Introduction to Skin Tints
The video introduces the concept of skin tints as a lightweight alternative to traditional foundations, perfect for achieving a natural, effortless makeup look. Amanda Benko, a professional makeup artist, aims to help viewers find the right skin tint based on their skin tone, skin type, and budget. She emphasizes that skin tints provide a natural finish with more moisturizing and lightweight feel, ideal for those seeking a "no makeup" makeup effect.
NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
The NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, priced at $48 USD (approximately $67 CAD), is highlighted as Amanda's favorite. It boasts a good shade range and applies beautifully over skincare without causing peeling. This skin tint provides a skin-like effect with a hydrating feel, suitable for all skin types from dry to oily. While not the longest-wearing, it lasts a full day and offers a natural, balanced finish that is neither too dewy nor too matte.
Maybelline Superstay 24-Hour Skin Tint
The Maybelline Superstay 24-Hour Skin Tint, a drugstore option priced at $17.99 USD ($21.99 CAD), is praised for its quality and luxurious feel despite being affordable. Available in 15 shades, it offers the most extended wear and highest coverage among the reviewed tints. The consistency is slightly heavier, providing a glowy finish that can be built to medium coverage. However, it may cling to dry patches and might not be the best choice for super dry skin.
Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint
The Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, retailing for $48 USD (around $67 CAD) and available in 18 shades, is compared to the NARS tint with some key differences. It features a light coverage and a very natural finish, with a more glowy and slippery texture than the NARS option. This cruelty-free and vegan formula melts into the skin, applies easily without streaks, and lasts longer throughout the day. It is best suited for normal to dry skin types, as it may be too slippery for oily skin.
Supergoop! Protect Tint SPF 50
The Supergoop! Protect Tint SPF 50, priced at $44 USD ($63 CAD), is ideal for those seeking high SPF protection in their skin tint. Available in 14 shades, it has a cushiony, lightweight gel texture perfect for a no-makeup look. It blends easily, provides a nice glow, and makes the skin look hydrated and plump. Being vegan and cruelty-free, it can be tricky to use with other skincare products, potentially causing some peeling. It may also be too glowy for oily skin and cling to dry patches on very dry skin.
Fenty Hydr Visor Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30
The Fenty Hydr Visor Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30, costing $46 USD ($66 CAD), is considered underrated. Despite only offering 10 shades, it feels lightweight and has buildable coverage. The SPF 30 does not affect its blendability, and it performs well on all skin types. Cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, and fragrance-free, it is suitable for sensitive skin. It provides a good balance of hydration without excessive oiliness, making it a versatile option for everyone.
