Smashbox Halo and Primers

I know in past years, I’ve complained (and people have joined in) about tinted sunscreen being the wrong shade or being too tinted, but how about a tinted moisturizer that has SPF in it and is available in lots of shades? Would you like that? It’s working for me, but I’m using it on top of my regular sunscreen.

I’ve been testing out a few things from Smashbox, and it’s no surprise that their Halo Healthy Glow All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer is my favourite because it’s a tinted sunscreen but with colour options for everyone, which means that it’s better than your average tinted sunscreen. Honestly, this one makes my skin look so good that I want to carry it around with me and reapply. I have the colour medium, but medium-light would probably work for me too. You can see the real colour in natural light by the swatch on my hand, and yes, those are my glasses on the counter in the background.

The primers – the primers are great, and not too silicone-heavy at all. The hydrating one is your basic super light moisturizer, and the Illuminate one is very glowy with golden shimmer, and honestly, I’d rather use it on my body than on my face. You can read the “studio tip” on the box: “extend the subtle glow to décolletage” and I think that’s a great tip. Shimmer always makes skin look so healthy.

Have you used any of these? Is this a tinted sunscreen moisturizer that you can switch over to?
