If you don't want to apply a foundation, but you still want a bit of coverage, you should try a tinted moisturizer. A tinted moisturizer is a moisturizer with some pigment added to it. As an added bonus, most of these products also contain a sunscreen. If you plan to be outside for a good part of the day, buy a product with at least an SPF of 15.Tinted moisturizer is applied in much the same way as your every day moisturizer. Start with a clean and dry face. Use your concealer under your eyes or anywhere else where you have shadows or discoloration. Keep in mind that the tinted moisturizer is more sheer than your foundation; it will not do as good of a job as your foundation at covering up blemishes.
Apply a small amount of the product to your fingertips and apply by blending from the center of your face outward. Some people like to apply the product with a foam wedge sponge, and this is a matter of preference. Make sure you completely blend the product along your hairline at your forehead and at the jaw line. In the same way you apply your foundation, you also want your tinted moisturizer to look natural and not like you are wearing a mask. Blending of the product is essential for a seamless look.
You can dust some face powder over your face when you are finished to give it staying power and help avoid any oily shine, if you have oily skin, or you can just skip this step completely.
You can find a variety of tinted moisturizers in your local drug store starting at around $10, and several of the department store brands also make tinted moisturizers ranging in price from $25 to $50.
