As we creep towards summer (or, in the UAE, hurtle towards it at an alarming speed), the time has come for the seasonal makeup bag overhaul. Keep foundations aside for special occasions and swap them for skin tints for the day-to-day – weightless, breathable and with lighter coverage, skin tints offer a your-skin-but-better finish. Here, MOJEH rounds-up the latest innovations to add to your summer makeup bag.
Terracotta Joli Teint, Guerlain
For the first time, Guerlain marries a 90 percent natural-origin formula with the power of active ingredients, resulting in a tinted moisturiser that protects from UV rays and improves the appearance of skin over time. Terracotta Joli Teint offers a sun-kissed glow that covers imperfections and evens skin tone for up to 24 hours with a heat- and humidity-proof formula. Pro tip: apply the product with your fingers for a natural, second-skin finish. Shop now
Skin Base, Refy
Refy nails the ‘your-skin-but-better’ brief with a lightweight gel-texture tint that melts into the skin with ease. The buildable formula gently evens the complexion, providing all-day wear without cracking or cakiness, and hydrates with a combination of hyaluronic acid and inclusium. Applying on the go? The package features an industry-first priming palette built into the top of the bottle, allowing you to dispense the exact amount of product you need. Shop now
Skin Tint, Armani Beauty
Armani Beauty captures the essence of golden hour with a lightweight, long-wearing skin tint infused with golden hour pearls. Undetectable, buildable and stretchable, this innovation is built from a serum base infused with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to plump, reduce dullness and improve luminosity. Shop now
Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte Broad Spectrum SPF30, Laura Mercier
Laura Mercier presents a matte version of its best-selling Oil-Free Natural Skin Perfector. With a 91 percent skincare-based formula composed of french rose clay, eijitsurose extract and white rose extract, it decreases the appearance of pores, balances sebum production and protects from the sun’s harmful rays while offering buildable coverage.

Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, Chanel Beauty
This celebrity-loved tint is the ultimate beachside beauty BFF – swipe on the sheer-coverage formula at your sunbed when last-minute plans are made. The innovative micro droplets burst upon application, delivering both pigment and up to eight hours of hydration courtesy of tamarind seed extract. Shop now
Sheer Skin Tint, Summer Fridays
For those that prefer a dewy, youthful finish, Summer Fridays’ best-selling tint should be a makeup bag staple. Tiger grass soothes and reduces redness while squalane and hyaluronic acid lock-in moisture. It’s a sheer-coverage product that puts a pep in your step but allows freckles to show through, and won’t slide off of your face on a hot summer’s day. Shop now
