Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15
I’ve been a big fan of tinted moisturizers this Summer. But I have to say… finding the right one for your skin-tone is as tricky as selecting a foundation!
If your skin tends to be a wee bit orange, you’ll like Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15 in light/medium. This tinted moisturizer actually provides more coverage than most, and blends to a delightful tan/coral shade. For me, this shade simply doesn’t work. I’m way too pale! Despite the name “light/medium”, I personally think someone with solidly medium skin-tone would do quite nicely with this product… plus, it has an SPF15!
What do you think… is it a winner for you?
Retail price is $44.

Dramatic eyes, bolder neutral shades punctuated with color, lashes out to there, mid-tone lips, and flawless skin (even under a magnifying glass–gulp). Perfection!
