Tinted moisturisers were a big trend in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Everyone loved how fuss-free and multi-functional they were – you could replace your regular moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation with just one product – as well as its natural-looking coverage.
Then, BB creams were invented. The new wunderkind attracted women because it offered more coverage and added skin benefits. It was an additional step in your routine, so who cares? Soon the K-beauty wave swept the world, bringing with it the 10-step skincare regime and a myriad of other new products from cushion compacts to water lip tints.
As women’s routines got longer and longer, and makeup became more professional and polished, multi-functional beauty products unfortunately become lost in the mix.
Beauty trends come and go, just like everything else. And in recent years, the natural, no-makeup makeup look came back as women started embracing their natural skin. I mean, didn’t we all love it when Meghan Markle kept her makeup so light that we could see her freckles clearly on her wedding day?
Slowly, all the reasons we loved tinted moisturizers started to come back. They have a subtle finish that makes your skin appear just like you. The natural dewy glow they leave behind. They are also easy to use and quick.
What’s more, the new generation of tinted moisturisers are even more effective than their predecessors, often coming in a larger variety of shades, lighter textures and with more skincare benefits that will leave your complexion looking and feeling good.
Their improved formulas also mean little to no blending is needed, so it’ll get you out the door and off to work in a flash.
If you haven’t yet, then it’s definitely time to jump on the tinted moisturiser bandwagon. Here are the ones we love. Trust us, they’re going to be your new beauty bestie.
