I bought this on a whim as I'd received a multitude of gift cards for my birthday and I have to say there's nothing really special about this product. Coverage is VERY sheer to the point of being non-existent and the formula is not very moisturizing. The only good thing seems to be the SPF it contains and it doesn't leave that awful shiny face look you get from most tinted moisturizers. I've tried it on its own, which tends to leave my skin dry and over moisturizer which is ok. The only good things I'd have to say about it, is that it hasn't broken me out.

I pulled this out of my make up bag the other day. I love this! I put one covering on then another...just to give a little bit more coverage as its only a tinited moisturizer. I find if I used a really good exfolitator (I love Lush love lettuce) which helps give my skin a glow. This TM gives your skin a fresh glow and looks so lovely.

This is ok. The color selection isn't that great, which is the greatest con. Women of color may have a hard time finding a good match. Despite that, it works well. Blends nicely and fortunately for me, the color is a decent match (dark, I'm an nw43).
After trying NARS and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizers, once it's out, I won't be purchasing this again (even though I have a Pro discount).

This was the first MAC product I tried after hearing rave reviews about their products. I went to the MAC counter and told the saleswoman that I was looking for a medium-coverage foundation. I don't remember what she used on me first, but when I looked in the mirror, I looked like I was wearing a mask. I guess "medium" is a relative term, and I concluded that MAC foundations in general are very full-coverage, at least compared to what I'm used to. Anyway, the saleswoman told me that the only product they had with lighter coverage was the tinted moisturizer, so I tried that, along with one of their primers. It looked pretty good, so I went ahead and purchased both products. I was very happy with how my face looked throughout the rest of the day. However, after patting my skin with water that evening as I was preparing to wash my face, I looked in the mirror and, to my horror, saw the foundation literally running down my face in rivulets. It's safe to say that there is absolutely no way it would withstand sweating, swimming, rain, snow, etc., so I returned it.

I'm a big fan of MAC anyway and I pretty much swear by this product. My skin has a tendency to break out if I wear a heavy foundation, so I always stick to tinted moisturisers and this has been the best I've tried. It's easy to blend and apply and leaves quite a matte finish, which is important to me as with 'glowy' products my skin tends to end up looking oily a couple of hours after application. I think the price is reasonable and a bottle does last a long time - you don't need to apply much of the product as it gives better coverage than other tinted moisturisers.

Short Review: Crap, Don't buy it.
Longer Review: i've always had terrible skin, with breakouts and pimples being a 24/7/365 thing. three years ago i decided to start wearing something on my face to cover the shame and bought this along with the select cover-up concealer and for three years i lived with crappy skin that looked less crappy than it was. a month ago i decided to jump into the nars pure radiant tinted moisturizer bandwagon and kissed goodbye my long beloved beauty weapon. and to my surprise within two days of not using it (still putting stuff on my face of course) my pimples cleared completely and have since not gotten a single pimple. my face is in the process of clearing up from the acne scars and i have never since i was 14 been happier with the way my face looked.
i give this moisturizer two stars because along with the nars TM i also got a glycolic acid gel so i cant fully attribute the lack of pimples to the lack of use of the MAC TM. But if you can, just save a little more and buy something of better quality.

I am very lucky in that I have good skin so don't need to wear foundation. But sometimes I want to wear something just to give me a nice even tone and sheer skin and this is perfect! Its matched perfectly to my skin tone, (I have Indian skin) and it goes on smoothly. It is the first tinted moisturiser I have bought so I don't have much to compare it too. I do think for £20 it is way too expensive, but you only need a little bit of product and it lasts for ages. I would like to try other brands, but you can never go wrong with MAC.

I would repurchase this again if i couldn't find another tinted sunscreen + moisturizer that makes my face look nice and matte.
i used this all winter and i really liked it at first. i have very dry skin and therefore try to use moisturizing or dewy type foundations and it has always worked well on me. but on longer days, towards the end of the day i find my skin gets a little shiny and foundations/tinted moisturizers oxidize on me so i wanted a moisturizer with a matter formula. i guess my skin has been changing since highschool. i used to be able to characterize myself as dry and using liquid/moisturizing everything made me look so good. now i find oily/greasy face on some days but i still have a super flaky nose..sucks:( anyway i liked this at first but i found a few people had started asking me whether i tanned LOL and this is during the winter. so then i tried my foundation without it and found i looked less orange.
yes, i know maybe this is a tinted moisturizer so it is not meant to be used with a foundation exactly but a tinted moisturizer would never be enough coverage for my skin..especially with my dark circles, pigmentation etc..
i tried a few shades in this but to be honest there aren't very many shades to begin with and ALL of them made me look orangeish..not even towards the end of the day but right away!
the extra lippy i took off is due to the low spf of 15. i guess its ok for the winter but i`m trying to be more vigilant and smart about sunscreen usage. and some winter days here in toronto are pretty sunny even if it IS minus a gazzillion degrees.
but if you ARE looking for a lower spf tinted moisturizer that is matte then i say give it a try and just ask for a sample. i can see this making some peoples faces look very flawless with or without foundation.

I liked this tinted moisturiser, wouldn't rave about it being the best product ever but I liked it and it pretty much did what it was supposed to. It was a reasonable priced and went on fine. This is a pretty light coverage as you would expect and looked good on a summer day, not like you had a mask on/ridiculously made up. I bought this specifically for holiday for the SPF and to try and look reasonable while out in the hot sun. The SPF did a fair job, but I did end up a little burnt a couple of times - though pinky rather than lobster and peely!! I think I should have been reapplying this throughout the day to solve this. I did end up quite shiny, I'm never sure if you can blot/put powder over these and not affect the SPF?! Hmmm something to investigate I think...
This is better by miles than the Benefit You Rebel which is the only other tinted moisturiser that I've used. I would consider buying this again for deffo but plan to try the NARS one next, then Laura Mercier. Then I'll be buying the best out of these.

I love this! My skin looks flawless with this and it will definitely hide some hyper-pigmentations. It's best to use with a brush and finishing it with a mineral veil or powder so it looks natural and healthy! It stays on longer than i imagined and would look even more natural as hours went by. :) it does not cause breakouts or any reaction to my face.

I was so disappointed in this product. First of all, the color selection is very limited. I got the darkest color thinking it would match. When I looked at myself in the mirror the red undertone did not match me at all. People kept asking me if went tanning. Secondly it made me super oily. To the point where I had to blot my face several times during the day. understand it's a moisturizer, but i feel like it doesn't absorb properly into my skin. I literally looked like I rubbed grease all over my face....not attractive. I will be returning this product ASAP. I can definitely find better use for my $30.00.

I'm having mixed feelings about this product:
On one hand, I think it broke me out, as it had been a long time since I last had pimples (I get one every once in a while, but not two or three big ones at the same time), and this made my chin break out. It is true that it is not the only product I have started using this week, so I will update this if I see that this wasn't the problem. Another drawback is that it doen't moisturize at all, contrary to what you'd think by its name. It has a yellow undertone, which sometimes is a little bit annoying, but as I have fair skin, I can get away with it most of the time.
On the other hand, it gives the exact amount of coverage: really light, but can be built up a little bit if needed, which is perfect to give a quick and natural look.
I can not give a definitive opinion, as it is the first tinted moisturizer I have tried, but I think I will try another brand next time.

Love this product I have it in Deep Dark/ Dark Plus....Coverage isn't crazy, but it is amazing. I was always afraid of having too much coverage, and since I don't have much to had blemish wise it was a good option. I have dry skin, but I make sure to moisturize before, and the moisture in the tint works for me as well. I have gotten many compliments including when I visit the Mac counter. It looks like I'm wearing a little something, but not enough to think I have a face full of makeup on. It has enhanced my look for the better. In love <3 continued >>

I just got a sample of this yesterday at Nordies and fell back in love with this again! I used to love it but then I would get all flaky with it (I wasn't properly moisturized at the time) and blamed it on studio moisture tint.
I really like this. I use it and only built to light coverage and suprisingly when you build it up it doesn't cake! I have near perfects skin and this gives me a "fresh" look to my skin if that makes sence? I want to see how this looks mixed with strobe cream for a glowy look since on its own its a matte ish finish. HG def rebuy!

I have combination skin with moderate acne, and lately have been bouncing from product to product to try to get that flawless, all over airbrushed look. One of my friends recommended this for me, and at first I was skeptical because all of the tinted moisturizers I've tried, but when I tried this I was HOOKED! I bought it in Medium, and it matches perfectly to my skin. It doesn't feel heavy, even if I put a whole bunch on for special occasions. It moisturizes my face so I don't have dry spots, but doesn't break me out or make my face oilier. It evens out my skin tone and gives me a gorgeous, natural look. To apply it, I take a pea sized amount and use my fingers to rub it all over my face, then I squeeze some onto the back of my hand and take a stippling brush, dip it in and just dab all over my face until I get that flawless look. I will definitely be buying this again!

I have fairly pale skin but the artist at the MAC store recommended the medium, and I'd say it matches fairly well. Everything makes me break-out but this product seems to react well with my skin. When I say everything makes me break out, I mean that I currently only put 4 products on my skin- scrub, baby wash to cleanse, MAC powder and this Moisture Tint. It provides just enough moisture for my combination skin. I find the coverage to be very good and really borders on foundation coverage.

I kinda dislike this tinted mois. very much first my face got an allergic reaction to it, second, it melted on my face :o what a horrible mix. but I only have a sample size. Who ever is considering purchasing this please!! get a sample from MAC before buying the product and tested out.. There are couple tinted moisturizer that I have left to try.

I bought this looking for something that would even out my skin tone. I have oily acne prone skin and like to keep my makeup to a minimal natural look so foundation was out of the question. I was hesitant to spend $30 and hesistant because the color selection was limited (light, medium, dark, deep dark, etc). I love it and will repurchase again. It does exactly what it does. I still use my regular moisturizer. I have used this product with and without primer and works both ways. It does have that "makeup" smell to it. If Im going out or feeling really cute Ill set it with MAC loose powder. The MU artist applied this with one of those triangle makeup sponges so the product absorbs in the sponge, which I think causes me to use more but it goes on better and smoother than a brush andI dont like to use my fingers to apply makeup. Ive had it for a week and dont have any breakouts. Being that I have oily skin, after a few hours it doesnt look like sludge on my face or oxidize. Im happy :-)

I am normally an NC30-35 in MAC during these winter months. For the holidays I visit my family in Illinois (I live in Texas). So we are talking about humid Texas that is 70 degrees, then flying into the dry 20 degree weather of the windy city. So normally I can rock the Pro Long wear in Texas, but my skin was not havin that in Illinois. After consulting the Mac rep, he highly recommended the studio moisture tint for me. I was so surprised, because I always thought that I needed heavier coverage. But after he stippled medium dark studio moisture tint onto my skin, I couldn't believe how naturally smooth and hydrated my skin looked. I have oily skin normally but the climate change made my skin flake when I wear the very mat pro long wear. He didn't set the moisture tint, and the product didn't budge throughout the day (8 hours). I have worn this product only twice as I've only bought it two days ago. I will update if I have any negative side effects on my acne prone skin from using this regularly. I'm here in Illinois for two weeks, and plan on using this everyday. It's so easy to apply (I stipple the product on with a MAC 187 duo fiber brush). However, I most likely will only use this product during the winter months of Illinois. I doubt this product will suit my skin when I return to humid Texas, even in the winter.

I stopped wearing makeup for about 2-3 years and decided in the last few months to start back up but didn't want to pile on a lot of it. I purchased this for 30 bucks, which isn't bad considering the quality and that it lasts for (2) years after its opened. I use a small amount mixed with NARs orgasm to give my skin light coverage and a bit of luminosity. I love the tube as opposed to the glass bottle that their foundations come in; I never could get all the foundation out so it was a waste of money. With the tube I have more control over how much I use and I know I can squeeze out the last bits when the tube is low.
