The top 5 skin tints for smooth, seamless coverage
If you’re a minimalist makeup fan, it’s likely you’re big into skin tints – and it’s not hard for us to see why they’re so popular. Skin tints offer lightweight, barely-there coverage that can be built up on the days when you prefer a full face, so you can customise your base in the best way for your skin.
What’s more? They’re often fully-loaded with skincare ingredients, meaning you’re treated to a host of hydrating, brightening and smoothening benefits from the second you apply.
