 Skin Treat Poreless Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20

I am 52, aging skin and I wear foundation alot and didn't know if this would do enough for me. I love it, really covers decent for being a tinted moisturizer. I use a setting powder on top of it.

This goes on nicely and feels nice, but it leaves dry patchy spots that I wasnt expecting. My skin isnt normally dry.

Every now and then I take the advice of a TIkTok influencer and try some "awesome new 'holy grail' skin tint," but I always go back to this product. Every time. I've used it for about 6 years now and I have yet to find anything that comes close to it. It has such a spreadable, buildable, bendable, velvety texture that nothing else compares to. And it's like this while still feeling light on my skin. Bonus points for making the exact shade of pasty white to match my skin tone. 😆

I had very high hopes for this considering all of their other products are fantastic. It's weak, no coverage, and really doesn't minimize pores at all.

-Tarte Skin Treat Poreless Tinted Moisturizer- Age: 52 Skin type: combo with MAJORLY oily nose Issues: oily, LARGE pores, redness (from mild rosacea), fine lines First, I have zero idea WHY this would be called a "tinted moisturizer" bcz it in NO WAY is. Second, I will say that, as a light coverage buildable foundation, this is the best thing I've used since I had the perfect skin of youth. This stuff STAYS PUT as long as you don't use moisturizer (when I do, it comes right off). I use my estee lauder hydra primer straight on my clean face then this and set it with estee lauder setting spray and I can literally rub my face without transfer even in the Texas heat (I wear glasses and I can move them all around my nose without any movement in product). It doesn't settle into my pores or fine lines AT ALL and it's a good canvas for the rest of my makeup. It applies well with a brush but I've found that a sponge gains slightly better results. The only negative is the color variety. I first bought med-tan but it's WAY too dark. Then med, which was a LITTLE too dark. Then I tried light-med, which SEEMS to be my shade, but it somehow doesn't look right on me. It's NOT too light but IS too light at the same time, not sure how to describe it. What I do now is mix light-med and med together for the look I want. It's just a TAD on the dark side for me but this stuff somehow looks better darker.
