5 Foundations & Tinted Moisturizers to Even out Skin Tone and Provide Glowing Skin

Like you, I have not been very social this past year. Nor, have I been too concerned about donning a face full of makeup. In fact, I have used my time at home to give my skin a much needed break. Typically, I only use a moisturizer with an SPF. However, there are still Zoom meetings, FaceTime calls, as well as the occasional dinner date. When an opportunity pops up to enjoy an evening outdoors socially these days, I get excited about doing my hair and putting on makeup. And for the record, I think my husband enjoys when I dress up too. A great foundation will work to even out your skin tone, hide redness, and give your skin an instant healthy and luminous glow.  Below I am sharing 5 Foundations & Tinted Moisturizers to even out your skin tone and provide glowing skin

Prep Your Skin

1. Know your skin type to decide which coverage will work best for you.
2. How you prep your skin makes a world of a difference in giving your skin a flawless look. Sticking with a good skin care routine is essential. Remember to let your moisturizer set a few minutes before applying your foundation. Read:>> At Home Facial Peels
3. Have you tried using a primer? Primers will give your skin a smooth canvas to help your foundation set. I use this primer by Charlotte Tilbury.
4. Next, I always apply concealer first. I love this concealer by RMS Beauty and not just for under my eyes. Sometimes, I need to address other areas of redness such as around my nose too. However, less is more. If you feel you have applied too much, dampen a beauty sponge and lightly sweep over your face. Now, I am ready to apply my foundation. Typically, I start with just using fingers and then use a flat foundation brush or sponge to smooth it over.

5 Foundations & Tinted Moisturizers to Even Out Your Skin Tone

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation has been my go-to for over ten years. It glides on nicely and gives your skin a subtle glow with a lightweight medium coverage. A little goes a long way which helps because it is a little pricey.

Although I trust that Giorgio Armani will never fail me, I decided in my spare time to research and try a few others out for fun. During this quest I found a few more foundation must haves that will also give you fabulous coverage.

YSL Touche Éclat All In One Glow Tinted Moisturizer with SPF I’m currently using this oil-free light coverage foundation and find that it is hydrating while evening out my skin for a radiant glow. It is made with hyaluronic acid, vitamin e, and antioxidants. Plus it has SPF too. I find that this nice soft coverage works well for either day time or warm and humid Florida evenings too. I wear color B 30.

RMS Beauty Un-Cover Up Cream Foundation – A tried and true clean beauty brand I definitely recommend. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of joining in on a zoom call with founder Rose Marie Swift. I learned that as a former makeup artist with health issues herself, Rose Marie wanted to create a line of cosmetic products that did not contain toxic ingredients. Their foundation is made with cold-centrifuged coconut oil. It is rich, creamy, and the payoff is dewy skin with no harmful ingredients.

Tinted Moisturizers

Tinted moisturizers act to give you lighter coverage with hydration and the bonus of sun protection. Though, they offer less coverage than a traditional foundation, they do still work to cover up redness and even out your skin tone. As for me, I like to keep both in rotation.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30 I have used this tinted moisturizer for several years in their St. Mortiz shade. It gives my skin light coverage with a nice radiant finish. It is also paraben and fragrance free. Great for normal to dry skin. If you are looking to achieve a smooth and fresh natural glow, then this one is for you.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 This highly rated award-winning tinted moisturizer has me curious. My daughter Brittany recently discovered it. It’s a triple threat working as a serum + light coverage + spf. It has hyaluronic acid to plump up skin, A few drops is all you need to give you glowing skin. It also uses a non-nano zinc oxide sun protection to shield your skin from harmful rays. If you are looking for a weightless sheer tint this one will give you a no fuss dewy look.

Lastly, I like to use this Charlotte Tilbury Highlighter in Medium to finish the look whether I am wearing a foundation or tinted moisturizer. It has so many uses, as I’ve been told you can also wear it alone to even out your skin tone.
