The ONLY one that doesn’t break me out is the Ilia tinted foundation, you making the spread sheet made me realize why! Thank you so much! 🙂
Love your hair here!
I've watched this video a hundred times and i never get bored cause i love skin tints and your bubbly personality
Love this and the spreadsheet! I have the same skin color and skin type as you so your videos are super helpful. I am wondering if you could review the Mychelle Dermaceuticals Sun Shield Liquid SPF 50? It is a tinted sunscreen with a "matte" finish that I think would be comparable to a skin tint.
Completely spot on- love the precision and specificity!!💖👍🏻💫
Hi!! What sunscreens do you recommend to wear everyday and that goes well under makeup??
To this day, I still check the spreadsheet and watch this video! 🙂
I never thought about the ingredients of face base products and how they could affect performance with other products. Thank you for this 💕 it was a very educational video, and it saved my wallet from buying the Florence skin tint 🙏🏼
Hey, Kackie, thanks for this vid. Have you found any other powders, since the ones you mentioned during this comparison, that work with skin tints? I have to avoid castor oil, which the ilia one has, and kaolin & cones, like the wowder has. Thanks!
Can you do a skin care wais tented moisture?
“There’s a search bar…” 🤔🧐😬🤣🤣🤣
what's wrong with coconut??
Oh, my goodness! The chart!!! You don’t know how much you saved me with this entire set up. Home girl was struggling to narrow things down. Thx!🤗
the spreadsheet, honestly , werk , period
The cover girl skin milk is one of my favorites!!
Girl. You brought it. This was great! Thank you so much!

This was sooooooooooooooooo helpful! As soon as I heard you say the only ones without coconut are ilia and supergoop that cuts all the options to two, breakout-wise. Thank you!
My favorite skin tints are the Wet n Wild tinted hydrator and the new Tarte Hydroflex Serum. They are incredible on so many levels
i have a difficult time finding colors that work on my skin. I am very fair with pink undertones. It seems that you are the same. Usually the fair tones are warm, which turn orange on my skin and I absolutely hate that.
You gave a great list. Thanks
The covergirl one broke me out really bad. Just got the QMC one today
What is your go to separate SPF to wear with your makeup?
2020:Year of Skin Tints
2021: Year of Cream- everything
Love how informative and thorough you are, new sub!
The MOST valuable!
“Tar-jee” … are you Canadian? Your skin is glowing!
The spreadsheet instantly boosted my already high respect for you Kackie!!!😘
Btw please do an updated review of Jones Road beauty. They have added more products! ( complexion face pencils, lip and cheek sticks, sparkle wash eye glass, powder eye shadows is lots of colors: flat shades and shimmery ones, eye brow pencils that have hair like fibers and water/sweat proof= doubles as eyeshadow/liner/white hair fill in between appointments!)
The tiny swatches on your chin show absolutely nothing. It would've been helpful if you simply put the products on half of your face, showed how it covered your freckles, showed the finish type and wiped each off. Frustrating to watch
Would love to see an updated video like this with the skin tints that have come out this year. Love these vids. I have lots of tints/sheer foundations but haven’t found my holy grail yet
I love the covergirl skin milk. Almost didn't buy it because people said it had a weird bread smell, but mine had a very faint perfume scent. That foundation is PERFECT for super-quick out the door look, I hardly have to blend with my fingers and it looks so natural, but it's light to medium coverage.
It even replaced my tarte maracuja moisturizer..
Great review. It’s well thought out and addresses all points that consumers look for.
One thing i find odd – WHY THE HATE FOR COCONUT?
I think beauty community is going nuts with this. Most Asians literally grew up using coconut oil in food or as skin/ hair care and we are known to have best of both!
Stop demonizing an organically produced ingredient and some times, something that’s really important to our culture, in the name of “beauty”. This is infuriating.
Ps: about the shade range, that’s funny. Haha now you know what it feels like to be PoC and not have any shades. It pretty much happens all the time 😭😭
I love the spreadsheet
Loved this!!!!! Please do an updated one soon!!!! Awesome vid!!!!!!!
I’m not in the know… what do you mean by “Wayne Gods territory”?
Supposedly The Ordinary's skin tint is quite similar to the Glossier.
The fact that there's a spreadsheet nearby made me cry lol The simple things matter
