Intro and Methodology
The video introduces a skin tint roundup featuring 16 different products tested by a 51-year-old woman with normal skin. The reviewer explains that she applied each skin tint to one half of her face without primer, using only her fingers for consistency, to demonstrate coverage and performance. The review will progress from the lightest coverage to the fullest.
In Beauty Project Mineral Sunlow
The In Beauty Project Mineral Sunlow, priced at $35 for 1.7 oz, is included despite not being marketed as a skin tint. It is an unscented mineral sunscreen with SPF 43 that provides a slight enhancement to the skin. The product is undetectable on the skin, offers a slight glow, and does not settle into lines or wrinkles.
Glossier Skin Tint
The Glossier Skin Tint, priced at $28 for 1 oz and available in 12 shades, offers sheer coverage without SPF. It provides a gentle enhancement, excellent wear time, and a soft matte finish. The product is buildable, does not settle into lines or wrinkles, and is virtually undetectable on the skin, making the shade range flexible.
Makeup Forever Super Boost Skin Tint
The Makeup Forever Super Boost Skin Tint, priced at $36 for 1 oz and available in 18 shades, offers sheer to light coverage without SPF. It has a noticeable artificial scent and a gimmicky packaging design. While it provides long wear and is buildable, the reviewer finds it somewhat underwhelming, noting it can make her skin look flat and slightly chalky.
Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops
The Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops, the most expensive in the lineup at $68 for 1 oz, is a highly moisturizing product with a light coverage. It has a distinct squalane scent that some may find off-putting. The product is buildable, provides a dewy finish, and is slightly detectable on the skin, making it ideal for very dry skin.
Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint
The Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, priced at $49 for 1.1 oz and available in 18 shades, offers light coverage without SPF. It provides excellent wear time, is slightly buildable, and is undetectable on the skin with a satin to glowy finish. The reviewer notes that the shade match is not perfect, as the colors tend to run peachy orange.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy
The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy, priced at $50 for 1.5 oz, offers light coverage with SPF 30. It provides excellent wear time, smoothing the skin with a glowy finish. The reviewer loves how it looks on the skin but cannot use it daily due to a sensitivity to chemical sunscreens.
Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer
The Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer, priced at $44 for 1.69 oz and available in 16 shades, offers solid light coverage without SPF. It provides excellent wear time, is undetectable on the skin, and has a sleek packaging design. The reviewer appreciates its ease of use and the healthy, refreshed look it provides.
Typology Tinted Serum
The Typology Tinted Serum, priced at $44.90 for 1 oz, offers solid light coverage with a squalane scent and only six shades. It provides excellent wear time, perfecting the skin with a blurring effect. The reviewer considers it a standout product despite the limited shade range and direct-to-consumer availability.
Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint
The Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint, priced at $48 for 1 oz, offers light to medium coverage with SPF 40 and 30 shades. It has a distinct squalane scent that some find offensive. The product provides very long wear, does not settle into lines or wrinkles, and has a glowy to dewy finish that sets to satin.
Live Tinted Hueguard Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
The Live Tinted Hueguard Tinted Mineral Sunscreen, priced at $42 for 1.35 oz and available in 11 shades, offers light coverage with SPF 50. It has a faint squalane scent and is not visible on the skin. The product provides solid wear time with some shine breakthrough and a glowy to dewy finish.
Tower 28 Sunny Days Tinted Sunscreen
The Tower 28 Sunny Days Tinted Sunscreen, priced at $32 for 1 oz and available in 17 shades, offers medium coverage with SPF 30. It is unscented and provides very long wear, but can settle slightly into lines and texture. The reviewer finds it potentially drying for mature skin.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint
The Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint, priced at $36 for 1 oz and available in 15 shades, offers light to medium coverage without SPF. It settles into fine lines and feels heavy on the skin, making it less favored by the reviewer despite its dewy finish and good wear.
RMS Sun Cover-Up
The RMS Sun Cover-Up, priced at $49 for 1 oz and available in 13 shades, offers medium coverage with SPF 50. It has a squalane scent and provides excellent wear time, feeling more like a foundation. The product settles into lines and texture and comes in luxurious packaging.
Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint Blurring Elixir
The Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint Blurring Elixir, priced at $32 for 1 oz and available in 24 shades, offers medium coverage without SPF. It is unscented and provides very long wear with a blurring effect and a soft matte finish. The reviewer was surprised by its performance, finding it perfecting and suitable for mature skin.
Iconic London Blurring Skin Tint
The Iconic London Blurring Skin Tint, priced at $32 for 1 oz and available in 18 shades, offers light to medium coverage without SPF. It is unscented and provides very long wear with a soft matte finish and a blurring effect. The reviewer loves this product, placing it in her top five for its smoothing and perfecting qualities.
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint
The Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint, priced at $36 for 1.58 oz and available in 20 shades, offers solid medium coverage without SPF.

Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Tint
The Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Tint, priced at $41 for 1 oz and available in 18 shades, offers light to medium coverage without SPF. It provides excellent wear time and features a unique olive tone shade. The reviewer considers it her number one skin tint due to its ease of application and natural finish.
