MILK MAKEUP Sunshine Skin Tint SPF 30 (Medium)

Product Information

While it's not a one-to-one swap for a full-coverage foundation, this formula still offers more pigment than its peers, making it ideal if you have more to conceal. You can tell the difference just in the texture, which is an airy cream that's easy to blend. It's also infused with pearlescent pigments, which give skin a soft-focus, radiant finish, as well as the brand's Hyaluronan Complex. The latter harnesses a form of hyaluronic acid that's able to plump deep lines and wrinkles, giving skin a smoother appearance almost instantly. And with the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance, you can trust that it’s safe for sensitive skin types, too. Your go-to coverage can also depend on how you plan to use it. Tiller prefers medium coverage so she can thin it out or layer it depending on her goal. This way, “I have more control over the coverage, and it can be versatile,” she says.

What We Don’t Love: It only has SPF 15, so you’ll definitely need to supplement this with a sunscreen that offers a higher SPF. Since skin tints are inherently lightweight (or supposed to be), their texture doesn’t vary too much. You’ll either find cream-like formulas or those with the slip and fast-absorbing properties of face serum. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’; The next best thing to bare skin? This skin tint, which not only delivers up to medium coverage (depending on how much you apply), but can also keep skin hydrated for up to 24 hours. That's because it's built like a moisturizer, with two powerful humectants, glycerin and hyaluronic acid, that help attract and trap moisture within skin. It also gives skin a bright, dewy finish that doesn't highlight any texture on your skin. With 20 shades to choose from, you'll have an easier time color-matching than you would with other options.This skin tint uses a blend of botanical face oils (like grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, and mandarin oils) to moisturize skin while you wear it, which is a win-win in our book. It gets other skincare advantages from barrier-fortifying squalane and broad-spectrum SPF 30 — all while being free of silicones and, magically, non-comedogenic, which is ideal for the acne-prone among us. Once the temps start heating up, switching up your makeup routine to match it is key. Swap out your full-coverage foundation for one of the best skin tints or serum foundations to give your skin a breather (and maybe some added sun protection too). In the past two years, no-makeup-makeup, which emphasizes Zoom-friendly, skin-first makeup routines, has broken into the beauty zeitgeist. With that comes low-maintenance, dewy serum-like foundations and tints. We love these innovative products because they feature lightweight formulas and skin-loving ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid—without sacrificing coverage. But what is a skin tint, I hear you ask? Way more lightweight than your classic foundation, a skin tint is exactly what you'd expect: a low-maintenance, barely there hint of colour and coverage that evens out skin tone but lets your natural complexion shine through. If, like me, you're used to applying base products as a way of covering up breakouts or redness, then here's a word of warning: skin tints do no such thing. But there's been something thrilling about embracing skin tints as a way to show off the bits of my skin that I do like rather than thinking of makeup as a means to camouflage. And make no mistake—the best skin tints really do leave your complexion looking great, spots and all! There are two ways to apply skin tint: With your brush or with your fingers. The difference in application depends on how much coverage you’re looking for. If you’re looking for no-makeup makeup, the warmth of your fingers will go a long way. “I always use my fingers because I want to really blend the product into my skin for a very seamless, second-skin look,” says Tiller. Just massage it in the same way you would a face serum or oil.

When you’re looking for skin tints, keep your skin type in mind. Dry skin? Look for formulas with added oils like avocado oil and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, non-comedogenic options are best, because they won’t clog your pores. You might also want added clearing ingredients like niacinamide. Choosing a lightweight skin tint that has added SPF (30+, please!) is also an excellent idea for the spring and summer months.

There’s one big downside with this formula, though — the range of shades is far from inclusive, dropping off at a medium-deep hue. While the sheerness of skin tints makes them more forgiving with color-matching, it’s still a little disappointing, not to mention challenging for those with deeper skin. Let's start with the downsides: This delivers light coverage only, and even if you think you could build it to medium coverage, you'd be wrong. (However, you can layer it underneath foundation.) that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation;

Part of that magic is white sage extract, which can help nix the appearance of redness, making inflamed blemishes less visible at the source. Plus, "it's hydrating, has medium coverage, and has SPF — my musts," says celebrity makeup artist Andréa Tiller, whose clients include Ariana Debose and Olivia Palermo. "The color range is beautiful and it stays put all day." And many formulas now contain broad-spectrum sunscreen, making it “one less thing to think about,” says Tiller. Between the sun protection and the hydration, many skin tints can now replace multiple steps in your beauty routine, making them the ultimate one-and-done formula. What We Love: It’s one of the few skin tints to offer medium to full coverage without adding weight. Skin tints tend to range from sheer to medium coverage. While you can occasionally find formulas that offer more, they’re harder to find. Plus, they require a closer shade match since you’re concealing more of your natural skin tone, and that can be hard to find among skin tints, which generally have a more basic range.Coverage: The whole point of a skin tint is that it’s not a full-coverage foundation. Most formulas will deliver a sheer or lightweight coverage. “There’s a lot more flexibility with skin tints because they are so sheer,” says Soleimani. “Many brands have services that can help match your skin like Trinny London’s Match2Me which is an online quiz that finds the perfect shades.” However, if you do want something with a little extra, look for either a medium-coverage skin tint or one that is buildable so that you can easily tailor it to your needs. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

Prior to its UK launch, the brand reportedly amassed a 17,000-person waiting list – the largest in Cult Beauty's history – while a pop-up shop in London also received thousands of visitors. Skin tint: Again, the main attraction with these products is the minimal and even sheer coverage. They tend to have some skin-loving ingredients, whereas many heavier products, like foundation, don't. If you’re up for more coverage, however, consider sweeping it over skin using a dense, synthetic brush. That can be helpful if you’re adding additional layers, since you don’t run the risk of inadvertently lifting or disturbing your initial tint.Finish: In general, skin tints appeal to a range of skin types, but that doesn’t mean every product is going to work for you. If your skin is oily, you might consider steering clear of products that emphasize their dewy finish. Or if your skin is dry or prone to dry patches, matte might not be the best for you. So look for skin tints with finishes that won’t exacerbate existing issues or highlight unwanted ones.
