Skin tints have very sheer coverage, says celebrity makeup artistKenneth Soh.

Its designed to give the skin the barest veil of color so it feels like youre not wearing anything.

After considering dozens of products, we landed on these top-rated picks.

Ami Colé Skin-Enhancing Tint

It offers blemish-blurring coverage and skin-friendly ingredients, and the ultra-glowy finish gives it extra oomph.

We didnt necessarily notice this after a couple of uses, but we imagine this is a gradual win.

After applying with a foundation brush, we loved that we had a sun-kissed, healthy glow.

But be forewarned: It truly is buildable, so a little goes averylong way.

Though its ultra-hydrating, this skin tint feels more oil-leaning than moisture-rich.

As we blended it in, we were most impressed with how effortlessly it mixed with our skins undertones.

Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint

It leaves your skin with a dewy finish without creating a flat shinetheres dimension to the glow.

Based on effectiveness alone, this product ranks high.

But once it settles, it leaves an all-over glow.

After applying, we noticed that it dried almost like a powder, with no greasiness or transfer.

This makes it perfect for oily skin types, as it wont make the complexion even more shiny.

However, because it still has moisturizing properties, it wont accentuate patches or lines on drier skin types.
