Love this!
I have never been a fan of tinted moisturisers/sunblock or of any kind until I read rave reviews and I have to say: I'm sold! This tinted moisturiser does not have full coverage, only light-medium but it's great for covering redness and light acne scars. Albeit the name, I still use moisturiser before applying this tinted moisturiser as I have really dry skin.
Great but not for all seasons
I've been using this product for a long time and love this new colour they have out. It's very pink-yellow balanced and even though I have light skin, I find this better suited to my skintone with Alaska which is what I used to use.
I've been finding myself avoiding this product in the summer though. It's kind of an oily tinted moisturizer and my skin really likes it in the winter and transitional months, but in Spring and Summer, everything gets a bit too slippy and oily.
Every Day, Every Season
My Skin: Combo Coverage: Sheer Buildable: No Finish: Glow 8 Hours Performance /10: 6 Touchups: Yes For All Skin Types: Yes Notes: I really like this. I use it everyday and it's great. The color matches my skin which I'm thankful for. It has a glow finish that's nice but it really brings out the oil. What sucks is touchups; Every time I use oil blotting sheets or touch my face it removes the makeup which is not good. Also even though this is sheer coverage it still accentuates any acne, bumps, whiteheads, or pores you see. This is perfect for a teen who is just getting into makeup. I feel like this product is overpriced. $30? Sure. $42? That's pushing it. If you use it sparingly though it last a while. I bought mine in July of last year and am just now running out. Another thing to think about is if you use a brush to apply, use a sponge after to smooth it out because it does leave brush strokes. The color selection for my darker girls could be better but it's fine. Would I recommend?: Yes Will I buy again?: Definitely! I am interested in another product called the Cover FX Custom Cover drops which allows you to customize any primer, serum, moisturizer, etc.
Best TM EVER.
So.. I've always been a girl that HATED tinted moisturizers.. until this one. I'm a very oily skintype so generally tinted moisturizers just make me feel greasy and shiny.. this one is a major exception. I can wear this with a bit of the light reflecting setting powder from NARS and not see shine until about 4+ hours in.. which is crazy!!! Hydrating with a silky feel and a satin finish that looks incredible on every skintype- and trust me, working for NARS I've put it on EVERY skin type. It's definitely worth a try!
Love Love Love!
I've had this since the summer and only just got back into using it. I'm not even kidding when I say I'd happily trade in my foundation for this stuff!
The coverage is great a nice sheer to light/medium coverage which is just right for me (I hate full coverage), though granted I only have minor redness and a few blemishes that I cover with concealer.
It lasts really nicely, I do powder and re powder during the day but that takes all of five seconds so it's not a huge time commitment. However, if you have very oily skin this might not be for you, though a primer may work if you were (I personally don't use primer for it) The shade is a great match too which was a surprise considering I struggle to find the right shade, especially in TMs and BB creams. I'm not the palest of the bunch though so you very porcelain skinned girls might have to give this a miss.
I would recommend this to anyone on the look out for a good tinted moisturiser.
LOVE. It's my boyfriend. I like the natural, subtle make up look and this does the job. It's lightweight and buildable. I apply with the beauty blender and for days when I want to get a little fancy, I'll apply with my UD optical blending brush and set it with a finishing powder. Color matches perfectly (NC45 for reference). A little goes along way so I feel the price point is fair.
better than laura mercier's
This is the best tm ive ever tried. Ive been using Laura Mercier's cult favorite but once I tried this I cant go back. Way better coverage and texture and even though I used the oil free LM this one actually keeps me matte allll day but I still have that radiant glow! Dont even need to powder my face.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have been using this tinted moisturizer for months and months and it's incredible! It gives me the perfect amount of coverage because I don't have a lot of acne I just tend to get a few blemishes here and there as well as redness but this tinted moisturizer covers up my small blemishes but most importantly evens put my skin tone and covers up my discoloration! I use this everyday for school because it gives me a fresh natural look! Good for any skin types. If you have a little more acne this with a good concealer and powder this would be great! Perfect again if you want a natural look with a little extra coverage!

This my favorite tinted moisterizer ever! A lot of tinted moisterizers have an ingredient that makes my skin red and burn. This is the only tinted moisterizer that does not do that to my skin. I love using a brush with it because it glides on easier. I absolutly adore this tinted moisterizer!
Great minimal coverage
I tried this on in sephora and the sales associate did a really poor job of blending the product, but the color matched the best it could. I love the coverage but the shade doesn't exactly match me. However it does blend really well and keep a nice coverage. I would definitely recommend this over smashbox.
