The Best Makeup-Skincare Hybrid Products to Add to Cart for an Ultimate Glow

Before the genius invention of hybrid skincare-makeup products, our complexions weren’t living up to their highest glowy potential.

Of course, the right skin prep is important for setting the perfect canvas for makeup to glide on more smoothly, last longer and (sometimes) offer luminosity, but we - ‘the people’ were looking for makeup products that offered something a little more skin-boosting while still giving us a natural-looking finish.

Well, the makeup gods (read: all the clever makeup brands) heard our calls, went back to their boardrooms and said:

Now skincare makeup has become a *huge* trend (one we predict is thankfully here to stay).

From skin tints to blushes, mascaras and lip products, this new wave of multi-functional makeup skincare hybrids include popular skin-loving ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to ensure your base is base-ing and your makeup is makeup-ing to the nth degree.

In other words, giving your complexion a nourished, hydrated natural looking finish while your face reaps the benefits of skin-loving ingredients.

The perfect no makeup-makeup products!

Personally, I'm so happy skincare-infused makeup is a thing, because I can't imagine my makeup bag without these complexion-boosting products.

Side note: We have a mammoth selection of skincare-infused makeup, here's just some to keep on your radar...

Best Skin Tints.

Sitting in that sweet spot between makeup/foundations and skincare is skin tints or serum foundations which have seen a huge surge in popularity thanks to TikTok.

As we move into the warmer seasons, this is even more reason to be trading in our heavier cakey foundations in favour of base products products that feel weightless and breathable while offering us skincare benefits as they sit pretty on our faces all day.

Here's just a few to try:

L'Oreal Paris True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum.

Contains:  1% pure hyaluronic acid, hydrogenated jojoba oil, rosa canina fruit oil and centaurea cyanus flower extract.

We don’t expect all-day coverage from our skin tints, but if you were after a more affordable serum foundation that goes the distance, then add the $40 L'oreal true match serum foundation to your cart stat.

An Adore Beauty office fave, this isn’t just a great skincare-infused makeup product, it’s just an amazing skin tint and serum foundation in general.

It offers a luminous satin finish with light-medium buildable coverage and thanks to the hyaluronic acid in the formula, leaves your face looking more plump.

This is one of my top picks for an everyday wear skin tint (and TikTok agrees with a whopping 600M views on this skincare-based makeup product).

Check out how dewy it leaves your skin after just one application in this video.

M.A.C COSMETICS Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation.

Contains: 10% hyaluronic acid solution, vitamin E, jojoba oil and olive oil (plus 33 other skincare ingredients!) to give you a radiant finish.

A new personal favourite, I’m going to do a MAC serum foundation review for you soon but long story short - it’s amazing.

Coverage, shade match, texture, finish - fires on all cylinders.

Shade range is something MAC does pretty well, and this gorgeous serum foundation comes in an impressive 56 shades.

It leaves an incredibly luminous finish that is natural, enhancing your own skin in the best way possible. Also leaves skin looking bouncier.

Like all skin tints and serum foundations, this one is super buildable although I found one application enough for me.

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint.

Contains: Shea butter and hyaluronic acid to nourish, hydrate and soften the skin.

That’s not all. This sweat and humidity-resistant skin tint is also infused with vitamins B, C, E and D.

The Bobbi Brown skin tint warms up the skin beautifully. If you want a fresh luminous base for a day occasion - this is the one for you.

The texture does come out heavy, but as soon as you start blending and applying on the face it sheers out leaving a smooth, super dewy finish that looks like you’ve hardly got anything on.

I loved the fresh, glowy finish and wore it out on a lunch date, but found that I did need to apply a few layers for the coverage I wanted.

AB staffer and makeup aficionado Adele also loves this skin tint...

She says, “I love the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Skin Tint as it's a glass of water for the skin. Giving the skin a beautiful  luminous finish whilst hydrating it throughout the day. Perfect for the sunny spring days with its light-medium coverage you simply cannot go wrong.”

Now before we move on to concealers it would be silly of us not to mention both the Clinique Serum Foundation (special because it also includes Clinique's unique UP302 ingredient - a brightening botanical molecule that is known for its antioxidant properties).

And if you want a skincare-infused skin tint that imparts a gorgeous glow and makes you look like you’ve just had a facial the Huda Beauty GloWish Multi Dew Skin Tint is my top pick (if you're looking for fuller coverage though this won't be the one for you).

Concealers.

Harnessing the power of skincare ingredients like caffeine, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, skincare-infused concealers work overtime to plump, brighten and hydrate the under eye area while also masking dark circles.

I personally find concealers with the inclusion of skincare benefits make my makeup look healthier and more illuminated too - which is exactly what someone with dark and dry under eyes like me needs in their life.

There’s a whole host of them you can find on Adore Beauty, here's just a few worth noting:

Clinique Even Better All-Over Concealer + Eraser.

Contains: vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and caffeine.

There’s a reason my under eyes and I constantly rave about this full coverage concealer.

While vitamin C and hyaluronic acid plump and hydrate caffeine is there to help energise tired and puffy-looking eyes.

You can see in the image above what a difference concealers with and without skincare ingredients can make on the skin!

This correcting concealer also makes the top of my cheeks look instantly more plump which is why I love it so much.

IT Cosmetics ByeBye Dark Spots Concealer.

Contains: niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and caffeine.

A concealer-serum hybrid, this one includes one of my favourite ingredients - niacinamide.

Not only am I getting the plumping and brightening benefits I'm getting the calming benefits of niacinamide too.

Though not as high coverage as the Clinqiue, the creamy texture and skin-enhancing ingredients still make this a great pick, especially for those like me with creasy, dry under eyes.

Also, the built-in kabuki brush tip - so.cute.

This one can be used by sensitive skin too.

Lip Products With Skincare.

I mean a lip product that will simultaneously hydrate and nourish your lips is a no brainer!

Here’s some to try:

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil.

Contains: a host of skincare benefits and ingredients that include organic jojoba, hazelnut and sweetbriar rose.

With over 41 millions views on TikTok, the iconic Clarins lip oil sits at the top of the list.

Lip care infused with the power of plant oils to nourish, protect and enhance lips while adding shine. Yes please.

Also comes in a selection of 10 stunning shades.

Lanolips Tinted Lip Balm SPF30.

Contains: vitamin E, cacao seed butter, shea butter and grape seed oil.

Alongside its hero ingredient of natural lanolin, the iconic Lanolips has a few tinted versions that deliver colour, gloss all while hugging your lips with the beautiful blend of oils.

A makeup bag staple this one!

Blushes.

Taking the job description 'adding a healthy flush’ quite literally, add these blushes to cart for their skincare ingredients alone.

*Again, Adore Beauty boasts a host of skincare-infused blushes here’s just some to try:

Barry M Fresh Face Cheek & Lip Tint.

Contains: Aronia Berry (a great antioxidant), hyaluronic acid, glycerin.

This sheer tint isn't just loved for its inclusion of skin-loving ingredients, the $10 price point is also a big tick.

It's also a multipurpose product so you can swipe some of that goodness across your pout too!

Comes in Blackberry, Deep Rose, Summer Rose, Caramel Kisses and Peach Glow.

Eco Tan Cream Blush.

Contains: Get ready for this gorgeous cocktail - Organic castor seed oil, vegetable-derived triglyceride, candililla wax, shea fruit, organic orange peel oil, vitamin E.

Pigmented, creamy and imparts a rosy glow while those nourishing ingredients keep your cheeks hydrated.

This would be the perfect skincare- infused blush for winter!

Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint Blush Stick.

Contains: Safflower seed oil, vitamin E, litchi chinensis fruit extract.

If there's one blush AB Staffers can't get enough of it's the Huda Cheeky Tint Blush Stick (in all shades).

Besides depositing the most beautiful (but subtle) shades on the cheeks, the dewy sheen it leaves stays on all day and doesn’t feel dry or cake after a few hours of wear - which makes sense when you know the ingredients contained inside!

This list and article could truly go on forever with the array of skincare-infused products we have at Adore Beauty (we didn't even mentioned all the great skincare-infused macaras), next time!
