When we tried out this tinted moisturizer, we were immediately impressed with out light it felt on our skin.

It’s also formulated with everyone’s favorite ingredient hyaluronic acid. Bonus? We’d say so.

If you want a super natural finish…
When we tested out this product, we felt that the formula took a little bit more time to blend over our skin, but once we got it there, it had the most natural finish. It seriously looked like we weren’t wearing anything at all. It felt that way, too, as the oil-free formula didn’t leave us feeling claustrophobic in the least bit. It’s available in 7 different shades and includes a mineral sunscreen of an SPF 20!

If you want something semi-matte…
When we questioned one beauty editor on this stuff, she mentioned its lovely semi-matte finish, boost of hydration and the fact that it didn’t feel greasy in the least bit. Sign. Us. Up. While it only comes in two shades (bummer) it does have an SPF 20 and an ingredient called viniferine, which the brand claims helps reduce dark spots.
