LEIGH CAMPBELL: 'I've found a new tinted moisturiser perfect for everyday. And it's $14.'

If you're a fan of the 'no-makeup' makeup look or simply prefer an easy-to-apply product that offers lightweight coverage, a tinted moisturiser will quickly become your best friend.

Seen as an extension of your skincare routine, a quality tinted moisturiser provides instant benefits, including improved skin tone and added radiance.

But if you've been struggling to find the perfect formula that's also affordable, you're in luck. On a recent episode of You Beauty podcast's Spendy Savey, our resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell told co-host Kelly McCarren all about a new tinted moisturiser she was influenced to buy after several people recommended it in the You Beauty Facebook group.

"I don't want one of those skin tints that's literally almost nothing, but I don't want foundation," Leigh said.

Yes, it's a beauty brand many of us Aussies are probably unfamiliar with, and yes, the fact that it's only available from online stockists like iHerb (or Amazon for $14.36) may spark some hesitation. But don't let that deter you from trying it out.

"It's really nice," Leigh confirmed.

The tinted skin veil provides a sheer-to-medium tint for a flawless and softly luminous complexion. It's also packed with a blend of skin-loving ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and plant-derived squalane, to promote supple, hydrated skin throughout the day.

"It's juicy but not greasy-looking-juicy — just plump," Leigh concluded.

The formula can be easily adapted to suit your skin's needs.

"You can juice up your skincare underneath if you want more dewy, or you can just go ahead and use a powder or whatever on top," Leigh noted.

She's not the only one who's been impressed — the product is backed by thousands of five-star reviews. In fact, it has over 13,600 five-star ratings on Amazon alone, with many users amazed at the results of such a budget-friendly product. It's even won over those with sensitive skin.

"Great product," one happy reviewer wrote. "Doesn't bother my sensitive skin or my sensitive eyes. Very light coverage. Very hydrating. Non-greasy. Forgiving colour matching due to the sheer coverage."

Another person with sensitive skin said, "To my surprise, this small tube is really worth the dollar. It is thick (you don't need to use a lot) and can cover the whole face. It can be used as foundation and concealer as well. I have sensitive skin, so I am cautious about what I apply to my face. Surprisingly, I've experienced no breakouts, no inflammation, and my makeup still looks fresh even after a whole day."

On iHerb, the product is available in four shades — Porcelain, Light, Light Medium and Deep. While Leigh admitted the Light Medium she purchased is "a little bit too light" for her skin tone, she's been mixing it with another favourite to create the perfect shade and coverage.

"I've been mixing a tiny drop of my favourite Revolution Bronzing Drops to make it my shade." (FYI, you can buy the Revolution Bright Light Bronzing Drops online at Priceline for only $24.)

Plus, since the tint is such a bargain, you can probably afford to invest in a few shades to create a custom mix — ensuring your skin tone is covered from summer through to winter.

It's a win-win situation all around.
