best tinted moisuriser

[4getmenot]

i need recomendations on tinted moisturiser. I have very dry skin but woule like a bit of a glow. Foundation doesnt go on good over dry skin. Have just bought nivea tinted moisturiser but its very heavy on the skin.

the benefit counter is absolutly brill! its located in your nearest boots/debenhams/selfridges.
They have really good products and will sit and try them on you x

[4getmenot]

not really in a huge town. Our boots doesnt have beauty counters

I've just recommended the The Sanctuary one to somebody on another thread - I should be getting commission!

It's called Sunshine Spa Moisture Lotion and it has a very light self tanner as well as an instant light bronzing effect. I don't find it heavy and it gives a natural looking colour with a little bit of sparkle.

Boots might do a travel size of it so you can give it a go.

unfortunately sanctuary is quite high perfumed for my sensitive skin and dont want anything with self tanner in. God im awkward.

[yinyang]

yes, you are : )

My second favourite is the Boots Natural Collection one. No tanner, not very perfumy and dirt cheap to boot.

simple do a nice tinted moisturiser - and with no perfume! doesn't cost the earth either. the only other natural products i would recommend would be from the body shop (online) or lush (also online) x

I use Olay total effects - touch of foundation... however, I do use a normal moisturiser first, then slick the coloured one on after for better coverage. Blimey, I wish I could afford to buy Benefit stuff!!!

hippy that was other one i picked up today but was tenner and nivea was 4 quid so that won. Nivea one is just very thick and streaky. Might try boots natural collection one. Just need to cover my red uneven tone

I've used this one, it builds up a very light tan http://www.dooyoo.co....y-facial-moisturiser/

hiya stonekicker, didnt mean to leave you out, hope you ok. I may just try them all from ebay

[hippyhoppy]

How about 'diluting' the nivea cream with a regular moisturiser.. might be worth a try rather than wasting it..

[stonekicker]

s'ok, 4get. tinted from body shop is £9 and so light...i use it as my skin breaks out if i put anything remotely thick or gloopy on it x

[hippyhoppy]

stone-k - do Lush do make-up...?! Well, I never knew that and I LOVE Lush!!

[4getmenot]

i always go to body shop parties, try the stuff then get it cheap on ebay next day

[smurfchops]

4getmenot, I agree with hippyhoppy. Put your day moisturiser on like you normally would, then put a few more blobs over your face, and mix the blobs with your moisturiser. This will thin it down and make it more silky and easier to smooth over your face.

[4getmenot]

will try that x

[stonekicker]

hippyhoppy - they do 'colours' and you mix with your fave moisturiser to make foundation. then dusting powders and lip gloss...that's about the extent of it, i'm afraid...x

[4getmenot]

my nam gave me some dark face powder once, i mixed it with talc to lighten then used it. Throughout the day the talc came off and i looked like an oompalumpa

[hippyhoppy]

lol - 4get - how funny!! Right stone.. I'm off to town tomorrow.. sod the fact I have no money.. Lush, here I come!!! ;-)

[stonekicker]

i like the fact that it all smells so edible...x
