We are right in the middle of summer and you are giving us your best Hot Girl. While letting your inner Hot Girl out is no easy feat, looking like on certainly doesn’t have to be. Temperatures are lit and so is your social calendar, the question is are we putting on a full face of foundation in this heat. Enter skin tints, the perfect middle ground for the girlies who want an even tone with a weightless tone. Confused by the difference between the two? Don’t worry, we are here to break it all down for you!
Foundation
- The major difference between foundation and skin tints is the coverage. Traditionally, a foundation will do a much better job at hiding any imperfections and covering areas of concern
- Often foundations come in a variety of formulations for different skin types and seasons. For example matte, soft matte, dewy and full coverage
- Foundation, due to its thicker consistency, requires more in the application process. Because of this, it can be applied with a variety of tools like a puff, sponge, brush or even your hands
Skin Tints
- Skin Tints are essentially weightless and offer limited to sheer coverage of imperfections. These are great to provide an even skin tone while adding moisture through a light, hydrating and dewy finish
- Due to the lighter consistency, a brush while it could be used for application isn’t required. Feel free to apply it with your hands
