During summer, the last thing we want is to be wearing heavy makeup out and about or to the beach, because there is nothing worse than having a heavy foundation melt off your face. Having a little bit of coverage is always nice, especially if it has the added benefits of protecting your skin from the sun. A Tinted SPF is a great compromise between coverage and protection, so we have picked out some of our favourite tinted SPF options to suit different skin types and budgets.
Best Cult Classic
The Mecca Cosmetica In Good Light Face Tint ($47) is our pick for the cult classic of tinted SPFs. This product has key ingredients of Hyaluronic Acid for maintaining hydration levels in the skin and Vitamin E to help strengthen the skin’s barrier. It is also SPF 30 to protect against UVA and UVB rays in a lightweight, non-greasy formula. This product is free from GMOs, mineral oil, synthetic colours, BHT and BHA, Triclosan, talc and is vegan.
