    Too expensive!
  • Isabel

    I don't typically buy these because of the price. I go for less expensive ones that still do the trick like E.L.F. and Covergirl. =]

    Aveeno tinted moisturizer works very well on my skin and would be a fraction of the cost of those listed in the article.
  • Sunset

    2013-11-19T22:31:04.000Z

    Great list! However, if anyone would prefer some cheaper products, Nivea has a great tinted moisturiser, and Garnier's bb cream is a really good one too.

    Bb cream and cc cream works as well basically I think are the same thing and cheaper ones that work great are l'oreal and garnier

    @Lisa what is a tinted moisturiser really and is it good for oily acne prone skin?
  • Teri

    2013-11-19T17:19:27.000Z

    @Lisa do you personally try all these products?
  • Pampered

    2013-11-19T20:13:06.000Z

    Kanchan--I don't know about the ones Lisa reviewed working for oily, acne prone skin, but if you create your own, using your favorite moisturizer for oily skin, and a high quality mineral makeup, it should work for you as well.
