It’s time to have summer glowing skin, and the last thing you want on your face is a ton of makeup. Because of rising temperatures, makeup can make you feel hotter and more often than not the cakey face emerges. Summer is the time to show off your skin and bare your natural beauty. Say goodbye to heavy coverage and hello to one of summer’s best tools for a more natural look — the perfect tinted moisturizer.
Wearing a tinted moisturizer gives you great coverage along with a light airy feel. Skin looks fresh and clean with the right amount of natural glow coming through. Many are oil-free and most of them now contain some amount of SPF. These moisturizers can even out your skin tone and often contain nutrients and anti-oxidants that help repair your skin. Some tinted moisturizers push up the glow factor, if you are looking to achieve a “dewy” look. It’s great to use tinted moisturizers when you are outdoors or on the beach because they’re easy to apply and make your skin feel cooler.
CitySaheli tried and tested many of the tinted moisturizers available in the market. This is what we found worked especially well with South Asian skin tones:
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer  – InStyle magazine “Best of Beauty” awarded this as the best tinted moisturizer in April 2009. Packed with SPF 20 this lightweight moisturizer has a hint of color that works well as a foundation substitute. With ten shades to choose from, you are bound to find the color that works best with your skin.
Laura Mercier Illuminating Moisturizer—If you are looking for that “dewy” look, this is a great tinted moisturizer to invest in. It works best blending with other moisturizers. This is one moisturizer that is guaranteed to make you glow!
Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer  – Bobbi Brown often has many colors that work well with South Asian skin tones. This also holds true for its moisturizer. It has a clean look and great sheer coverage.
Dermalogica Tinted Moisturizer—With SPF 15 and oil free, this compact -packaged moisturizer is smooth and provides great coverage. It comes in 3 colors, so depending on your skin tone, you may need to blend two different colors to make the right color combination. It works especially well with sensitive skin.
