Show your inner light: Aveda tinted moisturiser

I have always been very much a ‘liquid foundation kind of girl’ because I prefer to use a foundation that provides me with medium to full coverage. But even I have days where I feel like a more naturally glowing makeup look. A few months ago I came across Aveda’s new tinted moisturiser and I ended up using it a lot over summer for those hot days where you want a lighter/fresher face whilst still providing sheer to light coverage to hide any imperfections.  

Aveda, Inner Light is a mineral tinted facial moisturiser containing SPF15. It’s oil-free and non-acnegenic formula is lightweight, making it feel like you are not wearing anything yet giving you a smooth and even finish of sheer to light coverage with a dewy finish – allowing your inner light to shine through ;)

It has a refreshing smell and is full of certified organic ingredients such as:
♥ Titanium dioxide - a mineral derived sunscreen that helps provide protection against UVA UVB rays
♥ Coconut and jojoba seed - provide natural emollients that deliver oil-free hydration for soft skin with a dewy, moisturised finish.
♥ Resveratrol - anti-oxidant from Japanese knotweed that helps fights free radicals and protects against environmental aggressors.
♥ Tourmaline gemstone - a naturally energizing mineral that increases skins radiance. Unlike many other tinted moisturisers Aveda Inner Light is available in six shades: Aspen, Beechwood, Sweet Tea, Sandstone, Poplar, Sheer and Bark.


The shade I use is Beechwood (02)

I think this tinted moisturiser is great for those “no makeup” days like when you are going to the beach or to the gym!  But I also love wearing this tinted moisturiser, paired with a bit of concealer under the eyes and finished off with a quick dusting of powder for a more natural glowing makeup look.  Here is a recent face of the day with the Aveda TM:
The formula absorbs and blends in easily (I just use my favourite stippling brushes to apply) leaving your skin looking luminous and deeply hydrated at the same time. In that respect this tinted might not be that suitable for people with oily skin as I can imagine it could all become a little too shiny and oily but for me it’s perfect for a lighter and fresher look!
