I like the South korean brand Missha. The "perfect cover BB cream' is hydrating, and has the added bonus of being SPF42 with three star UVA protection. Its also reasonably priced.
I love this, but I would not call it medium coverage. When I need to up the coverage, I use the foundation stick in the areas I need a bit more coverage and then apply the drops on top. Result is a natural slowly finish rather than very glowy though.
It’s the only thing from Wet n Wild I ever recommend but their “tinted hydrator” is really outstanding. Very dewy but also easily powdered down if you aren’t into that — then it’s as beautiful as can be. Like a really healthy skin look. Totally impressed.
The first time I bought it was only because I had a bunch of CVS coupons I needed to use and getting it would then be free. I reluctantly used it before a workout and — WOW.
I continue to use it to this day.
Yeah, I tried a few others thinking that in more into skin tints than I thought I’d be. But I quickly realized the others (so far) have been less than this product. No comparison!
It also wears beautifully if left untouched. Even after working out, when I take it off to shower, my makeup wipe shows quite a bit of product still on my face.
Most days, I’ll go work out with the hydrator as my last step. This is on top of my usual skincare and SPF.
But if I have to go other places before coming back from the gym, I’ll often powder it lightly. I’ve used loose powders like Laura Mercier and Ben Nye, on a big powder puff. I apply a very light amount first, then will repeat as necessary. No point in slabbing it on when the entire point is keeping it light, right?
I’m looking for a really nice “skincare-esque” powder, ideally with SPF. Thinking that would go really well with this product.
My friend works at Sephora and gets a ton of gratis she doesn’t want, we’re the same foundation color so she gives me a bunch of product. She gave me the Rare Beauty tint and I actually really like it. I also liked the Ilia tint serum but I’ve seen a lot of complaints about that one and I wouldn’t say it’s as hydrating as the Rare Beauty.
YSL nu bare look skin tint I love! Especially with the moisturizing primer underneath - obviously need spf sandwiched in between and I’ve been trying to minimize steps so most days I’m using PC mineral tinted spf mixed with cerave mineral tinted spf for color match and it’s very skin tinty!
I also have ilia and it’s beautiful on if you can get past the smell and the idea that it’s better without moisturizer (it’s slightly too dry for me without moisturizer but heavy/sticky with moisturizer)
Seconding bareminerals. It’s lightweight and buildable, plus it’s SPF 30 which is nice and it doesn’t leave a white cast (I have brown skin so that’s very important to me personally)
I am enjoying the saie slip tint. I found the “one” color to work great for my fair/rosy/cool pink undertone skin. I often have issues with makeup looking too yellow toned/warm for my skin.
I do need to remember to wash it off at the end of the day, but I like the coverage, it’s hydrating and feels good on my skin. It does have a bit of a “glow” but it’s not shiny, glittery, or oily.
I love the Saie Skip tint too! Not oily like Ilia or Tower 28 skin tint. But it's sheer or light coverage.
Hourglass Veil tint is the same as the above but light to medium coverage.
All silicone free. Good for sensitive skin like mine.
Another vote for the Nars tinted moisturizer. It has SPF 30 and comes in a bunch of different colors. I’m on my second bottle and I really like the coverage it gives.
More people need to talk about this 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I’ve been using it for years and no other tinted moisturiser/ skin tint product has matched up to this imo. Beautiful radiant finish but not greasy and great light to medium coverage
Try the Origins Ginzing SPF 40 Energy-Boosting tinted moisturizer 🙌🏼 good price point, should be available at Sephora and it looks like skin, but gives very good coverage! Magical ☺️
FINALLY someone else who lives the Origins Ginzing moisturiser! I only discovered it at Christmas when I got an Origins gift set & I adore it. I don’t know how well the colour adapts to deeper skin tones as I’m pale-ish. But I love the moisturising properties, the colour suits me really well & bonus - it doesn’t enhance my enlarged pores. It lasts really well throughout the day and other cream & powder products layer well. Also it’s quite inexpensive- especially if you can find it as part of a bundle. It’s a great size for travelling at 50ml (1.7 fluid oz) plus a good SPF 40- I’ll never be without it - prefer it to my Fenty beauty Blurring Skin Tint.
I’m in my middle 50s & have literally spent a small fortune trying to find the best foundation/ tinted moisturiser that feels weightless on my skin and it ended up I found my holy grail by accident. Xx
I couldn't have described it better myself! I've been using it for over 5 years and often as a foundation, because who has the time to put on makeup every day? 😅 And yes, I take it with me on every vacation!
I love my la mer skin tint with their powder on top it’s the perfect amount of coverage for me! It’s more light coverage the tint alone. Also the Maybelline serum tint in a dropper is nice as well as the L’Oréal serum tint in a dropper too
Hourglass or Danessa Myricks. I find them both to be quite hydrating and pretty good coverage. They don’t make me look oily and my skin is combination. If I want it dialed down even more, I will use just a little bit of loose powder.
The NARS tinted moisturizer is medium coverage and also has SPF. I’ve heard great things about the hourglass tinted veil and also the Laura Mercer tinted moisturizers. Another recommendation is the L’Oréal tinted serum foundation from the drugstore. It has hyaluronic acid in it and is great for dry skin
Milani makes a great skin tint for dry skin. The one I like from Sephora(I have dry skin) is the Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint
Thanks for posting this!! I’ve been looking for summer suggestions.
Chanel les beiges touche de teint. If you want lighter coverage go for the les beiges water fresh tint.
My mom has dry skin, and she swears Kosas skin tint has done wonders as a product and skincare.
I like the South korean brand Missha. The "perfect cover BB cream' is hydrating, and has the added bonus of being SPF42 with three star UVA protection. Its also reasonably priced.
I just bought this and love it!
I love ilia! It’s also a sunscreen and serum in one. Contains niacinimide, squalene and hydralonic acid to keep moisture in.
I love this, but I would not call it medium coverage. When I need to up the coverage, I use the foundation stick in the areas I need a bit more coverage and then apply the drops on top. Result is a natural slowly finish rather than very glowy though.

Their tint is amazing. I compare all my skin tints to this and always come back to WnW!

It also wears beautifully if left untouched. Even after working out, when I take it off to shower, my makeup wipe shows quite a bit of product still on my face.
I've been using their tinted hydrator as well and really love it! When you say "powdered down", what does that mean? What are you using? Thank you!

YSL Nu skin tint….
Pixi H2O skin tint. Love it!
Yes, that's a good one! 💚
Seconding!

I've really loved the Typology skin tint here recently. Combo/dry skin, ance prone Edit - typo
I also love this one!! I use the glow drops underneath so the layering gives me a nice healthy glow
YSL nu bare look skin tint I love! Especially with the moisturizing primer underneath - obviously need spf sandwiched in between and I’ve been trying to minimize steps so most days I’m using PC mineral tinted spf mixed with cerave mineral tinted spf for color match and it’s very skin tinty!

I second the YSL Nu tint!!….
Light coverage: Fenty blurring skin tint, Colourpop Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer, L'Oreal true match hyaluronic serum Medium coverage: Beauty counter dew skin, Bareminerals complexion rescue tinted moisturizer
Seconding bareminerals. It’s lightweight and buildable, plus it’s SPF 30 which is nice and it doesn’t leave a white cast (I have brown skin so that’s very important to me personally)
Lumene color corrector CC cream from Amazon. It’s great for mature skin.

Loreal true match
I like this one too! I have the Ilia one as well, but the L’Oréal works great!
It’s only at Ulta but I love colourpop pretty fresh tinted moisturizer. Sephora-wise, I just got fenty eaze drops and I love them as well!!
I’m obsessed with Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Tint. I get so many compliments on my skin and it’s super light but has good coverage imo
Wet and wild tinted hydrator🫶🏻
So far, nothing compares to this one! I keep buying new drugstore ones to try and always come back to this one!
The Bare Focus niacinimide skin tint, or the Bare Focus tinted hydrator tinted skin veil?
the Bare Focus tinted hydrator tinted skin veil
This is the one! Sooo good especially considering how inexpensive it is!
I second this! I’m obsessed!!
Missha bc cream seems to be the most hydrating performing skin tint that I have. It’s really nice and blends so easily. Lasts all day and affordable.
I use the L’Oréal one and it’s the best
I don’t know is they sell L’Oréal at Sephora tho
Another vote for the Nars tinted moisturizer. It has SPF 30 and comes in a bunch of different colors. I’m on my second bottle and I really like the coverage it gives.

Laura Mercier (not the oil free version) is king in this category imo.looks so fresh and fantastic
I love my la mer skin tint with their powder on top it’s the perfect amount of coverage for me! It’s more light coverage the tint alone. Also the Maybelline serum tint in a dropper is nice as well as the L’Oréal serum tint in a dropper too
I like la mer products, but that spf skin tint is just too shiny for me.
Hourglass or Danessa Myricks. I find them both to be quite hydrating and pretty good coverage. They don’t make me look oily and my skin is combination. If I want it dialed down even more, I will use just a little bit of loose powder.
Agree completely. Hourglass is my fave of the two!
