This Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer Is My Secret for a Natural Glow — and Celebs Swear by It, Too

Using foundation on dry skin is like mixing oil with water.

As someone who wrestles with dry skin, I know this all too well. I’ve completely abandoned my makeup staples in search of alternatives that balance coverage with hydration. My search has led me to one of my holy grails: Clinique’s Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator.

This lightweight skin tint has become essential to my makeup routine. First and foremost, it moisturizes while providing natural-looking coverage, leaving me with a fresh, buildable base that enhances the rest of my makeup rather than fighting it.

The formula is packed with hydrating skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe water, which keep my skin dewy and plump throughout the day (even in windy New York City). 

I also love how it adds a glowy finish to my skin year-round. Did I jet off to a tropical island for a weekend getaway? No, but at least my skin gives the illusion that I did. It’s also worth mentioning that it’s sweat- and humidity-resistant, so it’s certainly worth bringing along for a warm-weather vacation.

It also has SPF 25, so if you’re keeping track, it acts as a moisturizer, foundation, and sunscreen all in one — and there are few things I love more than a streamlined beauty routine. The skin tint comes in seven blendable shades suitable for all skin types, and the product has been tested by dermatologists and ophthalmologists, as well as for allergies. 

I’m far from the only fan of this skin tint, though. Bella Hadid recently cosigned the Clinique Sheertint in a TikTok, where she broke down her five-minute beauty routine. The model pointed out that it “evens out” her skin, adding that she usually doesn’t wear foundation over it. 

The product has hundreds of perfect ratings on Amazon, with shoppers raving about its natural-looking coverage. “I have finally found something that gives my skin a more youthful look [and] that doesn't fill in the wrinkles and look heavy,” wrote a customer. 

Another shopper shared it “looks great after wearing it for several hours,” while another dubbed it a “must-buy” product.

Head to Amazon to try this celebrity-approved skin tint for yourself. Then, keep scrolling for more Clinique products starting at $25.
