Glowy skin is always in, but during the festive season it feels almost essential. Between marathon celebrations, back-to-back family gatherings and nights that turn into mornings, your complexion deserves a base that works as hard as you do. Heavy foundation often feels stifling, while bare skin doesn’t always give that polished touch you want in every photograph.
That’s where tinted moisturisers come in. They’re the ultimate multitaskers—part skincare, part make-up and entirely effortless. With the hydration of a cream, the lightness of a serum and just enough coverage to even things out, they strike the perfect balance. The result is skin that looks natural, comfortable and radiant, catching the festive lights in all the right ways without ever looking overdone.
This season, we’ve hand-picked nine tinted moisturisers that deliver glow and performance, so you can feel confident from the first click to the last dance floor moment.
