If I had to pick just one product to use for the rest of my life, it would be this one.

      As beauty journalists, we regularly witness hundreds of new beauty products flow through our beauty desk each month. This means we are constantly trying out fresh makeup, skincare, fragrances, and hair care products (yes, we’re quite lucky). However, even with a cupboard full of beauty items, there are always a few steadfast favorites that permanently take up space in our makeup bags. These are the products we remain loyal to, regardless of any enticing new launches. For me, the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint (£39) is a skin tint that I know I will cherish forever.

      **The Formula**

      Lisa Eldridge MBE is among the leading makeup artists globally, having worked with almost every celebrated figure imaginable, so I had complete faith that this formula would be extraordinary. Known for her natural approach to complexions, Eldridge favors applying foundation and complexion products only where they are necessary instead of covering the skin entirely. She has beautifully encapsulated this philosophy in this skin tint. Inside the pebble-shaped bottle is a tint that features a water-like texture, which effortlessly absorbs into the skin, providing a sheer, lightweight finish reminiscent of a second skin without emphasizing enlarged pores or fine lines.

      The formula includes hydrating elements such as squalane, glycerin, and prickly pear and sunflower seed oils. As someone with oily, slightly combination skin, I was initially concerned it might feel too heavy, but it applies beautifully. I prefer a naturally radiant finish, and this skin tint achieves that perfectly. It strikes a balance—neither overly dewy nor too matte—giving the impression of healthy, glowing skin. It's ideal for those with dry or combination skin, yet still suitable for those with oilier skin who appreciate a more luminous look.

      **The Finish**

      What I appreciate about this skin tint is that it delivers just the right level of coverage without feeling like makeup at all. It effectively blurs redness and pigmentation while allowing my freckles to shine through. While the sheer finish may not fully conceal inflamed acne or redness, it’s excellent for everyday makeup, providing a more even skin tone and serving as a great base for applying a touch of concealer where needed. It's the epitome of a “no makeup” makeup tint.

      It holds up remarkably well throughout the day, whether worn alone over SPF or layered with concealer and powder. The finish isn’t overly dewy to fade away nor too matte to cling to dryness. I often experience oiliness around my nose and chin, but this tint lasts all day without becoming oily or cakey—just a light dusting of powder keeps it perfectly set. The extensive shade range accommodates numerous undertones, ensuring a suitable match for various skin tones. Writing this review during the peak of summer when I have a slight tan, shade T7 matches my complexion, which has neutral undertones, perfectly. In summary, I’ll always keep a bottle of this skin tint in my makeup bag.
