I Was Convinced I Wouldn't Like This Celebrity Skin Tint, But Now I Can't Live Without It
Believe it or not, this is my new favourite complexion product.
In the summer months, I solely wear skin tints. Forget foundation, as these barely-there, complexion-perfecting products are all I need for a glowy makeup look. I have some firm favourites in my makeup bag, from the Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint to the Ilia Beauty Super Serum Skin Tint, and it takes a lot for me to stray from these. So, when everyone started raving about the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Tint Blurring Elixir, I dismissed it immediately.
Not only did I think it would never beat my go-to products, but to be totally honest, I'm a bit skeptical of celebrity beauty brands. I know, I know, there are some genuinely amazing celeb products out there, but more often than not, these brands never live up to the hype. Kylie Cosmetics is known for its Lip Kits (which launched in 2015), but when it comes to complexion products, I didn't have high hopes. Oh, how wrong I was.
As it turns out, this skin tint is one of the best things I've ever put on my face. Kylie, forgive me, as you have created my new favourite complexion product for the summer ahead.
Whilst most skin tints I've tried have a similar texture to foundation, this features a fluid, weightless, almost water-like texture that glides onto the skin and makes it feel as if you are wearing nothing at all. It is packed with hyaluronic acid for a hydrating, seamless-wearing experience, with light-to-medium, second-skin coverage. Whilst I would still use concealer to cover any blemishes, as the name suggests, this product blurs the appearance of pores and skin texture, leaving a smooth, radiant finish that gives all those TikTok filters a run for their money.
There are 24 shades available in a wide range of skin tones, and I personally wear 4.5 Warm Neutral, which works beautifully in the summer months when I'm a bit more tanned. When I wore this to the office for the first time, I had three colleagues compliment my makeup. Since then, I've reached for it pretty much every single day, and I couldn't tell you how many people have asked what foundation I'm wearing.
As a beauty editor who has tested hundreds (yes, hundreds) of base products over the years, it takes a lot for me to write a standalone piece on a skin tint, let alone a rave review like this one. But with a formula and finish this good (and unlike anything else I've tried), it's hard not to fall in love. No matter how unexpected the love story may be...
