A classic-formula foundation is great to create sophisticated makeup looks, but during summer months you want to give your skin some rest and apply something lighter. Tinted moisturizers are more hydrating and more shimmering than your usual foundation: they are great for a more casual makeup look, the one you’d be wearing with your favorite jeans and T-shirt. Tinted moisturizers is are easier to work with because they are sheer, have a lightweight texture and – most of the times – offer good SPF protection.
How to Apply Tinted Moisturizers: Hydrate & Cover
Flawless-looking skin can be yours by following a few simple steps. Before applying a tinted moisturizer, gently scrub and rinse your face, then let it air dry. Apply the moisturizer – if possible, one with SPF and nourishing vitamins C and E – into your skin while it’s still damp. Wait a few minutes to give the cream time to sink in thoroughly, then dot concealer starting at the eyes’ inner corners working outward. With your fingers, pat the dots blending them in. It’s best if you choose a product that is a bit lighter than your skin tone. Don’t forget to spot-cover any blemishes.
How to Apply Tinted Moisturizers Correctly
You can apply a tinted moisturizer with your fingers or using a makeup sponge. Start applying the tinted moisturizer on your forehead working your way towards the hairline. Next, move down your nose and outward both of your cheeks. Gently apply the moisturizer around your jawline and neck for a uniform color. If your skin usually gets oily after a few hours, you can also touch up with a bit of powder.
