The Best Tinted Moisturisers For Glowy, Smooth Skin
For A Flawless Shade Match
Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, £49 | Hourglass
Sheer but pigmented, this is great for anyone who wants something between a foundation and tint. It has a soft, creamy finish that works on all skin types. Spanning 18 shades, the range is unrivalled – none of the colours veer into being too yellow or orange. We love the fluid consistency, which is easy to build up without turning cakey.

For Acne-Prone Skin
HydraTint Moisturising Tinted Serum, £24 | Sculpted By Aimee
Containing over 90% kind-to-skin ingredients, Sculpted By Aimee’s HydraTint is more like skincare than make-up – great if you find traditional foundations too heavy. It’s loaded with hyaluronic acid for lasting hydration, and fortified with centella asiatica water to soothe and strengthen, while the ceramides repair and support the skin’s natural barrier. The finish is subtly luminous.

For A Semi-Matte Glow
Skin Nova Complexion Balm £36 | Vieve
Loved by our group beauty director, this offers the coverage of a foundation but without any chalkiness. You only need a couple of tiny squeezes to cover your entire face, or simply target the areas that need it most. It smooths and dries down to a semi-matte finish that maintains just enough glow to look fresh and luminous. Ideal for those who want a little bit more coverage, the formula also contains polyglutamic acid – a key hydrator that’s four times more moisturising than hyaluronic acid.

For Breathable Coverage
Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, £39 | Lisa Eldridge Beauty
Lisa Eldridge is known for celebrating natural complexions, and her Skin Tint perfectly captures that ‘your skin but better’ look. It evens out skin tone, minimises shadows, and takes down redness for a refreshed, healthy look. A little really goes a long way; it also feels super lightweight and lets your natural skin shine through. While the finish isn’t as glowy as others on this list, it offers a more natural, satin-like look, making it ideal for everyday wear.

For Sensitive Skin
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30, £42 | Ilia Beauty
If you’re all about the ‘no make-up make-up’ look, Ilia’s skin tint will be your new best friend. With a fresh, serum-like consistency, it’s a great one if you lean towards lighter bases and a subtle, dewy finish. With built-in mineral SPF, the formula is gentle, fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. We also love the inclusion of nourishing squalane and shea butter. Give it a shake, then smooth it all over with your fingertips for evenness and comfort.

For A Healthy-Looking Finish
Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30/pa+++, £30 (was £40) | NARS Cosmetics
A favourite of our beauty writer, this is an award winner for a reason. Fresh and flattering, its classic formula breathes life back into your complexion – a godsend if you’re feeling a little flat. It’s beautiful on skin of all ages – sheer and wearable without being fussy. Simply apply it as you would a traditional moisturiser – you can get away with being quite slapdash.

For An Ultra-Dewy Effect
Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer, £31 | Saie
If your skin leans on the drier side, this is one to reach for. Full of hyaluronic acid and liquorice root extract, Saie’s Slip Tint works to brighten and hydrate, leaving you dewy and radiant. True to its name, the formula itself has a slippery consistency, so if you’re someone who craves that feeling of nourishment, we’re willing to bet this will become your new obsession.
