Tinted serums are the equivalent of a beauty filter in a bottle, a key to perfecting a no-makeup radiant finish. Basically a cure-all for indecisive people or those who simply want an all-in-one beauty product that slices beauty routine times in half, tinted serums are the "IT" makeup-skincare hybrid on the market.

The double-duty product blends the flawless coverage of makeup and the skincare ingredients of a serum that simplifies a routine for getting a gorgeous, flawless complexion in a single step. While tinted serums don’t cover like a foundation, they give a natural, sheer coverage that can conceal blemishes, pigmentation spots, and dark circles.

That said, tinted serums’ main job is to infuse the skin with the benefits of a serum formula with a high concentration of active ingredients to treat specific skin woes like dull complexion, dry skin, acne-prone, and oily skin.
