I tested the new skin tint that's been trending on my FYP—I highly recommend it, 20 out of 10!

      Alright, I'll be honest. I've never been a fan of skin tints. There, I said it! Some formulas are too sheer for my taste. (I understand they are meant to provide light coverage, but I believe some offer practically none.) Others can be excessively oily, leading to separation on my skin or settling into fine lines and enlarged pores. Then, there are those that wear off so quickly that I find myself needing to reapply them several times during the day. So, I pretty much decided to avoid them, preferring natural-looking foundations and lightweight concealers instead. However, lately, I've come across a new skin tint all over my Instagram and TikTok feeds. Normally, I would just scroll past, but these posts were from reliable content creators and fellow beauty editors who praised it. Their enthusiasm caught my attention, prompting me to put my negative views on skin tints aside and give it a try. Spoiler alert: I'm really glad I did. It provides the perfect "no-makeup makeup" look with a natural finish. Yes, it's true; I've become a reformed skin-tint skeptic. Keep scrolling to see the specific skin tint and my before and after photos.

      Super Boost Lightweight Moisturizing Skin Tint in 02

      This is the skin tint that completely shifted my perspective on this category. Make Up For Ever's Super Boost Lightweight Moisturizing Skin Tint has become a daily essential in my makeup routine. It gives just the right level of coverage to address my redness-prone, discolored skin without appearing obvious or like I'm wearing makeup. It's ideal for "no-makeup makeup" days. The formula also offers genuine skin benefits. With polyglutamic and hyaluronic acids for visible plumping and hydration, plus grapefruit extract to enhance overall skin quality, it feels like a serum-foundation hybrid.

After testing it for over a week, I can confidently say it's neither too oily nor shiny and never accentuates my skin texture or settles into fine lines and large pores. I believe I've found the holy grail of skin tints. Before(Image credit: @kaitlyn_mclintock)My key skin concerns are 1) redness and 2) dark spots and discoloration. After(Image credit: @kaitlyn_mclintock)While it didn’t fully conceal my redness or discoloration, that’s fine because skin tints aren’t meant to do that. They are designed to offer light, skin-perfecting coverage with a natural finish, and this one achieved that. It gives a my-skin-but-better effect without the frustrating traits of other skin tints.
