My Fine Lines and Pores Are Gone Thanks to These 8 Blurring Skin Tints

Frankly, my skin should look far worse than it does—I drink more coffee than water, sleep scant hours, and graze on granola bars more than greens. I often wake up to ruddiness, flakiness, and fine lines, exacerbated by dehydration, among other imperfections. That said, I’ve tried countless skin tints—including BB Creams, CC Creams, and tinted moisturizers—and whittled my collection to formulas so stellar, you’d believe I guzzle green juice on the reg. As I’ve entered my 30s, my fine lines have become increasingly apparent, so blurring properties—in addition to the dewiness for which skin tints are categorically praised—top my list of requirements in a formula. The below eight options tick all my boxes, and they’re conveniently all available on Amazon starting at $8.

8 Best Skin Tints at Amazon:

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream

My holy grail of skin tints is this CC Cream, or color-correcting cream, which mitigates sallow undertones, reduces redness, and delivers a velvety skin finish; neither matte nor dewy, it’s, true to its name, simply skin-like. Hyaluronic acid, a moisture-loving molecule, plumps fine lines on contact, while pore-whittling niacinamide improves skin over time. The formula features an impressive SPF 50—sans chalky residue or the telltale whiff of sunscreen-scent. Unsurprisingly, it’s Amazon’s best-selling CC cream, and boasts more than 20,000 five-star ratings.

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer

I knew I had to get my hands on this skin tint when it made waves on social media—and it exceeded expectations in spite of the hype. The gellike cream is among the lightest, grease-free formulas I’ve tried and wears weightlessly, like a second skin in both look and feel. SPF 30, hyaluronic acid, and squalene deliver anti-aging protection and notably plumper, dewier skin with a silky finish. I wear the product on its own during the day and layer foundation over top when I’m heading out for the night.

L’Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion

More an illuminator than a skin tint, this ultra-popular cream delivers instant radiance—sans sparkle or glitter—making it among the most natural-looking glow-boosters I’ve used. (FWIW: Martha Stewart, Helen Mirren, and Kendall Jenner are also fans.) Frankly, I’d pay significantly more than $8 for this liquid magic, which I use more frequently than similar products from pricier brands. Mix it with foundation for a lit-from-within look, wear on its own for a post-facial glow, or dab onto the high points of your face for a dose of delicate dewiness.

Maybelline Dream Fresh Skin Hydrating BB Cream

If I forget to pack complexion products on a trip, I’d be comforted by the fact that this BB cream is readily available at many drugstores. Despite its sub-$10 price tag, it rivals luxury formulas with its smoothing, blurring properties. Furthermore, it contains skincare ingredients, which, in a pinch, cover my bases (if I happen to forget skincare, too). True to its name, this BB cream fakes a fresh-faced, well-rested complexion in seconds. 

Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint

If it’s sheerness you seek, look no further than this barely there wash of lightweight color. The liquid formula blends tracelessly into skin, where it bestows evenness that’s far from makeup-y. Cakiness is a non-issue with the hydrating formula, which keeps my perpetually parched skin supple for hours.
