INTRO
Tamara introduces her third annual skin tint roundup, a collaboration with Cindy from Beyond 50 Skin. Together, they will review and rank at least 10 skin tints suitable for dry, mature skin. Tamara encourages viewers to check out Cindy's video after watching hers. She mentions that all products, makeup, and discount codes will be listed in the description box, pinned comment, and YouTube shopping.
SKIN TYPE
Tamara describes her 65-year-old skin as quite dry with lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. She seeks light to light-medium coverage in a skin tint to even out her skin tone, diffuse sunspots, and provide a healthy glow. She is reviewing and ranking five skin tints, including newer and older favorites, tested over several weeks.
SKIN PREP
For consistency, Tamara applied all skin tints over her usual skincare routine and Dermatology Broad Spectrum SPF 45. She chose this untinted, moisturizing SPF because it doesn't alter the coverage or finish of the skin tints.
ONLY ONE FAIL
Tamara's least favorite is the L'Oreal Lumi Llow Skin Tint, priced at $16.99 for 24.8 ml. Despite having 16 shades and a lightweight, serumy consistency, it contains metallic shimmer, which Tamara dislikes. Key ingredients include cocoa capriate, glycerin, cornstarch, niacinamide, vitamin E, and silica. It's fragrance-free and contains no drying alcohol. Tamara disagrees with the claims of healthy glow and breathable coverage, finding application tricky, coverage medium rather than a tint, and the finish metallic, accentuating pores and dryness.
SUPER BOOST
Tamara discusses the Makeup Forever Super Boost Lightweight Moisturizing Skin Tint with Hyaluronic Acid, priced at $36 for 30 ml. She dislikes the packaging. It comes in 16 shades, but she had trouble finding the right match, mixing fair and medium shades to get her custom color. Ingredients include glycerin, squalane, and sodium hyaluronate, but it contains denatured alcohol and synthetic fragrance. It claims to provide an instant and long-lasting boost with hydrating and plumping effects, offering buildable, sheer to medium coverage with a radiant finish. Tamara finds it pretty on the skin with a smooth, radiant finish, but the shade range, drying alcohol, and packaging design are drawbacks.
THIS SURPRISED ME
Tamara reviews the NYX Buttermilk Glaze Skin Tint SPF 30, which costs $16 for 30 ml. She was hesitant due to its claim of a "glazed doughnut finish" but was pleasantly surprised. It is cruelty-free and vegan, with 93% skincare ingredients and SPF 30 using chemical filters. The tint contains shea butter, mango butter, niacinamide, glycerin, and sodium hyaluronate. It claims lightweight coverage with a glowy finish and 12 hours of wear time. Tamara finds the tropical fruit scent pleasant and the formula lightweight, blending effortlessly with fingers. It provides sheer to very light coverage, evening out skin tone without being detectable, making it suitable for a no-makeup look.
THE LAST TWO ARE A TIE
Tamara discusses Janessa Mrick's Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Tint with peptides and ceramides, priced at $36 for 45 ml. It is cruelty-free, vegan, contains no SPF or drying alcohol, and has less than 1% fragrance. The tint includes vegan collagen peptides, ceramides, and cactus extract, along with glycerin, triglyceride, squalane, and sodium hyaluronate. It claims light to medium buildable coverage with a radiant finish. Tamara finds it silky, blending effortlessly and providing a smoothing, plumping, and blurring effect.
WORKS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
Tamara reviews CL's Tint and Protect SPF 50 Skin Tint, priced at $44 for 38 ml. It is fragrance-free, cruelty-free, and vegan, packaged in a recyclable glass container. Ingredients include allantoin, propanediol, dimethicones, bisabolol, niacinamide, and 12% zinc oxide. It claims weightless, seamless light-medium coverage with a natural finish, providing sun and antioxidant protection. Tamara finds the serumy consistency nice and the coverage natural-looking. It sets down without tackiness, offering a natural satin finish with a touch of radiance. While not as moisturizing as others, it suits all skin types, including combo and oily skin.
