Brighten and even out your skin tone with new Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. Infused with microlight minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, this hint of sheer, natural color instantly transforms and perfects skin's appearance with a fresh, luminous glow.
Gives great coverage although heavier than other tinted moisturisers so we'd advise to test it first to see if suitable. Does contain tiny shimmering particles which are barely noticeable but worth mentioning. Smell has caused some heated debate although we love it. And it does keep shine at bay.

Olay Definity Colour Enhancer
Olay Definity Colour Enhancer is a space-age looking, unique formula that offers 3 benefits in 1 product: a hydrating moisturiser with SPF 15, an anti-ageing serum and a sheer foundation. The 3 benefits promise even looking skin instantly, as well as reducing the appearance of brown spots, for a younger look achievable after just 8 weeks of use daily.
Looks great but result has good and bad points. It gives good coverage although it could do with lasting longer. And it does have a peculiar smell when it comes out of the tube. Good pump action which avoids mess. And skin is left looking radiant after continued use. A good product going into spring but something needs done about the smell. And our tester thought it was pricey for Olay.

Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation
From the first use of Total Effects Touch of Foundation, skin will feel hydrated, smoothed and look more even.
Pump dispenser is mess-free and gives just the right amount. The coverage is ok but needs really good blending as it doesn’t absorb into skin easily. It doesn’t leave skin dewy or matt but gives it a lovely glow. It’s a good halfway between foundation and tinted moisturiser.
