Skin Tint Blurring Elixir Foundation

£27 | Kylie Cosmetics

Sapna Rao, fashion & beauty editor & broadcaster

“I used to be such a skin tint hater – turns out I just hadn’t found the right one for me. Now I have a handful that I reach for – from the Victoria Beckham x Augustinus Bader Foundation Drops and the Hourglass version to the Erborian CC Crème. But when it comes to the one that ticks the most boxes from price and quality to coverage, my winner is always the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint. It has a great shade range, a skincare-infused formula and a truly buildable finish which means it works on those days when I want just a little something – but it can also be built up for a day of filming too.”

Hydro Grip Gel Tint

£34 | MILK

Rhea Cartwright, beauty expert & SL contributor 

“Viral for a reason, Milk’s Hydro Grip Skin Tint has been my most-worn product of 2025. If you’re looking for a versatile tint that can give a whisper of coverage or be easily built up, this is it. Offering the perfect combination of glowy hydration plus serious staying power, I can almost guarantee you’ll get compliments when wearing this.”

BFF SPF 30 Cream Skin Perfector

£41 | Trinny London

Jenn George, beauty director 

Trinny London’s BFF Cream is the ultimate lazy-girl’s make-up product. Simply apply it all over your face and watch the grey-ish, SPF-filled cream turn into a light wash of glowy coverage (thanks to microencapsulated pigments hidden within it) that evens out your skin. It’s my favourite choice for weekends when I just want a little pick-me-up without full-on coverage. I’ve loved it for years, and I’ve encouraged many friends to use it too.”

Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick

£35 | Charlotte Tilbury

Orin Carlin, beauty writer

“For my everyday base, a glow-boosting skin tint and a robust, medium-coverage concealer is my ideal combination. Since Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint dropped, I’ve barely reached for anything else. It’s one of the most effective but simultaneously low-effort formulas out there – it really does all the hard work for you. Formulated with vitamin E and fatty acids, it has a beautiful, silky texture and just gives your skin that dreamy, lit-from-within finish. Simply swipe and blend – it takes about ten seconds to apply.”

Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

£49 | Hourglass

Florence Eyres, senior shopping editor 

“I don’t wear skin make-up very often, so when I do I look for a really lightweight, natural-looking formula and the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint is exactly that. I love how it gives coverage but doesn’t clog my skin. Plus, it has such a flattering, glowy finish.”

Skin Tint

£37 | Giorgio Armani Beauty

Alex Steinherr, beauty expert & SL contributor 

“I rely on the Armani Skin Tint because it behaves well even when my skin doesn’t. It glides on like nothing, smooths everything out without acting like a mask and somehow makes me look like I drink more water and sleep better than I actually do. Effortless, flattering and consistently dependable.”
