Beauty Expert's Guide to Tinted Moisturisers

Tinted moisturisers are a classic makeup staple! While foundations are great, they can often be a little heavy when it comes to achieving a more natural daytime look. Lighter in texture, yet available in various coverage’s, tinted moisturisers have come a long way since they were first launched into the beauty world. Perfect for warmer temperatures, a more natural look, or used just as a brightening tool, tinted moisturisers hydrate and protect the skin, all while offering a sheer-looking coverage.
