Ok, so, facts is facts it’s still puffy season. It’s rainy and cold in New York today and I put on a lightweight jacket today thinking, oh, they said 70 degrees. Yeah, but no..! It’s sort of brisk out and def not 70 anything. I would also, like to mention Simon Lian did a little fit check (if I’m honest his whole little video was giving dad vibes not “I’m a celeb” but, ya know, I loved on it!) today in his puffer and replied to my comment on Instagram about it. So, yeah, I’m some kind of famous in my head right now that my C-Drama crush replied back to me. Stop this insanity what will my boyfriend think. We better break it to him I’m leaving him for Simon. This is how parasocial relationships start (Simon, doesn’t know he’s my iPhone wallpaper let’s keep that between us ok?)! In all seriousness, I guess everyone around the world is just dealing with whatever weird weather thing we have going on at the moment.
But Summer is coming…! We’ll get there. Sooner or later! While we wait for the humid, hot days (that we’ll proceed to b*tch about because as a New Yorker we oh so love discussing the weather) let’s talk about skin tints! They’re everywhere lately aren’t they? And I’m here for it. I’m not a heavy duty foundation girl. A dot or two here and there does me just fine. I prefer tints, tinted moisturizers, and lightweight foundations. I just don’t want to go around applying a mound of foundation like Meredith Duxbury. Also, I don’t really need it. My skin is in good condition and the only real issue I have is it looks sort of dull and lackluster. A little coverage to brighten up and even my complexion out is all I need. For many, many years Josie Maran Argan Protect & Perfect was my go to for the Summer. It had SPF, a light, sheer peach tint, and it was just perfect for a little bit of coverage that gave my skin a natural yet polished look. It was perfect. They discontinued it sadly. But since that time many, many brands have being going very sheer and natural with their base product launches lately. It seems like Gen Z and Alpha are more about simple, natural looks and I don’t mind at a single bit as I get older.
We have tons to choose from at the moment but the two best skin tints I’ve tried recently would have to be…
First up we have a WINNER of a release from Make Up For Ever. I admit you’ve been off my radar a little bit lately, Make Up For Ever. But you’re back and badder than ever (bad in a good way, of course!)! Friends, let’s hear it Make Up For Ever Super Boost Lightweight Moisturizing Skin Tint with Hyaluronic and Polyglutamic Acids! I purchased this a few weeks ago and I am in love. Super duper lightweight, absorbs in a single flash (faster than Superman leaping talk buildings), and has JUST the right level of pigment to brighten, smooth, and even out skin tone. It looks beautiful, natural, yet still has the “I’m made up” look but in a natural way! Outstanding product. I’m very much in love with this one.
Next we have Milk Makeup Hydro Grip 12-Hour Hydrating Gel Skin Tint and she’s your girl if you have dry skin! Not only is this moisturizing but it’s a formula that goes to keep your skin feeling like it’s perfectly hydrated all day but not greasy or shiny. It does have that sort of initial tackiness the primer has which actually works in the user’s favor because it makes it last longer. Very natural looking on my skin as well not to mention it’s a formula that isn’t going to adhere to drier areas or breakdown around the sides of your nose in dry icky patches. It sticks to skin like glue. It’s also oddly pigmented for a tint. I mean, we’re not talking crazy levels of pigment but there’s enough coverage here you’ll feel like you’re look fresh and awake. This one is a winner as well!
I’ll review both soon but what are your fav tints? Simon was not harmed or stalked in the making of this post.
