I like a light coverage with dewy finish, so tinted moisturizers can be perfect for me. I use my regular moisturizer underneath, I’ve heard people say that using your regular moisturizer underheath defeats the purpose of a tinted moisturizer, which they think of as an all-in-one, one-step product. However, I need the extra moisture and don’t think of a tinted moisturizer as a one-step product but rather as a light foundation.
If I’m using a regular foundation, I make it into a tinted moisturizer by starting with moisturizer on the face, then blending more of the moisturizer with the foundation in my hand, and then applying.
My moisturizer has been Clinique DDML+ since forever. My tinted moisturizers are MAC Face & Body, and Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. My foundation is MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation.
