'I usually avoid full coverage foundations but L'Oreal's new launch has changed my mind'
Mirror's shopping writer Grace swears by hydrating skin tints for her everyday base, but can L'Oreal's new full coverage 2-in-1 foundation and concealer compete? When it comes to foundation and base products, I've already leaned towards lower coverage skin tints. I love the hydrated, non-cakey finish they tend to leave on the skin. My go-tos include Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint, £42, Sculpted By Aimee's Hydra Tint, £23, and Revolution's ultra-affordable Skin Blur Soft Focus Skin Tint, £5. However, recently I've been on the hunt for a fuller coverage foundation for those days when I'm looking for a little extra polish or want my makeup to last from the office straight through to post-work drinks. After trialling a few that felt thick, drying, and heavy, I finally stumbled on a winner. The product that's earned its spot in my routine is L'Oreal Paris' new Infallible Skin Ink 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer, priced at a purse-friendly £14.99. This clever 2-in-1 hybrid acts as both a foundation and concealer, offering buildable coverage with a soft matte finish that still feels lightweight and breathable on the skin What I love about this complexion product is that it's designed to blend seamlessly, leaving behind no unwanted lines or patches, so your skin still looks like skin, just smoother. At the same time, it delivers more coverage than a skin tint or tinted moisturiser, effectively covering spots, pigmentation, or blemishes without feeling cakey. And because it's a two-in-one product, it cuts out the need to layer concealer on top, helping to keep your base fresh and natural. It also uses fusion technology to give coverage that stays put for up to 48 hours, meaning no midday touch-ups are needed. Another bonus is that it makes a great handbag product to carry around due to its compact and small size. As I mentioned, touch-ups aren't really needed. However, if you're in the office and want a little extra coverage for the evening, you can easily slot this in your bag and use it on the go thanks to its handy doe-foot applicator. My skin is oilier, so if you have very dry skin, you might struggle with this product clinging to dry patches. To combat this, I make sure my skin is fully prepped with a hydration moisturiser and a milky toner or serum underneath. My favourite ones are BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, Curel's Moisture Facial Milk, £20, and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, £15.50. I love the glow they give and how much they moisturise the skin, especially when prepping it for make-up.

The best skin tints for summer 2025
It's that time of year when temperatures rise, the sun hopefully makes a more regular appearance (I hope I'm not jinxing our famously chaotic Irish summers here) and the urge to wear lighter, glowier make-up comes to the fore. Out go the full-coverage foundations and in their place we reach more often for skin tints and tinted moisturisers. I use skin tints year round, not just in summer. Maybe it's an age thing but these days I find myself gravitating towards lighter coverage that still delivers a fresh, dewy finish. I want skin that looks like skin – just a bit more radiant. Here are four standout options for summer, all boasting skincare-loaded formulas, just enough coverage (and in some cases a little more) and, most importantly, a finish that looks like your skin only better. And who doesn't want that? Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint Moisturising Tinted Serum SPF20 Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint (€25 at Boots and First up is Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint. Although it's only been on the market for a few years, it's already nearing cult status. This truly is one of the best skincare-meets-make-up hybrids available, which is why it's a product I recommend again and again. READ MORE Affordable at just €25 and with 20 shades to choose from, HydraTint is a serum-like base that provides just enough coverage to reduce redness and even out skin tone, while its soothing, moisture-boosting formula (ceramides, centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and more) keeps your skin hydrated and comfortable, both immediately and throughout the day. Poco Beauty Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation SPF50 Poco Beauty Skintuition Foundation (€32 from If you're looking for slightly more coverage but still want a feather-light feel and skincare benefits, look no further than Poco Beauty's Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation (€32 from Poco Beauty) – the second home-grown brand on this list. With a slightly thicker texture, it blends like a cream but feels like a serum on the skin. The coverage is medium and very buildable, and it's available in eight stretchable shades (with more on the way, according to founder Pippa O'Connor). The ingredients list is impressive too: niacinamide, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid – all working together to brighten, hydrate, and improve skin texture over time. Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) Aside from its lightweight, fluid formula that delivers a glossy, skin-like finish, Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) is a particularly excellent choice for those prone to redness or sensitivity. Along with moisture-boosting ingredients like glycerine, squalane and hyaluronic acid, it also contains tiger grass – a powerful ingredient known for calming, soothing, and reducing the appearance of inflammation. Available in 12 shades, this tint, like Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint, is a whack-on-and-go serum-like formula – excellent for applying in a hurry with a brush or fingertips. Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF50 Supergoop! Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty) One of the newer products on this list, Supergoop! is known for its excellent range of sunscreens designed to suit all skin types and concerns. The most recent addition to their line-up is the excellent Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty). This is for you if you prefer more of a wash of colour (and still pretty decent coverage) combined with high-factor broad-spectrum SPF protection. Available in 14 shades, it's a clever hybrid formulation containing both chemical and mineral UV filters, along with hyaluronic-acid-infused clay that absorbs oil while keeping skin hydrated, and ectoin – a powerful amino acid that protects the skin barrier and helps reduce inflammation. This week I'm loving … Lush Seanik Shampoo Bar Lush Cosmetics Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush) In July this year, Lush Cosmetics celebrates its 30th birthday – and its 25th year since opening a store in Ireland. To celebrate, I reintroduced myself to one of my all-time favourite Lush products: Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush). Made with sea salt and Irish moss seaweed, it delivers bouncy, shiny hair that feels squeaky clean. The bar lasts for what feels like several hundred washes.
