Estée Lauder$55.00Futurist Skin Tint Serum Foundation SPF 20 with Glycerinshade · 4N2 Spiced Sand- “This is my probably favorite skin tint that's more full coverage”

Armani Beauty$49.00- “The Luminous Silk Skin Tint is exactly that. It's like the little sister of Armani Luminous Silk Foundation”▶ 7:40
- “It still has that gorgeous skin-like finish”▶ 7:57
- “When it sets down on the skin, it's not a radiant, dewy finish on the skin, but there are pearl pigments in here so that when you move your face and the light catches your face, you're going to have a little bit of that radiant bounce back without the skin looking dewy”▶ 8:01
- “I love the way this sets down”▶ 8:14
- “Most days when I'm wearing it, I don't even wear powder with it because within 5 to 10 minutes, it's really taken on its final form, and I feel like it just looks very skin-like, very softly powdered, but it does pair nicely with powder as well, so that's not an issue”▶ 8:16
- “The coverage is just a more toned-down version of Luminous Silk, And I feel like this is also a little bit easier to apply than luminous silk for day to day because it applies just as nicely with a brush as it does your fingertips”▶ 8:24
- “It's kind of like a serum skin tint. So it's not like a tinted moisturizer. I just I like the formula a lot more”▶ 8:35
- “It's not too sticky or heavy”
- “If you do like luminous silk foundation as much as I do, like if you put that in some of your top used makeup and something that you always go back to, I definitely think the skin tint is worth looking at”▶ 8:52

- “The mario foundation is so lightweight”
- “It's going to be a lot more comfortable. It's got a good amount of flex to the product”▶ 10:27

- “The MAKEUP BY MARIO one does a really good job at kind of staying in place. Especially when it's set with powder, a really great long wear and despite being a matte foundation, it does not feel drying on the skin”▶ 10:45

- “With the Sarah Creal Concealer, it doesn't do that”▶ 14:11
- “It's not creaseless but I do find it settles into my lines around my eyes significantly less than other concealers and I like the finish on the skin it more of a satin finish”▶ 14:20
- “I like that this one has really amazing longevity it's like once it sets down it's got pretty good wear time on its own but again if you set it with powder it will be there the entire day no touch-ups needed”▶ 14:33
