Skin tints have become all the rage in the beauty community as they are perfect for a quick and easy no-makeup, makeup look. Last week I posted about the best drugstore skin tints for a fresh, natural makeup look. Today, I bring you more skin-tint goodness with a roundup of the best skin tints at Sephora that are truly lightweight and long-wearing with a natural radiant finish.
In case you missed my previous post, here’s the 411 on skin tints and how they differ from tinted moisturizers. Basically, skin tints have a very lightweight and thin texture that blends easily to even out your skin tone while smoothing and blurring imperfections with a natural finish (that lets your skin shine through!) Plus, they are also spiked with skincare ingredients to hydrate and revitalize dull, dry skin.
However, with so many skin tints to choose from, it’s hard to figure out which one is right for you. Below, I have listed some of the best skin tints at Sephora and categorized their suitability according to different skin types. Whether you have oily skin or struggle with dryness or sensitive skin, you’ll find a great fit for your skin type!
So, here are the best skin tints at Sephora that make your skin look smoother and even-toned with very lightweight, buildable coverage for a natural, fresh-faced glow! And most of them are under $40 (more luxe, less bucks!)
Best Skin Tint for Oily Skin: Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint ($36)
Perfect for those with combination to oily skin type, this lightweight skin tint provides buildable light-to-medium coverage with a natural (and long-wearing) matte finish. It minimizes imperfections and evens out complexion with a smoothing blurred effect. Available in 25 flexible shades for all, the formula is humidity, sweat and transfer-resistant and layers well with primer and skincare.
Best Skin Tint for All Skin Types: Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint with Peptides + Ceramides ($36)
This skin tint has a hydrating and smoothing formula that provides buildable light coverage with a skin-like, radiant finish. It smooths skin texture and evens out your skin tone beautifully, addressing any redness, unevenness or blotchiness. Not to mention, the formula is also infused with nourishing skincare ingredients including ceramides, vegan collagen peptides, squalane, hyaluronic acid and antioxidant booster cactus extract. This skin tint comes in 16 flexible shades to fit a wide range of skin tones. Great for all skin types.
Best Long-lasting Skin Tint: Beauty Blender BOUNCE Skin Tint ($29)
Infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and brightening Niacinamide, this skin tint offers breathable, buildable coverage that stays put. It provides light-to-medium coverage with a natural radiant finish and the formula is quite long-wearing for a skin tint. Best for normal to combination skin, it’s available in 20 flexible shades that are “tone-adapting” to stretch across all skin tones.
Best Skin Tint for Acne-Prone Skin: Ciele tint & PROTECT SPF 50+ tinted serum ($44)
What sets this skin tint apart from others is its mineral-based broad spectrum SPF 50+ protection with a weightless feel. It melts into the skin providing buildable light-to-medium coverage with a natural finish. Not to mention, the formula also contains skincare actives like brightening Niacinamide, soothing Bisabolol and Allantoin. The fragrance-free formula is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and acne-safe. Available in 13 adaptable shades, this skin tint is best for oily, acne-prone and combination skin, and even sensitive skin. I would say this is also the best skin tint with SPF, so it’s definitely an all-rounder!
Best Skin Tint for Combination Skin: Caliray Freedreaming Blurring Skin Tint ($19)
This one is like a more hydrating version of the Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring skin tint. It glides on smoothly with a barley-there feel and gives you buildable light coverage with a natural glow finish. It also provides a soft-focus blurring effect for imperfections and the formula is nicely hydrating yet lightweight. Also, it contains antioxidant-rich prickly pear extract along with vitamins E and C. Best for normal to dry and combination skin types, this tint comes in 8 sheer shades that flex to adapt to a wide range of skin tones.
Best Skin Tint for Smoothing Skin Texture: Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint ($32)
Available in 18 shades, this skin tint has a lightweight hydrating formula that delivers buildable light to medium coverage with a natural satin-matte finish. True to its name, it really smooths skin texture and blurs pores, and evens out your complexion beautifully for “your skin but better” results. This skin tint is best for normal to dry skin types, but it works well for oily skin too if you set it with powder. The formula also contains hydrating amino acids and peach flower extract that protects skin against the harmful effects of free radicals.
Best Skin Tint for Mature Skin: Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint ($49)
This skin tint has a silky-smooth texture that melts quickly into skin, providing a sheer veil of coverage to diffuse imperfections and visibly even skin tone with a natural satin finish. Infused with meadowfoam seed oil, hyaluronic acid and squalane, the formula feels feathery-light yet hydrating and comfortable on the skin. Available in 18 adaptable shades, this one is suitable for all skin types, but especially great for normal to dry/combination skin.
Best Skin Tint for Dry Skin: Saie Slip Tint SPF 35 ($36)
True to its claims, this lightweight skin tint provides sheer, dewy coverage. The formula is not very buildable but provides light coverage that’s enough to even out your skin tone. It delivers just the perfect amount of dewiness so it’s glowy but not greasy and is hydrating without a heavy feel. Not to mention, it also contains hyaluronic acid, licorice root extract and mineral-based SPF 35. The fragrance-free formula comes in 14 sheer-flexible shades that blend into a wide range of skin tones. It’s best for dry skin types.
Best Skin Tint for Oily Skin: Laura Mercier Oil-free Natural Skin Perfector SPF 20 ($54)
This one is a cult-classic and for good reason! It provides lightweight, buildable sheer to light coverage with a natural matte finish and contains oil-absorbing powders to help keep skin shine-free, making it the perfect pick for oily skin. Also, it gives skin a soft-focus effect and smooths skin texture while blurring imperfections. Available in 20 shades, the formula also contains soothing licorice root extract and antioxidant vitamin E for skincare benefits.
Best Skin Tint for Sensitive Skin: Live Tinted Hueguard Skin Tint SPF 50 ($42)
This is another great multi-tasking skin tint with mineral SPF 50 protection! It has a lightweight gel cream texture that provides light-medium buildable coverage with a healthy radiance. The formula is also moisturizing and contains hyaluronic acid, sea buckthorn oil, antioxidant-rich butterfly bush flower extract and Indian gooseberry extract that has skin-brightening benefits. This skin tint is best for normal to dry and sensitive skin types. Available in 10 shades, it’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. This one is not available at Sephora, but it’s pretty good so I included it in this list…you can easily find it at Ulta Beauty.
So, these are the best skin tints at Sephora with very lightweight, natural coverage that meshes with skin rather than camouflaging it for ‘your skin but better’ results.
