Most tinted moisturizers have sheer to medium coverage, meaning if you have certain skin concerns like dark circles, hyperpigmentation or redness, it likely won’t cover them up completely, Achkov says. Some tinted moisturizers are buildable, so you can layer them if you need more coverage. Experts say using a tinted moisturizer is a great way to get everyday coverage without the uncomfortable feeling of a heavy foundation on your skin.

Our experts recommend layering your tinted moisturizer on top of your everyday moisturizer and serum, especially if it contains SPF — if it doesn’t have broad spectrum coverage of at least 30, they recommend putting on a mineral sunscreen before applying the tinted moisturizer.
