Jouer Luminizing Tint, Pearl

OMG! Holy Grail for me - I do have an oily face, but as long as I apply it carefully it gives me a glow that isn't wet, dewy (another name for wet in my opinion), or too glittery. I'm fairly oily and have a daily struggle with foundation. Longwear foundations break down on my oil, and oil free mattifying foundations wear off (regardless of primers, etc). For perfect all day 12 hour results: I skip moisturizer and just use smashbox oil free primer. Then (Wayne goss tip) I use a translucent setting powder (Ben bye neutral set) with a big fluffy brush. Then I put a pea size amount of jouer moisture tint on the back of my hand and apply a very very very thin layer with my damp beauty blender to even my skin tone (despite my oil I don't have acne - just a bit of redness). Then I do my under eye concealer, bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Then I set again with Laura mercier translucent setting powder with a puff and work it into my skin. Then finally I use Ben Nye final set setting spray to lessen the powdery look. Results: amazing and a luminous glow despite my oily skin. I maaaaybe need to use an oil blotting sheet once during the day - otherwise get a perfect 12 hour wear. Yes - that's a lot of product and steps. I'm not afraid of makeup and don't mind. I've tried the same above routine with 10+ other foundations (YSL fusion ink, MUF HD, MUF Matte, Givenchy, Este Lauder Double Wear, NARS luminous all day wear, etc). I cannot get the same results from anything else and I get more oil/shine breakthrough on everything else. I think the secret here is how LIGHT of an application I can get with Jouer luminizing moisture tint. I know there is a matte version of this as well - but honestly I don't need to try it because I don't get any oil breakthrough with this one.

This is without a doubt thee best tinted moisturizer!! I have tried 5 other tinted moisturizer products and they do not come close! The coverage is amazing and I wasn't expecting it to be. It doesn't need anything else with it. No powder or concealer is needed with Jouer! I've been using it for 2 years now. I tried to find something a sephora a few times but nothing comes close. It needs to be ordered on line because no where that I'm aware of carries it. I usually buy 2 or 3 at a time. The golden and the bronze are my colors. Deep Bronze was too dark so I gave it to a friend--- now she is addicted! It really is an amazing product. The jouer primer I wasn't happy with but this tinted moisturizer is amazing!!! A must have!!!

This is a lovely sheer foundation with a luminous glow. I am very fair (NC15) and the opal shade was just right for me. This works like a lightweight BB cream. On a good skin day I could wear this alone with concealer, but that is for very light coverage. Most days I would wear this under foundation. On my dry cheeks and undereyes I need moisturizer underneath this, so I wouldn't buy this thinking that it is a substitute for a tinted moisturizer. But the good news is that it won't make your skin look shiney or greasy. I thought at first that I should not use it in my T-zone, but it is absolutely fine used all over the face. It is a lovely addition to my makeup because it creates a sheer glow.

This is a VERY light coverage tinted moisturizer. I love tinted moisturizer. I use if time and time again instead of foundation but this just isn't my favorite. It barely does anything other than give my face some SPF and maybe evens out a little bit of redness but other than that it's just eh. I'll definitely use it on beach days or very limited makeup days but other than that it's just very okay. I would go reach for my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer or my NARS Tinted Moisturizer much quicker.

I love the sheen on this. There are huge chunks of glitter, but there is definite little shimmer to it. The coverage is sheer, but it is slightly buildable, unlike other tinted moisturizers I have. I am very fair skinned, and unfortunately it leans warm, so it does look a little orange on me (hence the four star review) but because it's so light in coverage it's not that noticeable. This makes my skin (I'm 35) look much young with a more youthful glow. I throw this on when I don't want to wear a lot of makeup, but still want some coverage. It stays on fairly long too. I can go 6 hours or so before needing a touch up. My skin is normal.

I had gotten this in a BirchBox sample first and stuck it in a drawer forever since it was called "golden" - I use the Fair/Light combo in BareMinerals and Benefit if that gives anyone a better idea that my skin isn't necessarily "golden". I've tried a lot of BB creams and love this one a lot more! I have broken out a few times since I've started using it regularly, but it probably also is due in part to stress and my diet over 4th of July weekend. This goes on easily, blends in easily and doesn't leave you looking greasy at the end of the day! I apply under my bare minerals powder each day and it works like a charm. Pretty good coverage as well. I've tried the Black and Gold Dr.Jarts, BareMinerals BB Cream as well as SmashBox and this is by far my favorite of them all!

I would not call this luminizing, it was almost a liquid highlighter. It was pretty, and felt like a nice formula, but way to shimmery to wear all over my face.

This is my favorite daytime foundation. It provides light to moderate coverage with a nice iridescence that doesn't leave my face shiny or cakey. I do apply concealer along with it for areas that need more coverage, and they blend nicely together. After both the tint/foundation and concealer I apply a light bronzer to blend it all together. I live in Houston where it's very hot and humid, and this tint holds up to the heat and moisture just fine!
