Product Review: Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint
Good skin vibes only – as a healthy, naturally radiant complexion continues to make a bold statement on and off the runway. The best part is that pulling off a gorgeous glow (one that comes from within) really isn’t that hard when you’ve got a solid skincare regimen and the right makeup products on hand!
On the lookout for the next best foundation or tinted moisturizer to add to your collection? When it comes to achieving a natural, dewy glow… you can’t go wrong with Glossier’s Perfecting Skin Tint ($32).
What we love the most about this product? Marketed as a ‘sheer skin enhancer’ – that’s exactly what it does. Unlike most products on the market, the goal here isn’t to cover up your skin.
Rather, the ultra-breathable formula does a phenomenal job at enhancing your natural beauty by brightening up your complexion and evening out any sort of discoloration. As Glossier likes to say, “More skin, less makeup.”
Sheer coverage
This isn’t your typical tinted moisturizer… actually it’s pretty different. This product has an ultra-thin consistency that’s more watery than liquid foundation, but not as creamy as tinted moisturizer.
The coverage is SHEER. Like super sheer. If you’re looking for something with buildable sheer to medium coverage – this isn’t it. And if there are any blemishes or minor imperfections that you want to completely cover up, you’ll definitely have to load up on the concealer or just go with a product that can afford you more coverage.
Ultra-hydrating formula
This skin tint is formulated with glycerin, which helps our skin attract and retain moisture. After applying this skin tint, your skin feels more nourished and hydrated. The texture is comparable to a lightweight lotion and it blends seamlessly into the skin to give our face a smoother, more refined appearance.
What’s great about this skin tint is that it doesn’t look or feel cakey on your face. Your skin can actually breathe! And It doesn’t feel like you’re wearing any makeup at all.
Natural, dewy finish
Formulated with diamond powder, this skin tint illuminates your complexion while giving your face a subtle wash of color to even out your skin tone. It has a subtle blurring effect that minimizes the appearance of pores as well as any sort of discoloration. The dewy finish is very natural, and the end result is a healthy-looking, gorgeous glow.
Cons?
This skin tint is a fantastic product all-around, from the ultra-hydrating formula to the sleek packaging that looks great on any makeup table. But there’s one con and it might be a deal-breaker for some: The bottle is pretty tiny (30 ml to be exact).
Although the price point isn’t anything too crazy for face makeup, the size of the product is relatively small compared to similar products on the market. And since the coverage is pretty sheer, you’ll probably be using a generous amount of product during each application.
That said, this skin tint is an awesome product to have on hand just for those days you want to keep things simple with a healthy, fresh-faced glow!
