Have one look at the recent launches in the beauty industry, and you will realise that make-up with the benefits of skincare is the future. And we aren’t just talking about serum foundations (which can still have ingredients such as talc) or blushes; even your sunscreen can become a multi-tasking product with a little tint.

“For a super natural finish when I don’t want to do full-face make-up, I opt for tinted sunscreens with a little bit of concealer under the eyes and around the mouth. Add some tint as blush and a tinted lip balm for an easy, natural summer look,” reveals celebrity make-up artist Saloni Jain, who works with stars including Kiara Advani.
She suggests picking a lightweight and serum-textured sunscreen for a look that becomes a part of your skin within minutes, and looks natural, too.
Jain rolls out handy tips to use a tinted sunscreen:
. I love to use a skin-tinted sunscreen with cheek tint. Mix sunscreen with a liquid highlighter and top it with some tint on your cheeks for that glowy natural look.
. For flawless body glow, mix sunscreen with liquid highlighter and bronzer.
. For a dewy natural base for make-up, I like to mix a tinted sunscreen with a little bit of strobe cream for the most natural finish and sun protection.
