Makeup Reviews: Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer

Stila Tinted Moisturizer ReviewFull coverage foundation has been feeling too heavy lately – I’m in for a more natural look, so I’ve been sampling a lot of tinted moisturizers lately. I tried Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer in Light, since I’m a big fan of the brand in general and hoped it would measure up to BeneFit You Rebel and Sugartint.

The color was a perfect match for my skin (fair with slightly warm/yellow undertones), and I was impressed with Stila’s choice of different shades, since some tinted moisturizers who shall not be named offer only one or two color options. The product blended seamlessly with my skin, and though it seemed thick, it didn’t feel heavy to wear. (It was just the teensiest bit sticky, though.)

Sugar Cosmetics Sugartint Tinted Moisturizer Review

Sugar Cosmetics Sugartint Tinted Moisturizer ReviewKeeping on the tinted moisturizer theme, I tried Sugar Cosmetics’ Sugar Tint oil-free tinted moisturizer and I’m a bit confused. How exactly are cosmetics companies differentiating between tinted moisturizer and foundation now? This and You Rebel were both quite thick and offered a lot of coverage (not that I’m complaining).

This product applies a lot like BeneFit You Rebel too; the texture is thick and creamy, and a little goes a long way. If you use too much, you’ll know it, and it’s not hard to do. The coverage is a lot heavier than your traditional tinted moisturizer (just call it foundation already!) – it was enough for me to wear over my undereye circles and acne. I always feel good when I wear SPF, so both products give me that “I’m doing something for my skin and I look hot” glee.

Makeup Reviews: BeneFit You Rebel Lite

Benefit Cosmetics You Rebel Lite ReviewBenefit Cosmetics You Rebel Lite Tinted Moisturizer ReviewI love tinted moisturizers in general, so I decided to try BeneFit’s You Rebel Lite. I find the whole “tinted moisturizer” thing to be a bit of a misnomer for You Rebel Lite, as this product has the consistency and coverage closer to a light foundation. And the “Lite” isn’t an indication of texture, either – they released this version after complaints from fair-skinned babes that the original You Rebel was a bit too dark, so the name is all about the color. It’s not any less thick and creamy than the original.

Milani Tinted Moisturizer Review

Milani Tinted Moisturizer ReviewI love the idea of not having to ever wear foundation (even if it’s Chanel), so I’m naturally attracted to using a tinted moisturizer as a base for everyday. I’d tried Clinique City Block before and loved it, so I thought I might be able to cheat and nab the drugstore version. I bought it in Beige, and it worked great – felt silky to apply and looked matte, refreshing since my City Block’s very shimmery. However…the other shoe had yet to drop.

Here’s the negative stuff: unfortunately, after only having it for a couple of weeks, the tinted moisturizer started to congeal and get crumbly. Eww!! Worse, it began looking streaky and the color changed to a slightly darker shade. Ugh. Maybe it was an older product that the drugstore should have taken off the shelves, but I’m not impressed with any product that gets old and gross that quickly.

The verdict: 4/10– sure, it started out fine, but the negatives outweighed the positives on this one.

Milani Tinted Moisturizer sells at Amazon for $4.43, if you want to chance it.
