Quick Take: contains SPF, lightweight
Love this product!! Great for my sensitive skin, is not at all greasy and has great coverage! Have given up using foundation as with this product I don't even need it! Highly recommended, as it is buildable and I need to use a little more on my chin as I have rosacea.

There are not enough good things to say about this! I have spent thousands of dollars searching for the perfect foundation, never even considering a tinted moisturizer. But this is amazing. Coverage is perfect, matches me, exactly, stays long term, what else could you ask for???

I actually like that this is thicker, like a foundation. Much better coverage than a regular tinted moisturizer. I have very oily skin, and did breakout at first until my skin got used to it. You only need to use a tiny bit. I use the Hourglass foundation brush, which I absolutely love.

Quick Take: lightweight, contains SPF, sheer coverage
This is an amazing product. Hourglass is a wonderful line all together. I wear this in "Shell" and it blends perfectly on my skin. I use this as a tinted moisturizer and foundation. I highly recommend their primer (I use "veil") and their synthetic makeup brush for moisturizer/foundation is a must!

Quick Take: contains SPF, lightweight
Yes, this amazing skin perfecting tinted moisturizer is expensive, but you only need one pump for the whole face..using more than that ruins its performance. Once buffed into the skin with a foundation brush your skin becomes moist, luminous, natural perfection. I use concealer on spots and (sometimes) finish with setting powder. This never oxidizes into that tacky orange color that all other tinted moisturizers morph into after an hour. This is definitely a high quality and a favorite product of mine.

Love this foundation
-05.08.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I know they call this a tinted moisturizer but the coverage is pretty much foundation level for me. I love the way it makes my skin look, the ease of application and the staying power. I took one star off because the colors don't exactly match (I do better in summer than in winter with the color range) but I make it work.

Quick Take: contains SPF, lightweight, awesome
I am on my tenth bottle. Expensive but worth it. It is more like a whipped foundation, not a tinted moisturizer. Covers up flaws and brown spots, sinks into wrinkles , yet is light and looks fresh in the sunlight. I would cry If they quit making it!

I got a sample of this and am now conflicted about spending all that money for a full size. I adored the product and now feel that my life is empty without it. I have pretty good skin with minimal acne but a little redness and unevenness on my cheeks attributed to the summer sun. This is a thicker tinted moisturizer, as the light ones don't even my skin tone at all, and foundations tend to be too much. This is the perfect balance and made my skin look flawless. It also seems to go a long way, as I got four uses out of that tiny sample packet. All in all, if money isn't an issue, this is an amazing product.

Why so much glitter?
-04.30.13
Quick Take: lightweight, glittery
I got a sample of this make up and I was thrilled with it! It was so rich and blendable and it lasted the entire day without settling into lines or caking. So a friend gave me her full-sized bottle, and I have to say I'm glad I DIDN'T spend money on it. Why is the full-sized product a different formula!? It's packed with so much shimmer that you can see individual sparkles on my face from 3 feet away! Although the make up in the full bottle is still blendable and long-lasting, I can't take the glitter. Why tempt me with a perfect product in sample form, when it's not the same as your full-sized product? Shame on you, Hourglass.

Really love this product. This tinted moisturizer provides just the right amount of coverage and adds natural luminosity. Yes, this product is a little pricey, but since a little goes a long way and it is one of the few remaining vegan beauty lines, I think it's worth it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tinted moisturizer!
-04.28.13
This is the best tinted moisturizer I have ever tried! Works great by it self when you just need some light coverage and looks awesome with powder as well! I am in my early 30's and have dry skin & find a lot of others I have tried will settle into all of the fine lines on my face & make me look older, especially around my eyes. Not this one! It does just the opposite! I can't say enough great things! Well worth the money!!!

healthy foundation
-04.27.13
i like the fact nothing harmful is in this product. I have used the Hourglass primer with this tinted moistsurizer and like the look. The tinted moisturizer is more like a foundation then a tinted moisturizer. It really covers well yet is not drying nor too heavy. I have tried all the new and major foundations and found this one to be excellent.

-04.27.13
Quick Take: contains SPF, lightweight, moisturizing, excellent coverage
I really wanted a full coverage product but NOT a foundation or anything even remotely resembling my make-up routine that I usually do for work. This tinted moisturizer is amazing. It does the trick by covering up my acne scars and large pores, while still allowing my skin to look like MY SKIN and not heavily made up. It adds a beautiful dewy glow and makes my skin feel hydrated and not greasy. I have unfortunately reached the point in my life where running out the house to do errands or have lunch face naked is no longer an option. This makes me feel beautiful and not made up and helps me pull off a lazy girl 'natural' look

-04.26.13
Quick Take: contains SPF, full coverage
I got this as a sample and absolutely fell in love this product. I am a tinted moisturizer junkie and let me tell you....this product really delivers. This product is more on the heavy side and it covers like a foundation. I definitely consider this to be more of a Full Coverage Tinted Moisturizer. This product is great for anyone with noticeably larger pores and acne issues. I have regular breakouts and use this over my acne treatment. It is very creamy and very hydrating. A little goes a long way. I have purchased the full size in this product and I absolutely LOVE IT!

best. foundation. ever.
-04.25.13
Quick Take: lightweight, sheer coverage
I was all set to buy the new cc cream, but Sephora had kindly sent me this as a sample in a previous order, so I figured I'd give it a try. And whoa! My huge pores are completely hidden, and suddenly my skin looks like I was 18 again (for the record, I'm 33). Added to which, this gives you a really subtle fresh-faced glow. It's amazing! So I skipped the cc and bought this 3 weeks ago and have been getting compliments ever since. Trust me, it's worth the price.

Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight, oil free, free of harsh chemicals
I went in to buy a BB cream and walked out with this Hourglass Tinted Moisturizer. I usually don't part with $50+ for a product like this but I thought this product felt so good on my skin. It is very nice, lightweight coverage and makes my skin look great and brighter. It is supposed to last 8 months as it requires only a small amount for each use. I still use a moisturizer first before applying as I live in a VERY DRY climate but have found that this moisturizer stays true to color and lasts all day.
