My opinions of tinted moisturisers in general tend to flip flop quite a bit, mostly because I find they act as “lighter” foundations, rather than actually moisturisers with a tint to them. I really have no idea if it’s all in the mind or actually legitimate.
Either way, I think Clinique provided this tinted moisturiser for me during MBBE last year! I’m 99% sure they did, but I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes so I can’t really remember. Either way, for reference I’m using the lightest shade available here in 01 and it’s a perfect match to me.
You can apply with this your hands, I personally preferred a brush. The coverage is not surprisingly very light. You can see in the photos below that the difference between the side that has coverage and the side that doesn’t isn’t massively different. At a glance you probably couldn’t tell there was a difference at all, all it really has done is slightly even out my skin tone, and soften my freckles.
However I did find the formula to be pretty hydrating, it didn’t leave my skin dry, in fact it left it feeling just a little oily. Though I found the “oily” factor to be no different from my typical moisturiser that contains SPF, which I think is the real reason for the oil factor. If you don’t want any shine, then just dust over a bit of face powder and you should be right to go. It lasted me all day without sinking into my skin.
If you’re looking for a moisturiser with SPF protection that comes with just a little bit of coverage, this would be perfect. I think this would be great for work thanks to it’s very natural finish. You can purchase this for $27US at Nordstrom you’re USA based or $50AU from Clinique Online, Myer, David Jones or selected chemists.
This is one of the Tinted Moisturizer I used the most or the Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer. I really like the Clinique, this is one for the days when I’m in a hurry. I really like how hydrating this is and was planning to get some back ups.
I received the Clinque tinted moisturizer in a sample gift pack! Freaking loving it so far!
Woo! It’s lovely 😀
This sounds like a great product, I’m hunting for some really good tinted moisturisers at the moment as I prefer to wear them in the summer months rather than foundation.
I love the texture of this product but I found even the shade 01was a bit too pink for my neutral skin tone. I am NC20 from Mac.
