Love or Loathe: Tinted Moisturizer

By -
In theory, tinted moisturizer is a great thing. You get the vitamins and such your skin needs plus a light touch of concealer. Trouble is, such products are usually one size fits all, so if it's not your shade, you can't use it. I bought some tinted eye cream a while back and unless I'm careful to blend it really well, the too dark shade makes me look tired. Since it's tinted, I have a tendency to only use it when I'm wearing makeup instead of wearing it daily.

Do you like tinted moisturizers or do you find them not as useful in practice as in theory?

Wow, synchronicity -- the last day or two I've been doing a lot of searches on-line for a good tinted moisturizer... meanwhile making my own by blending a Neutrogena moisturizer with a MAC tube foundation. ::shrug:: It works OK.

My "research" suggests Pixi makes a good one (Illuminating Tint and Conceal), which is on its way to me now via eBay.

I have had good luck with Urban Decay's tinted moisturizer (I got it in Halo and it's a bit dark, but I rub it in and then use some loose powder to get it back to my color). It's only $6 on sale :)

Oh, I forgot to mention that I got that tinted moisturizer because it has the SPF20 in it, which I require in all situations (even winter).

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
