Tinted moisturizers are a nicer and lighter alternative to concealer or foundation. They're great in the summer because they're so sheer.
Whereas the two latter can get cakey when applied atop of dry skin, tinted moisturizers even out skin tone without risk of looking overly made-up.
Sadly, they are quite expensive. But you can rectify this problem by making your own: just mix one part day-cream/moisturizer, one part liquid foundation, and one part sunblock (optional, but certainly a good idea!) for a relatively affordable replacement.
If you're intent on buying the real thing however, I've found Marcelle Sheer Tint Fluid Moisturizer (available at most Shoppers Drug Marts) to be the easiest to blend in, even above the Burt's Bees equivalent.
Anyway, if you're looking for a summery, low-maintenance look without risk of visible complexion flaws, this is the perfect thing.
Hope it works for you!
