Tinted moisturizer: Givenchy AND Laura Mercier

 Good mixes!

It may seem a bit redundant to use a product with the word “moisturizer” in the name if you already have oily skin. A good quality tinted moisturizer should protect skin while keeping moisture production in check and evens your skin tone. Clear, balanced skin with light coverage works best if you don’t like to feel you have makeup on. If you thought you couldn’t wear makeup because it never stays in place, or causes blemishes, or feels too thick take a different approach with a tinted moisturizer. Here are two of my favourite tinted moisturizers with SPF which I mix together!

Information of both brands

Givenchy is one of the oldest cosmetics company in the world. this is one of the most popular international brands on the planet. This is a runny more liquid formulation than many tinted moisturisers but I happen to favour this type of texture as it applies easily and leaves a feather light finish. Those with even the most fickle skin types will find they can wear Givenchy. This brand focuses on preventing premature aging, and moisturizing where skin needs it most. Yes, Givenchy is confident even a tinted moisturizer can do just that.

Why Laura Mercier is great because it is easy to use and meets your "sun protection, moisturizer and light foundation needs." It moisturizes while leaving a tint of color, which readers say saves time by "doing two things at once." "This has to be one of the best beauty buys out there," says one confident reader. "It is very natural, so you don't look like you are wearing any makeup. You simply look like you have beautiful skin." And although readers mention the high price, they all say the compliments they get are "well worth it!"

How to apply tinted moisturizer:

1.       Wash your face with a good facial wash

2.       Use cotton to wipe your face with a toner

3.       Squeeze each tinted moisturizer on your hand and mix them

4.       Spread evenly onto your face

 Now why I mix both?

Sometimes, the full coverage of foundation isn't wanted or needed. This is especially true in the warmer months, when a full face of makeup feels stifling and melts off in the heat. Laura Merciers’ tinted moisturizer has the perfect caramel shade that matches my face color however it is very dry as it is oil free, so I mix it with the Givenchy tinted moisturizer which gives it a sparkle and an amazing glow finish. Thank goodness for tinted moisturizer! A little color coverage paired with sun protection makes for a comfortable, sheer makeup routine perfect for your active lifestyle.
