Promising review: "I’m a huge fan of tinted moisturizers and skin tints in general and I was looking for one to my everyday use with an easy but buildable application and a formula with SPF so I could skip that step in my daily routine. This one was beyond my expectations! It’s a lightweight and provides a pretty good coverage that doesn’t feel heavy at all. The shade range is amazing. I have combination skin and it doesn’t cause me any breakouts. My skin feels natural but beautifully enhanced at the same time. The formula isn’t greasy but it provides the right amount of glow. It also SETS and lasts! Tower 28 doesn’t disappoint!!!" —Seamosluces

4. A Nars tinted moisturizer infused with vitamin C, offering a radiant boost and delivering that timeless, glazed-donut glow your skin craves.
Shade range: 16 shades (fair to deep)
SPF: 30
Promising review: "I absolutely adore this tinted moisturizer. I deal with a lot of blemishes and scarring, and this is perfect for the dewy look! It helps lessen the appearance of my acne and scarring while not completely covering it, which may sound weird because that’s usually the goal, but I like the character that it keeps. It doesn’t actively break me out which is fantastic because I have acne prone skin. It doesn’t feel heavy, and makes my skin look so much more radiant than it actually is! The one I bought about eight months ago is still mostly full which is totally awesome." —noehmeeruhnay

5. A top-selling BareMinerals hydrating gel cream that delivers the coveted dewy influencer glow without the heaviness of multiple layers on your skin.

8. An oil-free Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer praised by reviewers for delivering a flawless demi-matte finish and exceptional shine control, even for those with extremely oily skin.
Shade range: 20 shades (fair to deep)
SPF: 20
Promising review: "This tinted moisturizer does everything I’ve never expected from it. It’s oil free and I have dry skin and it’s perfect. It goes on differently than foundation and then it dries to a beautiful luminous coverage but not overly shiny and it doesn’t settle in my laugh lines. It’s perfect for summer and I’m hoping that by purchasing a different color for the fall and winter that it looks and feels just as good." —anonymous

9. An Urban Decay tinted hydrator offering medium coverage, striking the perfect balance between a moisturizer and foundation for those who prefer more than sheer coverage but still crave a skincare-like feel.
Shade range: 12 shades (fair to deep)
SPF: N/A
Promising review: "I have pretty oily skin so I was hesitant to buy it just judging by the name but honestly I love it so much! Just pat on some powder to cover the shine and as the day goes on it'll still look pretty good. There is a bit of shine but it's more of a glowy, dewy effect rather than greasy. I no longer wear foundation unless it's for a special occasion and I now ONLY wear this product whether it's going out or going to work. I also love that it's not full coverage and super lightweight. It's almost like your skin but better. I would highly recommend for my oily peeps!" —Eve

10. An award-winning Ami Colé skin enhancing tint designed to enhance the undertones of melanin-rich skin, available in six medium to deep shades that deliver a flawless, blurred finish. ✨
Shade range: 12 shades (medium to deep)
SPF: N/A
Ami Colé is a Black woman-owned small business based in Harlem, NY that makes clean makeup for melanin-rich skin.
Promising review: "I don’t typically wear makeup but when I do it’s always a little bit of tinted moisturizer and transparent powder to finish off my look. I don’t like the heaviness of foundation and appreciate the light/natural feeling of a tinted moisturizer so I’ve pretty much experimented with all the different tinted moisturizers out on the market and I can easily say AMI COLE IS IT!!! I genuinely don’t think anything comes close to this formula that really feels like my skin!!! I don’t feel it on, it’s lightweight, natural and feels so hydrating. I’ve got tons of compliments about my skin glowing, and people often wonder if I have something on and that’s with two to three pumps across my face. If you need more coverage you can add on as described on the packaging, but I like a minimal natural look. The packaging is stunning in a beautiful bright orange box and the customer service is exceptional! The shade range is amazing even for nonBlack girls, but I’ve definitely recommended this to all my melanin-rich queens who have struggled to find brands that can accommodate their skin tones. Thank you for making a beautiful product I can always rely on, excited to see what more you have in store!" —Meriam J.

Shade range: 9 shades (fair to medium-deep)
SPF: 30
Promising review: "I am extremely picky when it comes to skincare/makeup because I have sensitive, combination, and very acne prone skin. I also do not like when makeup creases, fades, or is high maintenance to apply. This literally checks every single box of what I look for in a tinted moisturizer. The biggest thing is it does NOT break me out. Whatsoever! The coverage is light to medium so on good skin days this could pass as a foundation for me. If I have significant redness doing on I do touch up with concealer but overall, it's really natural on!" —H

It evens out my skin tone and helps my skin look amazing. I just ordered my second tube from Saie directly and found that it came quickly in cute, recycled packaging. They even included organic cotton balls as the cushioning for the product. Brilliant! I know this will become a make up staple for me." —Kelley S.

Promising review: "I hope this product is around forever because after trying it, I refuse to use or even look at anything else. It's PERFECT for days when I want light coverage (which is almost every time I wear makeup). For a long time I could never find a tinted moisturizer light enough for me and I had basically given up hope but this shade range came to the rescue! I love it so much." —Jamie

17. A TikTok-famous Ilia skin tint that’s essentially a luxurious skin serum with light coverage — plus SPF 40, thanks to zinc oxide, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
Shade range: 30 shades (fair to deep)
SPF: 40
Promising review: "I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin with pitted scars and hyperpigmentation, and I haven’t had much luck with chemical sunscreens. I can’t thank ILIA Beauty enough for having the vision to release a product like this. I don’t know of any other tinted mineral sunscreens (1) with enough pigment to completely hide the white cast you tend to get with mineral sunscreens or (2) with a wide enough shade range where you can match both your shade and your undertone. That’s epic! I also don’t know of many foundations with SPF that have a rating higher than SPF 30. It blends in like a dream (best when applied with fingers). It does have a sort of herbal, 'Whole Foods' smell that reminds me raw shea butter — it’s a fragrance-free formula, so I think it’s just the combined scent of all the ingredients that make up the product. I personally find the smell nostalgic, but if that’s not something you like, it does dissipate after you blend it in. This is an awesome 'your skin but better,' 'no-makeup makeup' foundation that also protects your skin. I absolutely love it!" —Colette H.
"This is the product I’ve been looking for for the past five years. I am in my 40s and my skin has started to change for the worse! It started respond really badly to foundation. I was looking for a product that would cover my imperfections but also give my face the skincare it needed at the same time while not looking like I had makeup on and looking natural. It’s PERFECT! Even without primer!" —Robyn

Promising review: "This Bobbi Brown Nude Tinted Moisturizer applies easily onto my skin and can be applied with hands or any good foundation brush. It blends like butter, it's lightweight and leaves me with a natural, flawless, dewy finish. I was hesitant that it would clog my pores as I have oily skin but that wasn't the case, I have compliments anytime I wear it. People compliment that my skin looks healthy and glowy, an added bonus is that it has SPF15. Love love this light-coverage makeup, it's great for someone who doesn't like full coverage and prefers a natural no makeup look. Highly recommend!!" —Sharon Member
