The tinted moisturiser loved by Jennifer Aniston – yours, for £98
I have never really bothered with tinted moisturisers. It's not that I didn't see the appeal – I love the idea of a hybrid make-up product that shaves time off my morning routine and promises the look of real skin, only better. The problem was, until recently, most of the products that fell into the 'tinted moisturiser' category were either too foundation-like in finish or so sheer I'd still need a proper concealer to do the heavy lifting under my eyes, or for any areas of redness. Then there's the textures, which would slip and slide all over the place so that my skin would be a shiny mess come midday. (And that's without any summer heatwaves.) But my mind has been changed. The old-fashioned tinted moisturiser has been reimagined, with utterly brilliant 'skin tints' now part of the wider family. Take Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint (£37, Liberty), which launched last year. I am a huge fan of most of Eldridge's make-up products, and this tint gives enough coverage to even out the skin tone without looking cakey. A couple of drops are all you need, but if you feel you require more, it is truly buildable. I find this is best applied with a brush, starting from the centre of the face and working your way out, depending on how much you want to use. A pricier option is the Super Tinted Hydrator by U Beauty (£98, Cult Beauty), which Jennifer Aniston recently declared one of her summer beauty must-haves. Having tried it, I agree it's brilliant, but at almost £100 it's an awful lot to spend on a skin tint. If you're considering it, think of this product as a really effective face cream with added make-up as a bonus. It is supremely moisturising, so I would skip your ordinary face cream and just apply this (over sun protection in the daytime, of course). One pump is plenty for your whole face. The option I've been really taken with of late is the Hydro Grip Gel Tint by Milk Makeup (£34, Boots). It's an extension of the brand's bestselling Hydro Grip Primer, which is one of the best primers on the market (it really does allow your make-up to stay in place all day). The tint is equally impressive: it grips on to the skin, making it particularly good in warmer weather, and imparts a decent amount of coverage. It feels fresh and hydrating, too, and if you are really keen to ensure that your make-up looks as good at the end of the day as it does in the morning, sandwich this product in between the primer and the brand's Hydro Grip setting spray. This has become my go-to complexion technique when the weather hits the 30s in London. Now, I can't write about skin tints without mentioning the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick by Charlotte Tilbury (£35, John Lewis). If you're a fan of Tilbury's award-winning Hollywood Flawless Filter – the sheeny lotion that comes in a glass bottle and imparts a glowy finish on the skin – I'd say that this is a portable stick version of it. It doesn't give tons of coverage, but then it doesn't need to: it gives the skin a blurring, luminous, hydrated look. In other words, you're left with a complexion that appears smooth and well-rested. When I spoke to her at the product's launch, Tilbury advised that I try a shade deeper than my usual colour in her foundations for a more summery, bronzed effect. And because the coverage is sheer, it works a treat. No filter required. Three more to try

I Wore This Tinted Sunscreen in Place of Foundation Every Day on My Turks and Caicos Vacation—and It's Only $20
As a carry-on-only packer, I approach my toiletry bag with a discerning eye. While I love a full glam moment—after all, I've been a writer and editor at women's lifestyle magazines for over a decade—I like to keep things simple on vacation. A smaller makeup bag also leaves more room for other travel essentials (like extra shoes and spare outfits, of course). So when Versed's Multi-serum Skin Tint SPF 40 launched, I was instantly intrigued. I've trusted Versed for years. The brand consistently delivers effective skincare at an approachable price, and its skin tint combines foundation and mineral SPF 40 into one multitasking base layer to create a lightweight no-brainer for beach vacations. It's formulated with reef-safe zinc oxide and hyaluronic acid adds a boost of hydration. $20 at Target $20 at I took it with me on a recent trip to Turks and Caicos. Bringing a brand-new product on vacation is always a bit of a gamble, but I was impressed from the first use. The texture is thicker than my usual foundation, but it is still smooth and blendable. I'd compare it more to a full-coverage foundation than a tinted moisturizer, which means you need less product than expected, and it doesn't feel greasy or leave a white cast. It sank right in and didn't feel heavy, all while covering redness and acne scars, so I didn't feel the need to layer any other makeup on top. I wore it for a full day in the sun, and the full coverage helped me feel protected from the intense UV index. Even speeding through the turquoise water in high winds, it didn't pill or sweat off. I reapplied a more traditional sunscreen later in the day (for convenience), but when I got back to my villa, my skin still looked blurred, and I hadn't burned. $20 at Target $20 at Another reason this National Rosacea Society-approved product earned a permanent spot in my travel makeup case? It plays well with others. My go-to blush and highlighter layered smoothly over it without pilling. Available in 14 shades with cool, warm, and neutral undertone options, I first tried shade 3P, which ended up being too light, especially once my skin picked up some sun. Shade 5N (a light-medium with neutral undertones) was just right. Some reviewers say the formula feels oily at first, and I felt that initially, too. But it quickly absorbed into a matte, weightless finish. I'm not the only fan. Despite this being a newer product, it already has glowing reviews from people with different skin types. One shopper with an 'aging, uneven skin tone' called it 'the most natural skin tint SPF' they've used. Another reviewer with sensitive, combination skin said it gives their 'tan skin just enough color to look polished and pulled together on a low-key day.' $20 at Target $20 at Overall, shoppers love its long-lasting, natural-looking finish. 'Okay, so this is my skin, but better! The fact that this skin tint feels like nothing is the most important thing to me,' one reviewer shared. 'With the added skincare ingredients, it's just chef's kiss.' She even noted her sister planned to buy her own after trying it. At just $20 for a formula that combines skincare, SPF, and foundation, this Versed skin tint is an easy win for your travel toiletry bag.
