The best skin tints for summer 2025
It's that time of year when temperatures rise, the sun hopefully makes a more regular appearance (I hope I'm not jinxing our famously chaotic Irish summers here) and the urge to wear lighter, glowier make-up comes to the fore. Out go the full-coverage foundations and in their place we reach more often for skin tints and tinted moisturisers. I use skin tints year round, not just in summer. Maybe it's an age thing but these days I find myself gravitating towards lighter coverage that still delivers a fresh, dewy finish. I want skin that looks like skin – just a bit more radiant. Here are four standout options for summer, all boasting skincare-loaded formulas, just enough coverage (and in some cases a little more) and, most importantly, a finish that looks like your skin only better. And who doesn't want that? Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint Moisturising Tinted Serum SPF20 Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint (€25 at Boots and First up is Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint. Although it's only been on the market for a few years, it's already nearing cult status. This truly is one of the best skincare-meets-make-up hybrids available, which is why it's a product I recommend again and again. READ MORE Affordable at just €25 and with 20 shades to choose from, HydraTint is a serum-like base that provides just enough coverage to reduce redness and even out skin tone, while its soothing, moisture-boosting formula (ceramides, centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and more) keeps your skin hydrated and comfortable, both immediately and throughout the day. Poco Beauty Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation SPF50 Poco Beauty Skintuition Foundation (€32 from If you're looking for slightly more coverage but still want a feather-light feel and skincare benefits, look no further than Poco Beauty's Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation (€32 from Poco Beauty) – the second home-grown brand on this list. With a slightly thicker texture, it blends like a cream but feels like a serum on the skin. The coverage is medium and very buildable, and it's available in eight stretchable shades (with more on the way, according to founder Pippa O'Connor). The ingredients list is impressive too: niacinamide, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid – all working together to brighten, hydrate, and improve skin texture over time. Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) Aside from its lightweight, fluid formula that delivers a glossy, skin-like finish, Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) is a particularly excellent choice for those prone to redness or sensitivity. Along with moisture-boosting ingredients like glycerine, squalane and hyaluronic acid, it also contains tiger grass – a powerful ingredient known for calming, soothing, and reducing the appearance of inflammation. Available in 12 shades, this tint, like Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint, is a whack-on-and-go serum-like formula – excellent for applying in a hurry with a brush or fingertips. Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF50 Supergoop! Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty) One of the newer products on this list, Supergoop! is known for its excellent range of sunscreens designed to suit all skin types and concerns. The most recent addition to their line-up is the excellent Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty). This is for you if you prefer more of a wash of colour (and still pretty decent coverage) combined with high-factor broad-spectrum SPF protection. Available in 14 shades, it's a clever hybrid formulation containing both chemical and mineral UV filters, along with hyaluronic-acid-infused clay that absorbs oil while keeping skin hydrated, and ectoin – a powerful amino acid that protects the skin barrier and helps reduce inflammation. This week I'm loving … Lush Seanik Shampoo Bar Lush Cosmetics Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush) In July this year, Lush Cosmetics celebrates its 30th birthday – and its 25th year since opening a store in Ireland. To celebrate, I reintroduced myself to one of my all-time favourite Lush products: Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush). Made with sea salt and Irish moss seaweed, it delivers bouncy, shiny hair that feels squeaky clean. The bar lasts for what feels like several hundred washes.

Jones Road's new tinted moisturiser delivers featherlight natural coverage
Founded by American cosmetics guru Bobbi Brown, Jones Road was engineered to simplify our make-up choices, and take the stress out of what make-up to wear. Since its debut in 2020, many of its products have been created for busy women and to work well on more mature skin – indeed, I think it's fair to say that over the last five years, the brand's luminous tints, balms and foundation product launches have proved to glide over the skin with youth-imbuing properties (yippee!). Now, the brand new just enough tinted moisturiser joins the anti-aging stable with aplomb. Designed to give natural-looking coverage, the formula is touted for concealing redness and balancing skin tone for those days when you are in a minimal make-up frame of mind or when that pre-Zoom, only-got-five-minutes-flat to get ready meeting panic hits. There are also 16 shades to choose from, so every skin is catered for. To see if the new launch lives up to its hype, I put it to the test. Keep reading for my full verdict. How we tested I tested the product for a 10-day period, replacing my usual foundation with the shade 'golden dore' every morning. It i sn't an SPF though, so I made sure to apply it after moisturiser and sunscreen. I paid close attention to the consistency of the formula with its glide-on effect and the expert satin looking finish. After putting pea sized amounts into my hands, I then rubbed them together to warm up the formula before applying all over my face and neck. I then washed it off in the evening with a cleanser. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Jane Druker is a beauty writer who has recommended the best eye creams, serums and night creams for our readers. Particularly interested in whether products will perform well on more mature skin, Jane has factored this into her verdict of the Jones Road just enough tinted moisturiser, while applying and wearing the formula to see how it fares day to day.
