Those with deeper skin tones know the struggle of finding the perfect foundation and BB cream shades with the right undertones. Luckily, brands are expanding their shade ranges making both fair and deep options and everything in between. When it comes to those on the other end of the spectrum, finding the best tinted moisturizer for fair skin can be a bit of a pain. You want lightweight coverage that leaves skin radiant but not too pale or too greasy.
When it comes to undertones, those with fair skin will want to pay attention to whether the product is for neutral, cool or warm tones. The wrong one and your porcelain skin can look orange or your warm skin can look dull. It helps to look for oil-free but radiant options as well. This keeps the multiple tones of your skin vibrant and light-reflecting.
Of course, there’s also a tinted moisturizer for your budget and eco-friendly needs, as well. Find vegan, cruelty-free and clean formulas, as well as ultra-affordable ones you can grab on your next Target run. Shop some of our favorites, below.
