5 Tinted Moisturizers to Use for Glowy Makeup This Winter

We’d be here all day if we listed every reason why we love tinted moisturizers. But if we had to sum it up briefly, we’d say we love their natural coverage, their hydration and the way they make the skin radiant. Skin can look dull and sallow during the colder months, so the latter is probably why we tend to revisit tinted moisturizers in the wintertime. 

They’re a great alternative to loading layers of glowy makeup on the face when you want to keep it simple. If you struggle with dullness when the temperature drops, let these five tinted moisturizer options and radiant base products be your guide to a path of glow.

L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer

If you want hydration and to take your glow to the next level, try this glow lotion (get it: glow + lotion = glotion!). This all-over-face tint has glycerin and shea butter to nourish the skin, while giving it a luminosity that rivals your favorite highlighter. Apply it to your face, down your neck and onto the décolletage to radiate from your face and beyond. You can actually wear it alone, under foundation, on top of foundation, or just on the high points of the face so it catches the light at certain angles.

L’Oréal Paris Magic Anti-Fatigue (For All Skin Types)

Aptly named after its magical abilities to give you a natural-looking, brilliant finish, this BB cream for all skin tones uses subtle pigments to give you an even look with a bare-skin finish. It hydrates, corrects and revives tired-looking skin and serves as a skin care and makeup all-in-one application. It’s the perfect go-to when you want something lighter than foundation, but still want your skin to look healthy and near flawless.

L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion

Not exactly what you may expect when we say tinted moisturizer but a glow hero nonetheless, this self-tanner is exactly what you need when your winter complexion needs some warmth. Formulated with vitamin E and an AHA derivative, it leaves you with smooth, soft skin with a subtle shimmer and glow that gradually builds. The body tanner dries quickly for a streak-free, seamless color.

L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Glow Daily Moisturizer Natural Skin Tone Enhancer

This daily body moisturizer works as a gradual self tanner for those with lighter skin tones who need a boost of color when their skin begins to look lackluster. Formulated with mango butter, sweet almond and vitamin E, it hydrates skin while deepening your natural complexion. So you’ll look more like you just came back from a vacation somewhere warm and less like a discarded Halloween pumpkin.
