My Favorite Clean Tinted Moisturizers And CC Creams
These are my favorite tinted moisturizers and cc (color-correcting) creams that I’ve tried so far. I only recommend products I love and use myself. Scroll to the bottom for a link to my Tinted Moisturizer/CC Creams playlist on YouTube!

Why I Love It
This is an ultra lightweight serum that provides medium to full coverage (for me). It is skin-like and looks very natural. I have found that I can build the coverage up pretty easily or sheer it out. For me, it is best to apply this when my skin has been exfoliated and hydrated well, so that it doesn’t stick to any dry spots.
Tips
I apply this using my fingers. Since it is so thin, I don’t apply it to a makeup sponge directly, as it seems to sink into the sponge. I find that it’s easiest to blend using the warmth of my fingers.

Why I Love It
This is the same price as the Han CC. The formula is like a thicker lotion that is quite hydrating. I wear this on days I’m feeling dry and only want light coverage. When I wear this, I notice that my skin tone is more even, but my undertone still peeks through.Â
Tips
This can be applied using a brush, sponge, or your fingers. If you have combo or oily skin, I would wear powder over this.

Why I Love It
I am in love with Suntegrity 🙂 This is a sheer coverage SPF that evens out the skin tone for a barely-there or no-makeup look. Like their foundation (my favorite!), it is super hydrating and gives skin a supple look.
