BEST FOR STAY-ALL-DAY POWER

Hybrid Skin Tint, £18.99 | KIKO Milano

Silky and fresh, this Kiko tint melts into the skin like a dream thanks to added vitamin E. The easy-to-blend formula delivers a flattering wash of colour and – crucially – stays put for hours. Apply as you would a normal moisturiser or use a buffing brush to ensure a seamless, even finish. 

Available at LOOKFANTASTIC.COM


BEST FOR EXTRA COVERAGE

CC Color Correcting Cream SPF20, £14.90 | Lumene

Finish beauty brand Lumene is criminally underrated and this correcting cream is powered by antioxidant-rich lingonberry. The skincare-make-up hybrid formula gives a decent level of coverage – more so than you’d expect from a traditional CC – and hits the perfect sweet spot, covering mild redness and pigmentation while also making your skin appear more uniform. 

Available at SEPHORA.CO.UK

BEST FOR ALL-DAY HYDRATION

True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum, £11.99 (Was £14.99) | L'Oréal Paris

If your skin is crying out for moisture, this L’Oréal Paris formula is one to have on your radar. Full of hyaluronic acid, it has a fluid, serum-like consistency and works to smooth over any tell-tale dehydration lines, giving your skin a plump, bouncy quality. This is such a handy option if you’re after a buildable base that still feels breathable.

BEST FOR A SOFT, SUPPLE FEEL

Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint SPF30, £10 (Was £13.99) | NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP

We love NYX’s silky Buttermelt Blushes, and this skin tint from the same line is another winner. Formulated with mango butter, shea butter and niacinamide, it feels ultra-nourishing on the skin – a no-brainer if you’re on the drier side.  Feather-light and fresh, it sinks in quickly without any grease, giving you a sheer, forgiving veil of colour. 

Available at BOOTS.COM


BEST FOR ADDED SUN PROTECTION

Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF50, £18 | E.L.F

E.l.f.’s Halo Glow is new to the category but it’s wasted no time in impressing us. Powered by a cocktail of skin-friendly ingredients including niacinamide, bisabol and allantoin, this deeply hydrates, giving you a healthy-looking dewiness. It’s water-resistant and even contains SPF 50 – meaning it’s a solid choice for your holiday make-up bag. Available in 18 shades, you’re sure to find your perfect match.

BEST FOR OIL CONTROL

Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen SPF30, £13.60 (was £17) | Beauty Of Joseon

Beauty Of Joseon’s hype-worthy SPFs are brilliant but its tinted version isn’t to be missed either. If you’re oil-prone and wanting to avoid overloading your skin with product, this ticks all the boxes. Note that the coverage is extremely sheer – it’s not a substitute for a light-coverage foundation, but it’s an easy, fresh alternative to going totally bare-faced. Plus, the shine-control formula goes a long way in a heatwave.
