Best Tinted Moisturizers 2022

There are several reasons this tinted moisturizer is a bestseller. To start, you don’t have to squeeze into a shade; there are 20 flexible options available. On top of that, it’s infused with macadamia and kukui seed oils and also has SPF 30, so you get light coverage, a full day’s worth of hydration and added sun protection. The cherry on top? It has a soft, dewy finish that works for a variety of skin types.

Don’t let the word “foundation” throw you off. This formula is light on coverage and heavy on good-for-you skincare ingredients—including niacinamide to improve texture and tone, hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin and SPF 40—so it acts more like a serum. What’s even better: It’s free of silicone, fragrance and oils, and comes in 30 shades.

This Beautycounter product is on the pricier side but completely worth it. It uses ingredients like vitamin C to help improve skin tone, radiance, firmness and elasticity over time. And it provides sheer coverage that won’t define or set into lines and wrinkles.
