If, like many of us, you may have started seeing the new make-up transformation that not only the beauty but the skincare community has also taken on. The no-makeup makeup look has left us wanting to achieve a classy but simplified glowing base that compliments every skin tone. Our skin experts are here to tell you that the wonder product for an effortless base is none other than a tinted moisturiser. Ideal for those days when just want our skin but better, a tinted moisturiser works wonders in showcasing the blend of where skincare meets beauty.
Glowing skin is all anyone is talking about and we don't blame them. There's something just so luxurious about a clean, glowy base that has us all hooked. Not sure where to start? Don't sweat it, we’ve got the perfect rundown of how to smash the ‘I woke up like this’ tinted moisturiser trend that’ll have you not only saving a lot of time but nailing a timeless look.
To start with, it's a good idea to have an idea of what exactly a tinted moisturiser is. Luckily,it's exactly as the name suggests - a moisturiser that has a skin tint element!
Often coming in a variety of options for the many different skin tones and types, tinted moisturisers have drifted in and out of fashion for several years. They are your best friend when it comes to quick and effortless makeup that gives a barely-there foundation finish. The added moisture element makes it any glow getters holy grail, enhancing the skin while providing a light coverage is the true measure of success when it comes to tinted moisturisers.
Named after colour correction cream this wonder product works great for people that suffer from redness or uneven skin tones as the pigments harmonise with your skin to blend seamlessly. Not as full coverage as a foundation, its feather light texture on the skin results in a, as the name implies, corrected complexion.
The sister product to our CC and tinted moisturiser, a bb cream is formerly known as a blemish balm. Centred around the correction and coverage of blemishes and blemish prone skin, it does all the work of a light coverage foundation without clogging pores and drying the skin where blemishes appear. For those who want a customisable finish, this is the one for you.
Now that we have established the basics, it's time to get into how to execute the ultimate natural makeup that’s got us all gripped. First and foremost, prep your skin however you wish, there are many varieties of products to use, what's important is that you are using those that you are comfortable with. From here, we can look at using a tinted moisturiser, of which there are many different kinds.
One of our ultimate favourites is the MZ Skin Tint & Protect Perfecting SPF 30, its lightweight formula glides onto the skin for the best finish. However, these tinted moisturisers do come in a few different forms, cc and bb creams work in a similar way just offering a variety of coverage options. A real versatile product that acts in the same way as a tinted moisturiser and often can be found in travel sizes, great for on the go!
What really sets this look apart is the minimal effort but maximum results combination that leaves the skin looking and feeling luxurious. To nail the barely-there makeup, suggest using it in combination with cream products and only setting where you are oiliest. This could be your T zone or just on the forehead, by strategically placing your power products, the glow is maintained and your makeup is still going to last throughout the day. Using your tinted cream as a base works wonders as its dewy consistency makes blending those cream bronzer and blush a dream. The application should be done with gentle pressure and can be achieved by using any beauty tool of your preference to create a fresh and illuminating look.
We hope you try out using a tinted moisture this January as those cold temperatures set in, any added hydration is a must for this time of year. Plus who doesn't love a quick and easy hack to achieve perfect skin with a single product!
