So what’s your go-to for face these days? A tinted moisturizer or do you prefer a foundation or both? How many do you have? A recent count on my beauty table numbered 4 foundations and 2 tinted moisturizers and these are ones I use regularly. I like each category for different reasons – a tinted is great for on-the-go in the morning when I just need a little boost to my look but don’t have time to put it all on. Not to mention I can apply it in the car without using a mirror (at a red light of course).

And on the other end is foundation and I love it for the polished look it gives my skin. My favorite one right now is the medium to full coverage foundation is this one gives since it’s fall and I need a tad more coverage.

The brand of tinted moisturizer I’ve been using lately is Bluemercury’s LUNE+ASTER. I wrote about one of their palettes recently and now that I’ve experienced more than this one, I think this brand is a contender in the makeup world!

CC/Tinted Moisturizer SPF 50+ ($48/1.7oz @ bluemercury.com) – a medium coverage tinted moisturizer that contains good-for-skin-ingredients like vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, SPF 50 and seabuckthorn, which is rich in omegas. It’s available in 4 shades and it feels pretty light on the skin.

RealGlow Primer ($30/1.7oz @ bluemercury.com) – this formula contains light-diffusing primer pigments so it will help anything you apply after it to look better.
