Category: Beauty > Tinted moisturizer. Updated 2026-10-16. Based on 240 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Feb 2012 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which tinted moisturizer is good for combination skin?

**Short answer:** IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm has the best record for combination skin, with 10 of 11 shoppers saying it stayed comfortable on their dry areas without getting greasy or sliding off their oily areas, though that group is small. Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer follows at 25 of 33, then Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint at 15 of 21, the best pick sold on Amazon because we could not confirm an Amazon listing for the two ahead of it. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have combination skin.

## Questions

**Which tinted moisturizer works for combination skin?**

IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm has the best record (10 of 11), followed by Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer (25 of 33) and Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint (15 of 21). bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer (7 of 10), Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint (17 of 29) and NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 (18 of 32) come next and sit close together, since the first has the higher share but rests on a smaller group. Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint has the weakest record here at 7 of 15.

**Which of these tinted moisturizers are sold on Amazon?**

Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint is sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and since we could not confirm an Amazon listing for IT Cosmetics Do It All Tinted Moisturizer Balm or Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer, it is the best pick sold on Amazon at 15 of 21. bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer, Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint, NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 and Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Balm Serum Boosted Skin Tint have no buy link here, because too few shoppers reported a good result for us to recommend them.

**How many shoppers are behind each record?**

The second number in each record is the group size. It runs from 10 shoppers for bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer to 33 for Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer. The ranking weighs group size, so a record from a bigger group counts for more than the same share from a smaller one.

**Are these records a lab test of each tint?**

These records are not a lab test. The counts are what shoppers with combination skin said after using each tint, so follow the label directions on whichever one you pick.
