Jane Iredale Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizer

$36

This vegan, sunscreen-packed tint might be billed as a moisturizer, but it’s much more effective as a superlight foundation. As a moisturizer, it hydrating powers fall short against my typically dry skin. And as a foundation alone, the sheer coverage isn’t enough to buff out zits. But when paired with a made-for-dry-skin moisturizer, the creamy tint gives my face an uh-mazingly natural insta-glow without erasing my freckles, like heavier foundations do. Thoughtful packaging –a plastic squeeze bottle with a tiny hole—makes for precise dispensing and ensures I don’t end up with an overly-caked face. It goes on smooth and requires almost no blending, making it the perfect complexion brightener for those just-trying-to-make-it-to-school days. —Emma Herlihy
