What the gurus are saying

This tint melts into skin with a blurry, dewy, juicy finish that reads as bare skin rather than makeup, making it a summer favorite for those who like radiance. The texture is quite watery, so it may feel noticeable on the face until it fully absorbs, and in hot, humid climates that dewiness can make wear time tricky. Shade matching matters since the sheer formula shows undertones clearly as skin tone shifts with sun.

"This is Chanel's Water-Fresh Tint, also known as Les Beiges Eau de Teint, and it has these micro droplets of encapsulated pigments that melt into the skin on contact and it creates this sort of radiant bare skin effect. It is so pretty. It doesn't actually look like I'm wearing makeup, it's just this fuzzy blurry juicy kind of finish, which is just perfect for summer. I only use this in the summer."

"I'm going to give this a yellow because of the price tag. I feel like it would potentially be a yellow green, but I think I'm going to have to work with it a little bit more. The initial feel of this is kind of funny. If you've tried this and it's not working out for you, ask yourself if you've used a brush because I feel like this blended out with my fingertips was not as seamless."

"I've loved for years the water-fresh tint which just makes your complexion look better somehow."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
