As two experienced beauty editors who take complexion products very seriously - we rate these 9 skin tints more highly than foundation

The best skin tints score must higher for these two beauty editors, including Katie Thomas who is seen here wearing one of them.

There was a time in my life when I wouldn’t step foot outside the door without a full-coverage foundation on. And while I still love the way that the very best foundations can elevate your skin into a smoother, brighter, more even version of itself, on a daily basis I no longer reach for them. Instead, like many of us, I’ve found myself gravitating to a more natural everyday makeup look and rely more heavily on lighter bases like tinted moisturisers or, my new go-to, skin tints.

If you're sat there confused about the difference between foundation, tinted moisturiser and skin tints then you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, we uncover everything you need to know about this trending base product and we’ve spoken to makeup artist Ruby Hammer MBE for expert tips on how to really make the most of your skin tint.
