16 Best Tinted Moisturizers With SPF, Reviewed by Dermatologists & Makeup Artists

Lujan recommends BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer Hydrating Gel Cream SPF 30 because it’s oil-free and noncomedogenic (meaning it wont clog pores). “This is a lightweight, buildable-to-medium-coverage skin tint and will boost hydration without the addition of oils,” Lujan says. Glamour contributor Brigitt Earley has turned to this product for years, noting it was one of the few products that didn’t cause breakouts when her skin was extra temperamental when she was a teen and again during pregnancy. She says, “I like that it offers a little bit more coverage than your average tinted moisturizer too.”

Key ingredients: Squalane, hyaluronic acid, titanium dioxide / Finish: Natural / Coverage: Light / Shades: 20

• Pros: Oil-free; lightweight but offers coverage; leaves skin soft and silky
• Cons: Some users say the formula is too thick.

Tower28 SunnyDays SPF tinted sunscreen foundation won the Glamour Beauty Award for top clean foundation, and since it’s so lightweight, we consider it closer to a tinted moisturizer with SPF than foundation. “I didn’t expect to fall in love with this Tower 28 tinted sunscreen foundation, mainly because most tinted sunscreens soak right into my skin and offer no real coverage,” says Glamour’s Radloff. “If I’m buying something that’s tinted, whether it’s a sunscreen or a foundation, you’d better believe I want coverage! And this does it perfectly. My skin looks airbrushed and smooth, making it easier to apply bronzer and blush, and it lasts all day. I’m obsessed.”

Key ingredients: Zinc oxide, white sage extract, prickly pear extract / Finish: Natural / Coverage: Light / Shades: 17

Dr. Garshick recommends this Saie Slip Tint tinted moisturizer because it contains, “ hyaluronic acid to hydrate and licorice root to brighten and is easy to apply.” Testers love it because it leaves skin dewy and fresh, even if you have parched skin. “I use this regularly, because it works well on my dry, flaky skin,” says Glamour contributor Shanna Shipin.

Both Dr. Garshick and Glamour staff writer Hanna Lustig love the Colorescience Sunforgettable Face Shield Flex. “While technically not listed as a tinted moisturizer, this lightweight broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide 12%, iron oxide, antioxidants, and a patented Enviroscreen technology to protect against UVA and UVB, blue light, pollution, and infrared radiation, while hydrating the skin,” says Dr. Garshick. “It’s available in four different shades, making it easy to blend with your skin for natural coverage, and uses iron oxide pigments to adapt to your specific tone, without leaving the skin feeling greasy, so it’s ideal for all skin types.”

“This trusty tint might be the only product I use everyday regardless of season or context,” Lustig says. “Oily-skin girlies, don’t let the cushiony texture deter you! The formula is hydrating enough to glide over dry patches and problem areas, but within minutes it dries down to a semi-matte finish with surprisingly substantial coverage.”

Key ingredients: Zinc oxide, iron oxides, lipochroman, Vital ET, InfraGuard / Finish: Natural / Coverage: Medium / Shades: 4

“I’m picky about my sunscreen—it’s pretty much the only product I apply on a daily basis—and this lightweight moisturizer is a new favorite of mine,” says Glamour commerce editor Jake Smith. “It’s the rare SPF that absorbs instantly and doesn’t leave any trace of greasiness behind. It blends seamlessly into my pale skin, giving me the very slightest glow. Plus, it offers broad-spectrum protection from the sun’s rays and from visible light. I couldn’t ask for much more, even at this price point.” And yes, you can use it in place of primer or foundation.

“Live Tinted Hueguard has become a mainstay in my beauty routine,” says Glamour senior beauty editor Ariana Yaptangco. “This mineral SPF makes it easy to apply sunscreen without having to think about it, since it serves as both primer and moisturizer. On days when I don’t feel like wearing makeup, I’ll slather this on, and it gives my face a subtle, filter-like coverage. I also need to shout out the fact that this is a mineral sunscreen, which is very difficult to formulate without a white cast. It’s no surprise that this one works, given the brand was built around creating beauty products for women of color.”

Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, titanium dioxide, iron oxides / Finish: Natural / Coverage: Full / Shades: 1

• Pros: Lightweight; nongreasy; no white cast; vegan; cruelty-free; fragrance-free

It Cosmetics CC+ Cream is the epitome of a multitasking product: It works as a full-coverage foundation, color correcting concealer, and hydrating serum, while offering SPF 50+. “I truly don’t know how this product does it,” says Shipin. “The buildable formula has a high SPF and gives you that no-makeup makeup look, but still manages to leave pores unclogged and skin feeling weightless.” Plus, the company just expanded the shade range to include 22 options.

Lujan loves using Supergoop as a base under tinted moisturizer, while Glamour’s Yaptangco loves wearing it solo for brightening coverage and SPF—especially on vacation. “Beach vacations are the best vacations, which is problematic for me personally for a number of reasons: I’m on prescription retinol, which leaves my skin super vulnerable to UV rays; my skin is tan, so any white cast from sunscreen almost always shows up; and I want to look cute in all my vacation photos but don’t want to melt in full makeup,” she says. “SuperGoop’s sunscreen addresses all these problems, with strong SPF 40 coverage, zero white cast, and the most beautiful glowy, sun-kissed tint.”

Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, vitamin B, sea lavender, cocoa peptides, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene / Finish: Radiant / Coverage: Light / Shades: 4

“Most lightweight tinted moisturizers make me look like I just came from bathing in bacon grease, but this Summer Fridays sheer skin tint somehow makes my complexion look supple, healthy, and oh so dewy, while blurring imperfections and toning down my rosacea-induced redness. This is my go-to on days when I don’t feel like wearing a full face of makeup but want to put on a little something to elevate and even out my look. Pair it with a luscious lip balm for the ultimate dewy and glowy look,” says Glamour associate beauty editor Danielle Sinay.

“This all-in-one mineral sunscreen and moisturizer is a great option for daily use,” says Dr. Garshick. “It contains antioxidants to help fight free-radical damage and protect the skin from other environmental stressors.

Five Glamour editors raved about the Kosas BB Burst. Described by the brand as “my skin with a little extra,” this lightweight tinted moisturizer is a gel-cream that hydrates skin with such ingredients as collagen-boosting copper peptides, smoothing saccharide isomerate, moisture-retaining sodium PCA, and calming zinc oxide. It comes in an impressive 24-shade range and promises buildable coverage with a smooth and natural finish. “Personally, I haven’t been able to stop texting my friends about how much I love it. It feels more like a second skin than product. I wear it alone for a no-makeup makeup look or as primer with a full face. And perhaps best of all, this tint lasts all day long, no matter how greasy I get,” says Glamour’s Sinay.

Key ingredients: Copper peptides, saccharide isomerate, sodium PCA, zinc / Finish: Natural / Coverage: Light / Shades: 24

• Pros: Long-wear formula; lightweight; applies effortlessly; great shade range
• Cons: Some testers had to try multiple shades before they found the perfect match.

“This sunscreen not only offers broad-spectrum protection but also provides a natural tint while also nourishing the skin, as it contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E,” says Dr. Garshick. “It’s lightweight, oil-free, easily absorbed, and great for all skin types.” Our testers gave it glowing reviews too. “I recently started using the Drmtlgy Universal Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 46 and love the smooth texture and glowy finish,” says Meg Kernahan, Condé Nast senior manager of commerce partnerships. “I used to find it difficult to incorporate an SPF into my skin care routine that had a clean formulation and didn’t leave a white tint, and this product is a perfect solution. I love how easily the rest of my makeup blends with it if I want fuller coverage, too.”

“If I need to condense steps into one product, I will opt for the Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30,” says Lujan. “It has a higher SPF, which will help protect skin from around 96% of UVB rays, though you still want to avoid the sun and reapply throughout the day.” I use it when I want flawless light coverage that looks and feels like skin. I like that it's both fragrance- and oil-free and blurs imperfections while brightening and hydrating at the same time, leaving you looking and feeling your best.”
