Review Criteria
Cindy explains the criteria for ranking the skin tints, using a 25-point scale with five categories: texture, hydration, coverage, finish, and wear time. Texture should be weightless and light, hydration should be fairly hydrating, coverage should allow skin to peek through, finish should be fresh and dewy but not glowy, and wear time will be assessed over 6 to 8 hours. She notes that she uses the same untinted sunscreen and skincare routine for all wear tests, which she will detail in the comments and description.
Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Gel Tint Review
Cindy reviews the Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Gel Tint, which claims to last up to 12 hours with buildable light to medium coverage and a natural dewy finish. The formula includes trialic acid, niacinamide, blue agave extract, and other moisturizing ingredients. Priced at $36 an ounce and available in 15 shades, Cindy finds the shade three fair cool to be a decent match. She notes the creamy formula spreads easily but can be a bit glowy, which can be adjusted with a brush or powder. Cindy scores it a 3/5 for texture (not weightless), 5/5 for hydration, 3/5 for coverage (prefers lighter), 5/5 for finish (evens skin tone), and 4/5 for wear (visible at the end of the day).
RMS Beauty Sun Coverup Super Tint SPF 50 Review
Cindy reviews the RMS Beauty Sun Coverup Super Tint SPF 50, a skincare-infused tinted moisturizer with mineral SPF 50. She notes that it's unlikely to provide sufficient SPF due to the amount needed for adequate protection. The product claims to give a radiant even skin tone with eight-hour wear and 24-hour hydration, featuring ingredients like squalane, bisabolol, Glow Plex, and an adaptogenic herbal blend. Priced at $49 an ounce with 13 flexible shades, Cindy finds Ivory a better match than Cameo, though both lean warm. She boosts the hydration with Merritt's duo and scores it 4/5 for texture (light serum), 3/5 for hydration (needs boosting), 4/5 for coverage (light to medium), 4/5 for finish (satin), and 5/5 for wear (long-lasting).
Tower 28 Sunny Days Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Review
Cindy reviews Tower 28's Sunny Days Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, noting it's more of a skin tint than a sunscreen due to insufficient SPF for adequate protection. It claims light to sheer coverage, evens out redness, and soothes UV-stressed skin with ingredients like white sage extract and prickly pear extract. Priced at $32 an ounce with 17 flexible shades, Cindy finds Fairfax a good match. She prefers applying it with a damp beauty blender due to its stiff texture and dewy finish. Cindy scores it 3/5 for texture (stiff), 5/5 for hydration (very hydrating), 3/5 for coverage (more than preferred), 3/5 for finish (very dewy), and 4/5 for wear (long-lasting).
Laura Mercier Longwear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 Review
Cindy reviews the reformulated Laura Mercier Longwear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30, a longwear version of their classic tinted moisturizer. It claims 16-hour wear, improved skin tone and texture, and 24-hour hydration, featuring hyaluronic acid, upcycled grape extract, and a probiotic complex. Priced at $29 an ounce with 20 shades, Cindy uses Cameo. She finds application easy but is disappointed with the wear, noting it dries out her skin by midday. Cindy scores it 4/5 for texture (creamy), 2/5 for hydration (drying), 3/5 for coverage (nice initially), 4/5 for finish (soft glow), and 2/5 for wear (poor longevity).
Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer Review
Cindy reviews the Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer, which claims a "no-makeup" look, concealing redness and improving hydration with ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and glycerin. Priced at $25 an ounce with 16 shades, Cindy uses Ivory, a shade provided by Tamara. She finds it applies beautifully with her fingers, providing good hydration and a satin finish. Cindy scores it 4/5 for texture (creamy, lightweight), 4/5 for hydration (surprisingly hydrating), 5/5 for coverage (skin but better), 4/5 for finish (satin), and 4/5 for wear (good longevity).
Typology Tinted Serum Review (Bonus)
Cindy reviews the Typology Tinted Serum, a bonus product recommended by Tamara for its no-makeup look. It claims to even skin tone with light coverage and a natural finish, featuring vitamin C and aloe vera. Priced at $44 an ounce with only six shades, Cindy uses shade number one. She pairs it with the Merit Duo for extra moisture and finds it ideal for oily skin due to its sheer, lightweight texture. Cindy scores it 5/5 for texture (lightweight), 3/5 for hydration (needs boosting), 4/5 for coverage (blurs imperfections), 5/5 for finish (satin), and 5/5 for wear (long-lasting).
Final Rankings and Conclusion
Cindy reveals her final rankings, starting with her least favorite to most favorite. Laura Mercier's reformulation is ranked last (5th), followed by Tower 28 (4th), RMS Beauty (3rd), and Milk Makeup (2nd). The Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer is her top pick (1st) due to its impressive performance as a tinted moisturizer. She concludes by thanking Tamara for the collaboration and inviting viewers to subscribe to Beyond 50 Skin and consider joining her upcoming membership for exclusive content.
