1. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer remains a cult-fave product as it is one of the first, and one of the best, in the game. It has light, buildable coverage so you can add a second layer before your dinner date. This moisturizer not only hydrates your skin, but can also plump fine lines with its vitamin complex and sodium hyaluronate formula — aka a water-soluble salt form of hyaluronic acid (which is awesome for your skin)!
2. Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Mineral Face Lotion shields your skin from the sun with its powerful blend of antioxidant-rich, botanical ingredients. It'll leave you with a "no-makeup" look and matte finish. You can even apply this and go for a swim! It's water-resistant for ~80 minutes~ so you'll have glistening skin as gorgeous as a mermaid's.
3. BareMinerals Complexion Rescue puts the "N" in NATURAL hydration. This gel cream provides sheer, refreshing coverage and is loaded with thirst-quenching electrolytes. Check out its ingredient label, you'll find coconut alkanes and plant-based squalane listed in the top five!

If you have enlarged pores, this tinted moisturizer can provide a full, yet lightweight coverage that'll blur pores and make skin appear smoother, firmer, and — most importantly — healthier! There are two ingredients that make this cream stand out: apple and red seaweed extract. Both are filled with an abundance of naturally-derived vitamins and minerals.

6. Dr. Jart+ Black Detox Beauty Balm proves that people who deal with oily skin and acne CAN wear tinted moisturizers flawlessly, as well! It will give you a radiant finish (don't worry, it's not the greasy look), while purifying, calming, and color-correcting your skin. Packed with antioxidants from bearberry and caviar extracts, you're literally one step away from this dark-spot erasing and pollutant-defending gem.

8. Physicians Formula Super CC Cream corrects dark circles, fine lines, sunspots, and blemishes with the fusion of pink, yellow, and green micro color-correcting pigments. Each hue combats a skin concern: pink brightens dull complexions, yellow covers dark spots, and green reduces redness. Look no further for the ultimate *do-it-all* tinted moisturizer.

It's the perfect tinted moisturizer to take on a tropical getaway — hello, SPF 50! Not only will it protect your skin from sun damage, but the collagen, peptides, snail secretion, niacin, and antioxidants all work hand-in-hand to restore elasticity, reduce hyperpigmentation, and combat free-radicals to perk up your complexion.
12. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream melts beautifully onto your skin to create a flawless, even-toned veil without a heavy, cakey feeling. Its water-gel consistency will leave your skin feeling refreshed, especially thanks to its pomegranate extract that'll add a subtle hint of shine. Having lovely skin is NOT a dream, people!
13. Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer balances the skin by removing excess oil from the skin's surface without overdrying it — making this a great choice for combination and oily skin types.
