Last year, I took fought with a few different brands of tinted moisturizers and BB cremes. I loved the Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 out of all of them, but this year I wanted something different. And, with our cold one week, warm and humid the next week weather, it really has affected my skin and my foundation choices. (Side note: I change my foundation to a tinted moisturizer in the fall/winter because my skin shows more dryness patches and to fight the wind, sun and other free radicals.) So far, I have tried Laura Mercier, Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer against the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturizer and the Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint. To be fair, I only tried the Hourglass on a client, I don’t know that I loved it. I really need to try it on my skin. But now I want to try the Dior Hydra Life BB Creme, (hahaha, whoa…. ) there are too many products to choose from. When I go back to Sephora to return the Laura Mercier, I will purchase the Caudalie today. Also asking for couple samples from Hourglass, Dior and any other types my Sephora consultant suggestions. I posted the reasons below for the why and why nots.
Feel free to ask any questions if you have them! Let’s keep this conversation going!
1. Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm = Best SPF coverage, lightweight, light coverage, but a bit oily faster than I like.
2. Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer = SPF smells was very strong, very oily application, then faded into matte. But brought out my lines and got oily pretty quick.
3. Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturizer = lightweight, really light coverage. Blurs imperfections better than previous two products.
This battle to be continued….
