Last year, I took fought with a few different brands of tinted moisturizers and BB cremes. I loved the Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 out of all of them, but this year I wanted something different. And, with our cold one week, warm and humid the next week weather, it really has affected my skin and my foundation choices. (Side note: I change my foundation to a tinted moisturizer in the fall/winter because my skin shows more dryness patches and to fight the wind, sun and other free radicals.) So far, I have tried Laura Mercier, Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer against the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturizer and the Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint. To be fair, I only tried the Hourglass on a client, I don't know that I loved it. I really need to try it on my skin. But now I want to try the Dior Hydra Life BB Creme, (hahaha, whoa.... ) there are too many products to choose from. When I go back to Sephora to return the Laura Mercier, I will purchase the caudalie today. Also asking for couple samples from Hourglass, Dior and any other types my Sephora consultant suggestions. I posted the reasons below for the why and why nots. Feel free to ask any questions if you have them! Let's keep this conversation going! 1. Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm = Best SPF coverage, lightweight, light coverage, but a bit oily faster than I like. 2. Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer = SPF smells was very strong, very oily application, then faded into matte. But brought out my lines and got oily pretty quick. 3. Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturizer = lightweight, really light coverage. Blurs imperfections better than previous two products. This battle to be continued....

I use the Lancome Bienfait Teinte tinted moisturizer. It has a bit more "tint" than most others in that I would consider it a light coverage foundation. I am almost 70, so I also experience dryness with heavier products. I have found that using this product mixed with an equal amt of Moisture Surge (Clinique) gives me that extra bit of softness for my wrinkles, and keeps everything else feeling dewey all day. I also take a tiny bit of the Surge, and dab it lightly under my eye area to be sure there will not be any creases. The Surge plumps everything up and gives skin that soft, full look. The Surge is sold as a product initially for folks who live in extreme cold. They are to dab it all over their face after the makeup is applied, and the gel finish keeps the face moist all day. It works amazingly well and doesn't muck up the makeup one bit. It is also great to dab on dry lips....instant plump. Anyway, I really love the Lancome tinted moisturizer.

Thank you Diane for your info. I personally am not a huge fan of Clinique Moisture Surge, (my skin doesn't respond well to most Clinique products) and I love my skin care that I currently use. I also have not tried the Lancome product you suggested. I will be sure to check it out. Are you using an undereye cream along with the Clinique moisture surge? I love my Tarte Maracuja creaseless concealor for my undereyes as well. Although it is not completely creaseless. The coverage is gorgeous, so I use that for a bit of extra spot correcting in a few areas.
