What is the Best Tinted Moisturizer?

I want to have flawless skin but I don't want to use foundation (I am only 14). I'm thinking of buying Clinique tinted moisturizer or the Garnier BB Cream!

Do you have any favorites?

Thank youu(:

I actually love Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer - it also has SPF in it, which is a major plus for me!

I personally use Sonia Kashuk's tinted moisturizer from Target. Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer was too expensive for me as a college student! Although the SK tinted moisturizer does not have a wide range of colors, def check it out if one suits you or are interested. I like it so far - I use it when I just want to even out my skin a little bit during the mornings.

I JUST tried the Garnier BB Cream and it's great! It's less than half the price of the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, and I've tried it and honestly prefer the Garnier BB Cream. Not only is the price a HUGE seller, my skin is so fair I found that the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer left me looking orange and "greasy" (and I have combo-dry skin), while the Garnier BB Cream was a better colour match and didn't have that feel. It also has an SPF 15!

Go for the Garnier! If you're in Canada, it's on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart :)

Try the Cargo tinted Moisturizer, not only do you get a good sized amount for the price but it works really well. Plus it doesnt look greasy on the skin, also if you use there mattifying primer it makes the look matte.

Do you think the Garnier BB cream is good for oily skin?

@Jobelle, on my skin, I'm combo-dry, my t-zone is slightly oily, the Garnier BB is DEFINITELY less oily than any other tinted moisturizer I've used. Personally for me it leaves a sheer finish and I don't "get" oily, but my skin looks /slightly/ dewy - sort of a moisturized, healthy look. It may not be the best for oily skin, but it's better than anything else I've tried!

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the OCC tint. That stuff is amazing, it feels like a moisturizer, and has the coverage of a foundation.

Okay! Thank you!(:

I use the one from Aveda...sometimes by itself or underneath my Loreal True Match. I love the combo...my skin is dewy pretty much all day long. I wanna try BB cream though sometime.

@santina Thanks for letting me know :) I heard that the Garnier BB cream was thicker in consistency, so I was wondering if it would be suitable for oily skin types.

I love MAC Face and Body foundation (yes, they categorized it as foundation but it is so lightweight and gives such a sheer cover that I'd much rather call it tinted moisturizer).
The bottle is huge, will take you ages through the whole thing, and it does wonders to skin :)

Gotta try the new Marcelle BB Cream! It is light, has good coverage, smells good and does so much more for your skin! Ive tried the Garnier and it is not something that I would personally use or recommend. But everyone is different. Good Luck :)

Totally headed to Shoppers this week to try the Garnier BB cream if it's on sale!
I've been thinking about trying a tinted moisturizer for summer too, so this is a great post! I'm def going to go to Sephora and try the laura mercier one (and get a sample). Maybe while I'm out I'll check out the face and body too.
I did try The Balm Shelter tinted moisturizer and it feels REALLY nice on the skin. I think it's worth checking out too.
