9 skin tints for subtly enhancing your complexion
Like your skin, just a little bit better
In the last decade makeup has changed a lot — especially as far as our complexions are concerned.
While 2015 was defined by full-coverage foundations, carving out new features with concealer, and baking your under eyes with banana powder — makeup trends in 2025 dictate that less is more.
We're figuring out how to achieve flawless skin without makeup to emulate the foundation-free makeup routines of celebrities like Gracie Abrams. However, the pursuit of glass skin isn't won by skin care alone.
Lauded for their ‘your-skin-but-better’ finishes and skin care ingredient-enriched formulas, skin tints are fast becoming the most popular base product on the makeup market for everyday wear. Offering a sheer veil of blurring pigment, applying a skin tint is less about trying to cover your skin — it's simply a means of enhancing it.
If you’re looking to add a skin tint to your makeup bag, keep scrolling — BEAUTYcrew's rounded up the best of the category on your behalf.

After a base product with a little extra coverage? These are the foundations celebrities swear by for flawless skin on the red carpet.
Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
