There’s a new baseline in beauty - skin that looks real. Not flattened, not filtered, not drowned in foundation -just better.

Enter the skin tint. The hybrid product that sits somewhere between a serum, a moisturiser and a foundation, giving you light coverage and active skincare in one step.

So what makes skin tints so relevant right now?

People want makeup that works with their skin, not against it. They want glow without heaviness, coverage without the commitment, and products that hold up in warm weather - especially if you live in a climate where humidity and heat are a full-time job.

Skin tints are the shortcut: effortless, breathable, and quietly polished which is why we’ve come up with an edit of formulas that fuse skincare and makeup seamlessly - hydrating, smoothing, brightening, and giving that soft-focus finish everyone wants without looking like you tried too hard.

Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

Think of this as a tall glass of water for your face. This vegan formula instantly boosts the skin’s moisture levels by 52% and offers up a dewy glow with a plumping and smoothing effect. The texture is lightweight and has a comfortable sheer coverage – perfect for everyday on the go.

Kosas BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream

A cult favourite for good reason - a clean, tinted gel-cream that feels more skincare than makeup. It gives a hit of active ingredients, light-buildable coverage, and that smooth, hydrated, naturally radiant finish everyone is chasing right now.

Armani Beauty Skin Tint

Armani Beauty’s radiant skin tint contains Golden Hour Pearls - light-catching pigments that mimic your most flattering glow. Offering a flexible texture with low-to-medium, buildable coverage, the 92% serum-based formula packs hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, white lily, and Vitamin CG for 24-hour hydration while targeting dullness, dark spots, and redness.

Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint

This is what “your skin but better” actually means. Containing 78% skincare ingredients, this skin tint is featherlight, flexible, and incredibly natural, it blurs just enough to look intentional while staying practically undetectable. Perfect for minimalists who want daily polish.

Asteri Beauty NOORISH Tinted Serum SPF 30

A modern, desert-friendly tint made with the Middle East in mind. It’s weightless, hydrating and infused with SPF - ideal for anyone who wants skincare benefits, sun protection and a soft wash of coverage in a single step. The finish is fresh, healthy, and heat-proof.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30

This best selling skin tint leads with a skincare-first approach, with its cocktail of niacinamide, squalane and hyaluronic acid. It leaves skin glassy and bright, making it perfect for no-makeup makeup days.

Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint

Soft, sheer and smooth - this one has a naturally diffused finish that makes your skin look rested, hydrated and just a bit glowy. Great for anyone who wants tint without shine.

If heavy foundation feels outdated to you, or you want something that works with your skincare, consider this your cue to switch.
