Tinted SPF vs Foundation: We've Got A Clear Winner, Folks!
Tinted SPF foundations have managed to carve a niche for themselves in the category of double duty products. Here are our recommendations of the best ones...
Skincare-infused makeup has been taking Instagram by storm. From local brands to big players, everyone has been infusing hydrating, brightening and anti-ageing ingredients into their products. This trend is great for skincare aficionados and even fans of minimalist makeup, but it's not exactly thrilling news for the neglected foundation bottle at the bottom of your makeup bag.

Yes, things have changed drastically over the years. While we've made significant strides and now havesome excellent foundations available, they're still not quite right for the clean girl, dewy dumpling look that many of us love today.
Various factors contribute to this shift in preferences, including the intense, makeup-melting heat. As temperatures rise globally, the idea of a full face of makeup becomes less appealing, and the importance of SPF skyrockets. The message has been clear for ages: never leave the house without SPF.

We now see SPF in everything from setting powders to setting sprays but tinted SPF seems to be a hot favourite amongst all.
Why? It's simple. We live in the era of quick 'Get ready with me' videos and, let's be real, who wants to wear multiple layers of base products on an everyday basis when all you crave is natural dewy-looking skin that looks effortlessly radiant with minimal effort and time? An all-in-one product like SPF skin tint is a blessing for those always on the go. With one application, you're covering primer, SPF, and foundation. How cool is that? It's 2024, we're moving away from hiding behind high-coverage products and embracing our bare skin, with all its imperfections, and letting it breathe. On top of it all, tinted SPF provides extra sun protection compared to regular SPF and leaves zero white cast.
We’ve narrowed down our favourite tinted sunscreens to help you look like a dewy dumpling and give you the best sun protection...
