Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Skin Tint offers light-to-medium, skin-like coverage with a hydrating, dewy finish. Professional makeup artist Makeup By Nikki La Rose says it's best for oily skin, while Jamie Paige calls it "a dry skin girl's dream" and several others recommend it for normal to dry skin. Amanda Z notes it can highlight texture initially but wears down to a skin-like long-wear finish.
