Hey dark skinned beauties! Don’t we all love to experiment with new makeup products in the market? In recent times there has been a call for makeup products that are lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. Enter Serum Skin Tints, which are lightweight, give sheer coverage and also have nourishing qualities.
As a brand that believes in inclusivity, we provide skin tint shades for all skin types, including serum tints for dark skin.
What Differentiates a Serum Skin Tint from a Foundation?
There was a time when the makeup aisle just had one or two face makeup formulations- either a compact or a creme foundation. Eventually, this led to the use of modern liquid foundations that we know and love.
The general difference between foundations and serum skin tints lies in the skincare ingredients like oils, serums, moisturisers, etc. Each formula differs in texture and usability of the product.
Traditionally a foundation is meant for a medium to high coverage. A skin tint, however, is great for those who prefer a lighter and sheer look.
What to Consider When Picking a Serum Tint for Dark Skin
Let’s take a look at the basics while considering a serum skin tint for dark skin.
Firstly, establish your exact skin undertones. There are 3 types of undertones: Warm, Cool, and Neutral. One of the most common ways to recognize the undertones is by looking at the veins. Olive green veins mean warm, blue means cool, and a tone of green or purple means neutral. To understand this step better you can check our detailed guide here.
While taking into account your skin shade for the perfect match, don’t skip on knowing your skin type. Knowing the skin type is the key, whether you have oily, dry, combination, acne prone skin, etc. However your skin may be, our Skip Everything Serum Skin Tint has a shade suitable for all types of skin tones and types!
Now, let’s look at some additional things to consider:
Wearability: This is a universal tip for all skin types including dark skin tones.
To know what type of skin makeup product works for you, analyse when and how long your will be wearing it. If you need something subtle and wearable for daily use, brunch plans, or summer holidays then a lightweight Serum skin tint like Skip Everything will be perfect for you. Serum skin tints are meant to give a more natural skin-like finish.
For occasions like weddings or any other big events, a foundation with buildable (high) coverage like our Lights! Camera! Foundation could be more suitable. (Of course, the choice is yours, pick what feels the most comfortable to you!)
Is Skin Tint the Same as Tinted Moisturiser for Dark Skin?
To point out the main difference, a tinted moisturiser is quite literally a moisturiser with some ‘tint’ added to it. Which means that the main purpose of it is to moisturise all while adding a tinge of coverage to it.
On the other hand, our serum skin tint is especially made to provide a gentle coverage that is perfect for dark beauties and also has skincare benefits.
