I ran out of moisturizer this morning and need to get a new one. lately I've been mixing my foundation in with it and I love the way it looks. If I just get a tinted moisturizer, would that be about the same? Or will it be less coverage or less moisture? I've been using about 2 parts moisturizer to one part foundation.
I love the tinted moisturizer that Neutrogena has out. I usually put regular moisturizer on first and then follow up with the tinted moisturizer. So it's kind of what you're saying, two parts moisturizer and one part foundation. I don't know the name of the tinted moisturizer but it's the one that has retinol, moisturizer, and SPF in it. I really love it. HTH!
ETA:
I was referring to the Healthy Skin Enhancer Tint:
i think it would be lprobably less moisture and definitely less coverage if you got just a regular tinted moisturizer. i use tinted moisturizer sometimes but always moisturize first with a regular moisturizer. i would say if you like what you're doing keep it up. some people mix bare escentuals foundation with their moisturizer (just an idea).
i would say it depends on the tinted moisturizer. some have less coverage and some have less moisture. lauren hutton's good stuff tinted moisturizer is really good. also i like dvf moisture tint. it is also really nice. i didn't really like neutragena's tinted moisturizer. to me it felt sticky and grimey and the colors were very gray yellow. it's the neutragena skin clearing clean tint.
I love the stila tinted moisturizer and it comes in different shades. I don't see much of a difference in coverage but the regular foundation I use is also by Stila and its not very thick. I hate thick foundations.
i tried this one too and felt the same way about it. i didn't like the feeling of it and the color was just off. it seemed gray. it felt like it would clog my pores so badly and it was like i had been sweating all day and didn't wash my face after.
I use the clinique tinted moisturizer and I really like it. I usually put on moisturizer first, and then apply the clinique stuff. As for coverage, you can layer it for more coverage if you need to.
ok, if I'd still need to use mositurizer, I'll keep doing what I've been doing. i was tryign to cut out a step, but why mess with a good thing if its just as much work?

ditto to all of this.
