We all love a multi-tasking beauty product. Who doesn’t want to get a little extra shuteye in the morning? Multi-purposed beauty allows us to do that! 2-in-1 products cut down the process and give us glam in under 5 minutes. Never have the beauty gods answered our call as much as when they gave us the tinted moisturizer. This quick and simple product gives our skin the hydration it needs while covering up what we need covered. However, with such a miraculous product comes some downfalls. Who doesn’t love a pro and con list? Let’s be honest, we pro and con almost all of our decisions. Why stop now? We’ve broken down the pros and cons of tinted moisturizers to help you decide if they’re for you!

Pros	Cons
2-in-1 : Undoubtedly, the top benefit of tinted moisturizers is getting a bit of skincare with your makeup. Tinted moisturizers are equal parts foundation and moisturizer, making sure your skin gets all the hydration it needs	Forsaking Your Fave: If you’re a makeup junkie and have already found your holy grail moisturizer, you may be less willing to give it up for this combo. Combining a moisturizer with a tinted moisturizer is not ideal, so if you’d prefer to stick to your classic then this isn’t for you.
Coverage: Tinted moisturizers are perfect for people looking for a tiny amount of coverage. Suppose you just want to even out your complexion while letting your natural skin breathe through, this is the product for you.	Lack of Coverage: While this may be a pro to some, it can also commonly be a con. Some people just need that extra coverage, if you suffer from skin issues such as blemishes or discoloration. Sometimes a tinted moisturizer just doesn’t quite cut it!
Natural Finish: If you want to look like you have absolutely nothing on, then this is the product for you. Tinted moisturizers give a completely natural finish to your skin, the product is practically undetectable!	Oily Mess: Now, if you have combination or oily skin you’re going to want to steer clear of tinted moisturizers. While they’re seriously hydrating which is great, they’re definitely more suited to dryer or normal skin. The moisture they give can end up a greasy mess for oily skin types!
Quick & Easy: There’s a reason this is a working woman’s favorite! Tinted moisturizers are super quick and easy to apply. You don’t even need a tool; you just rub it into your skin with your fingers and are left with a seamless application.
Fresh-Faced: If you’re looking for a weightless base that keeps your face feeling and looking fresh all day, you’re set. They feel super lightweight!
