Last year, many of us went foundation-free while cooped up at home amidst lockdown. But as life slowly goes back to normal, we can't help but yearn for more coverage again. This time, though, we no longer have the effort to apply a full base—especially in this sweltering heat. So we find ourselves reaching for skin tints, the dewy and skin-friendly alternatives of our former full coverage favorites. And JSYK, these weightless tints aren't heavy on the wallet either.
If you're looking for some recs, here's a list of 10 natural, long-wearing skin tints under P1000:
1. Belo SunExpert Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++
