5 Vegan Tinted Moisturisers to Get Your Glow Back
For light coverage and deep hydration, you can't go wrong with this range of tinted moisturisers and BB creams...
We’re big fans of making life as easy as possible for ourselves, so any beauty product that satisfies a range of skincare needs is top of our wishlists! We’ve noticed a definite move away from the heavy ‘baked’ look made famous by Kim K, and it seems that we’re not alone, as tinted moisturisers and BB creams are back in a big way.
Bear your individual requirements in mind when choosing your latest skin-perfecting marvel; if you’re after deep hydration and light coverage, then go for a tinted moisturiser! On the other hand, if you feel that your skin needs heavier coverage, a BB cream might be better, as they tend to prime the skin. BB creams are also great for the summer, as they appear radiant on your skin when finished with bronzer.
So, if you’re looking for products that will give you a dewy, glowing appearance, the following items are just the trick. Plus, they’re all vegan – another attribute that you can slip into conversation when someone asks what your skincare secret is!
