I never expected five years ago – when it seemed that every beauty image was caked in matte, full-coverage foundation – that one would even be able to buy a tinted oil, much less wear one and be on trend, but I love to see it.
It’s no secret that I favour a sheerer, more natural, dewy finished base, but the rise of the tinted oil gives instant skincare benefits too. Mainly thanks to the use in almost all of them of squalane, a non-greasy, lightweight emollient most often sourced from olives or sugarcane.
