Tinted moisturisers are a popular skincare and makeup product, allowing people to look and feel their best while caring for their skin. As the name implies, these are moisturisers that, unlike most, are tinted to provide light coverage for a natural, radiant look.
Taking care of your skin is an essential part of self-care. So, this moisturiser offers NZ makeup enthusiasts a great way to protect themselves while looking stunning. But, just like with concealer and foundation, you’ll want to find a moisturiser with the right tint for your skin tone for an effortlessly natural look.
What Is Tinted Moisturiser?
This moisturiser is tinted to act similarly to concealer or foundation, but it has the added benefits of hydration and SPF protection from the sun. It’s lighter than traditional foundation, so it’s ideal for everyday use and for those who prefer lighter makeup looks rather than full faces of makeup every day.
What separates this moisturiser from traditional foundations?
-
Coverage Levels. Foundations are generally more pigmented and bolder than tinted moisturisers.
-
Skincare Benefits. Tinted moisturisers have the benefits of normal moisturisers. So, they offer hydration to keep your skin healthy and moisturised and sun protection to protect your face from UV rays.
-
Colour Range. Because foundations are bolder, they’re generally available in far more colours than moisturisers. Moisturisers, on the other hand, have a lighter colour, so their appearance is more flexible when applied to the skin.
How To Choose The Right Shade Of Tinted Moisturiser
How do you choose your shade? This can be a tricky question to solve as skin tones vary so much. Try to avoid these mistakes when choosing your colour:
-
Choosing A Shade Based On Packaging Colour Or In-Bottle Appearance. Just because the colour on the bottle looks close to your skin tone doesn’t mean that’s how it’ll look once applied.
-
Ignoring Undertones. Ignoring the undertones of your skin can lead to mismatched results.
-
Forgetting To Blend The Neck And Hairline. Be sure to properly blend your moisturiser, as you would with standard foundations or concealers.
The process of choosing the right shade of tinted moisturiser is similar to choosing your shade for foundations and concealers.
Understand Your Skin Tone. The most important step in choosing your shade is understanding your skin tone. There are three main undertones:
-
Warm. Warm skin has a golden, yellow or peachy look. This kind of skin has blue veins with a green tint.
-
Cool. Cool skin has undertones of pink, red and blue. This type has blue veins with a purple tint.
-
Neutral. Neutral skin has a mix of warm and cool undertones, being a combination of both warm and cool.
Knowing your specific skin tone will also help you choose the right foundations, concealers and other kinds of makeup and accessories, so determining your skin tone now can greatly help you down the track.
Test Your Products. You can purchase multiple shades to try them out in person, helping you to truly see what you like the best. Make sure you test your product on your jawline or neck, not on your hand, as your skin colour may vary from your face and other parts of your body. Additionally, look at the product in natural lighting as well as artificial light sources so you can properly see how it looks.
Check The Product Ingredients And Benefits. Always check what your moisturiser or other makeup products are made of before you purchase and try them - this is especially important if you have sensitive skin or have allergies. Look for products made with soothing materials, like lightweight minerals, to avoid negative reactions and improve your results.
Additionally, you can check if the product is cruelty-free and aligns with your moral standards and lifestyle. This way, you can look and feel amazing when you use your new moisturiser.
SPF 15 is a good level for tinted moisturiser and offers sun protection for a few hours. If you’re going to be out for a while, you may want to reapply your sunscreen regularly to stay safe.
