I’ve been using glo minerals makeup for awhile now and I’m always excited to see what new products they come up with. Their newer release for Spring is the Tinted Primer SPF30, an oil free tinter primer with pure mineral sun protection which is supposed to mask imperfections and provide all day coverage. The recommended use is to use it alone for sheer coverage or under foundation for a flawless complexion.
The line has four available shades in Fair, Light, Medium and Deep. Since the coverage is very light I think you can get away with a shade that doesn’t completely match your complexion. My current shade is Light but I do also have Medium which would be perfect for the summer months.
I’ve never tried a tinted primer so this was a first for me. I like the idea of having a primer that you can wear on it’s own since it provides sheer coverage, that primes your face for foundation and also has an SPF. That actually sounds like a perfect products to me.
The Tinted Primer is oil free and pretty mattifying so I would recommend it for people who have combo to oily skin. This would be a perfect primer for the summer because it will keep you matte, provide extra coverage and also protect you from the sun. It also feels very light on the skin and blends nicely.
I can see myself wearing the Tinted Primer a lot when I go on vacation so at the beach or at the pool this summer. It will give me sheer coverage that is almost undetectable, it will keep me matte but it will also protect me from the sun. The only complain I have is that it’s not waterproof so if you’re swimming you have to make sure you wear a waterproof sunscreen. Other than that I think it’s a great product for the warmer months.
Have you tried a tinted primer? Let me know if you know of a brand that makes them.
