If you hate wearing heavy foundation daily but your skin can't deal with the ultra-hydrating formulas of tinted moisturizers and tinted sunscreens, we have the answer for you: skin tints! Skin tints give your complexion a "your-skin-but-better" look without feeling or looking mabigat. Before we recommend you our picks, here's a refresher on how a skin tint is different from a tinted moisturizer and a tinted sunscreen:
Skin Tint vs Tinted Moisturizer vs Tinted Sunscreen
A skin tint is a lightweight foundation that may or may not contain SPF protection. They usually have a buildable coverage with a natural or matte finish. Tinted moisturizers, meanwhile, provide complexions with minimal coverage and maximum hydration. And last, a tinted sunscreen is a base product that gives barely any coverage but comes with high SPF protection.
Now that you know how different the three are, here are amazing skin tint options you can try, depending on your budget!
1. BLK Skin Tint Sun Shield SPF 30
BLK's Skin Tint will give your complexion a fresh, hydrated appearance. It leaves a natural finish on the skin and can lightly cover old acne marks, dark spots, and redness. P.S. Just because this product contains SPF doesn't mean you shouldn't apply a separate sunscreen before. Check out our favorite sunscreens here.
2. Finn The Label Dewy Skin Tint SPF10
This all-natural skin tint is made from locally-sourced ingredients. The formula instantly melts into your complexion to give it a perfected, but not cakey look. It comes in 10 shades so Pinays with fair, light, medium, tan, and brown complexions can find their perfect match.

Perfect for all skin types—especially combination and oily skin—the H2O Skintint is a breathable base that can create a flawless-looking finish. No one will ever suspect you're actually wearing makeup!

6. Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Perfector Blurring Skin Tint
Like a foundation but not really," that is how I would describe this product. The Ultra HD Perfector's satin finish makes the skin look hydrated and plump. It effortlessly blends into the skin, doesn't make the face appear greasy, and in my experience, can last all day and night.
