With the weather changing you may want a new foundation, but also a little touch of skin care too. So, look no further than tinted moisturiser, which combines base and moisturiser.
We encouraged a foundation-free Leigh-Anne Kyle, an office manager from London, to break her bare-faced rule and sample five of the many tinted moisturisers on the market… Here's her verdict.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
£30
'I was extremely impressed with this product. It felt very silky and smooth when applied, and although it was light and sheer, it gave my complexion a flawless look, without feeling as though my face was caked in make-up. I do not tend to apply anything to my face, especially during the day, however, after using this product I would definitely invest in this specific brand of tinted moisturiser!'

Nivea Visage Tinted Daily Moisture Cream
£5.99
'This moisturiser went on seamlessly and gave my complexion an instant healthy glow. However, just a couple of hours into the day, this had faded significantly. By the end of the day it had disappeared completely, leaving my complexion looking dull and pale. A nice product, but not as long-lasting as the others – so be sure to carry one in your handbag for touch-ups'
Available nationwide 
Bobbi Brown SPF15 Tinted Moisturiser
£24
'I felt this product was very 'heavy' when applied - more like a foundation than a tinted moisturiser. I was pleased with the overall look and felt my complexion had an impressive radiant glow. However, given the fact that tinted moisturiser is supposed to be a lighter, more natural alternative to foundation, I felt that it failed in that respect. Too heavy for me, but good for girls who want more coverage than usual tinted moisturiser, but less than a foundation.'

Dior Bronze Tinted Moisturiser
£20
'This brand made me feel fantastic! I had numerous compliments from friends telling me how 'well' and how 'bronzed' I looked. I looked as though I had just come back from a weekend break, as my face had an overall glow. Great all over coverage, yet subtle enough to avoid looking too 'OTT'. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to give their complexion an instant boast, particularly with spring/summer just around the corner! '
