Hot weather and heavy foundation do not mix and spending more time outdoors means switching to a lightweight, less visible makeup with an SPF. Here's a few tinted moisturizers for the more casual summer months to keep your face flawlessly protected.
Laura Mercier's best selling Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 has been a staple of mine for years, but now I can enjoy an oil-free version. Humidity and outside activity take their toll on the longevity of makeup, but Mercier's version doesn't budge and provides a natural cover and finish.
Jane Iredale weighs in on the tined moisturizer category with their new Dream Tint tinted moisturizer that provides a chemical free SPF 15. Fantastic if traditional sunscreens tend to be too heavy or cause breakouts and the oil free formula stands up to even the heaviest humidity.
Not willing to budge an inch from your old favs this summer? Give those favorites a boost with Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 30
I am a HUGE fan of tinted moisturizers, because they are a quick way to get your moisturizer, provide a light, natural foundation, and give you a SPF in one swoop!
I love Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer; just the right amount of coverage for me. I think the Dermalogica brand is better for those who are looking a good SPF and a bit of sheer tint.
Thanks Carissa!
Great tips! I definitaely need to buy one of these products =) I love the look of your blkog too!
Thanks for reminding me Jen-
it looks like i failed to mention that the Dermalogica doesn't have color. It's just a sunscreen designed to be added to foundation, moisturizer and other liquid products that don't already contain SPF.
It's really lightweight too and you can use it alone if you'd like.

What a great idea -- adding SPF to your own product.
Laura Mercier's oil-free tinted moisturizer leaves me looking shiny like a burn victim after I've applied it. The best I've found is Lancome's Aqua Fusion Tiente - light, but with good coverage, invisible texture. Perfect!
I haven't tried the Lancome product- but I will check it out!
Thanks
I totally agree...Laura Mercier's TM is the best!!!
