As a far as tinted moisturisers go, I'm a fan. A simple combination of a skincare and make up product that is quick and easy to apply for those 'cba' days. This month see's the launch of the long awaited Skin Tint from Liz Earle. I was recently given the oppitunity to test it out; I wanted to compare it with other tinted moisturisers available on the market.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint �21.00 (out 8th September)
First Impressions - I like the packaging, lovely product design but slightly smaller then I expected. I went for the lightest shade, which unfortunately is the wrong colour for me. However Liz Earle have a system put in place for these sort of dilemma's, with your online order you receive 3 samples of each shade so you can find your perfect colour - phew! The light formula blends easily into the skin and gives a nice velvet finish. The coverage is light so it doesn't cover my blemishes. A few bloggers have commented on it's smell. I would describe it as slightly artificial, it doesn't bother me and disappears once it's dried. I am in love with the finish it gives and cannot wait to see what make up product Liz Earle launches next - fingers crossed it's foundation!
MakeBelieve Glow Tinted Moisturiser �15.00 
Out of all three, this is the thickest tinted moisturiser. I feel it leaning slightly towards the 'foundation' section. The colour is a lot darker too as it's designed for fake tan wearers. The coverage is light so I need a bit of concealer to hid my imperfections. You can build up the coverage on this if you use a powder on top.  This would be ideal to take away on holiday, and it's really handy to have in the summer when your skin colour is changing. 
Living Nature Tinted Moisturiser �18.00
My Last product comes from Living Nature; a cosmetics company that specialises in creating product's made from 100% natural ingredients. This colour is perfect for me, it's lightweight formula absorbs nicely into the skin and  leaves my face looking fresh. Again the coverage is light. I love the product packaging and the modern looking tube it come's in. It contain's Manuka Honey to keep the skin nourished!

Does anyone else like to use a tinted moisturiser, or have you tried any of the product's above? x
