During the summer months, tinted moisturiser is an ideal choice for those seeking some coverage without the heavy feel of makeup. It can be a challenge to find the right tint that caters to your skin type and desired level of coverage, but beauty enthusiasts believe they've struck gold with Sculpted by Aimee's HydraTint.
This best-selling tinted serum, which doubles as a moisturiser, comes in 20 shades and provides buildable coverage. It contains 90% skincare ingredients, including hyaluronic acid for sustained hydration, ceramides, and Centella Asiatica Water that all work together to reinforce the skin barrier and enhance skin health.
Sculpted by Aimee is an Irish brand established by professional makeup artist Aimee Connolly. It's known for its 'high-quality, versatile beauty products' that are designed to 'enhance natural beauty with ease'. Priced at £23, the HydraTint is both vegan and cruelty-free, as reported by the Mirror.
Described as a 'sheer skin-perfecting serum', it combines the benefits of makeup with advanced skincare to nourish and protect all skin types. It provides a sheer touch of colour for a natural, understated appearance.
The HydraTint has already garnered many fans, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five. One satisfied customer rated it five stars and said: "Absolutely beautiful... matched my skin tone perfectly. I absolutely love the coverage, it's dewy and covers imperfections."
A second wrote: "The added skincare is a fantastic bonus - my skin looks younger! I used HydraTint on its own initially but bought the Beauty Base Protect and used it under the HydraTint and it's a game changer. I'm 61 and love makeup, I have used many (some rather expensive) foundations/tinted moisturisers, and now that I have discovered Sculpted By Aimee I'm a convert, the search for the perfect product for me is over!"
A third commented: "My new favourite product. Having 'older' skin it is difficult for me to find products that don't sit in my lines. However, this is a lovely, light, tinted moisturiser with just enough coverage to hide redness but doesn't look like a cakey mask. I love the fact that it has skincare ingredients, none of which have irritated my reactive skin."
Another delighted shopper said: "This is an amazing product. It's so lightweight and applies beautifully, giving a light, natural-looking finish to the skin. It covers imperfections and large pores and my skin feels soft and hydrated. There is a good selection of shades too."
However, not all feedback was glowing, as one customer with oily skin found the product unsuitable, explaining: "I find this serum goes on shiny and stays shiny... It just makes me feel moist. A bit disappointing!"
For those interested in trying HydraTint, Sculpted by Aimee suggests applying it with fingers for an 'effortless barely-there finish', or using a brush for extra coverage. You can buy it here for £23.
Sculpted by Aimee provides a variety of bundles on its website, including the Holiday Essentials Bundle. You can also get 20% discount when you purchase three qualifying products.
