glow from within” effect that I love.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply hydrates the skin, keeping it plump and smooth.
• Squalane – Mimics the skin’s natural oils, locking in moisture without feeling greasy.
• Meadowfoam Seed Oil – Helps balance hydration and gives the skin a soft, luminous finish.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint

This is like skincare and makeup in one. It provides hydration, coverage, and long-lasting moisture throughout the day. It evens out the skin tone with a beautiful dewy finish. If you have oily skin, this may not be your favorite, but you can always set certain areas with loose powder for a more balanced look. Bonus: It has SPF 40, so you get sun protection too!

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Niacinamide – Brightens skin, reduces redness, and helps minimize the appearance of pores.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Delivers deep hydration for a plump, dewy complexion.
• Squalane – Helps to maintain moisture levels and improve skin elasticity.
• Zinc Oxide (SPF 40) – Provides mineral-based sun protection without irritation.

Supergoop! Glowscreen

More than just a tinted moisturizer, this one acts as a sunscreen, primer, and glow-enhancer all in one. You can wear it alone for an even skin tone or use it as a primer under foundation for a luminous base. It’s ultra-hydrating and makes my skin look plump and radiant. The only thing to note is that it has a lot of glow—so I like to mattify my T-zone slightly to avoid looking too shiny.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Hyaluronic Acid – Boosts hydration and helps maintain a smooth skin texture.
• Niacinamide – Brightens and evens out skin tone while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• Sea Lavender – Offers antioxidant protection and helps combat environmental stressors.
• Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide – Provides broad-spectrum SPF protection to shield skin from UV damage.

Final Thoughts

These three tinted moisturizers are my tried-and-true favorites for hydrated, glowing skin. Whether you’re looking for skincare benefits, sun protection, or just an effortless, radiant finish, one of these will do the trick. If you love a dewy look, you’ll probably become as obsessed with them as I am!
