beauty mark: tinted moisturizer
they have you covered.
BB and CC creams may be the trendy alternative to foundation, but it’s worth revisiting the OG of sheer face base: tinted moisturizer. Lighter than foundation, with the skin-improving ingredients of said alphabetical makeup but generally with more shade options, tinted moisturizer is just the thing for the steamy season. It softens imperfections without feeling heavy or mask-like. So lighten up this summer with these ten winning formulas.
