The skin tint is in a handy little tube. The product itself has no or minimal detectable fragrance and I experimented with this in place of moisturiser, after moisturiser and after sunscreen. Knowing the limitation of a skin tint with my skin, I had realistic expectations. This is a lovely product to wear around the house for the 'no makeup' days although I would apply it after sunscreen.

Rimmel London Kind & Free™ Moisturising Skin Tint is the latest base product innovation that couples a classic, lightweight tinted moisturiser formula with skin care ingredients and a clean, vegan-friendly promise. The folks over at Rimmel have outdone themselves and brought us a skin tint that boasts an INCI List with 77 per cent natural origin ingredients. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). I enjoyed their Wake Me Up Foundation, Match Perfection Foundation and Lasting Finish Foundation, so I was intrigued to see how the new Rimmel Kind & Free Moisturising Skin Tint Foundation would compare to their other complexion products. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. When worn on it's own, it provides subtle coverage and skin perfecting. On my combination skin the longevity of the skin tint wasn't optimal, maybe only lasting a couple of hours and slightly longer if I set with powder. However I did find that it worked well as skin perfecting base for my foundation.

Beauty Crew sent Rimmel London Kind & Free™ Moisturising Skin Tint to a panel of women aged 18 and older with a penchant for all types of base products and an affinity for clean beauty. The lowdown You’ve gotta give Rimmel credit for creating a vegan and ‘clean’ foundation, but for me, it’s not a product I’ll continue using. I’m fine with light coverage bases, but you don’t want them to fade within an hour or two, like the Rimmel Kind & Free Moisturising Skin Tint Foundation does. I knew Rose Ivory was going to be too deep for me from the swatches online, but as it’s a ‘skin tint’ rather than a straight-up foundation, so I thought the shade might be a little more forgiving. Recently, I’ve been favouring lighter coverage foundations, but I’m sadly not a fan of this particular product. I’m rarely disappointed by Rimmel foundations, but this one doesn’t sit nicely on my skin.

How hydrating the formula was: Our reviewers loved the hydrating benefits of the tinted moisturiser formula, with many saying they used the skin tint in lieu of moisturiser some days when they wanted a lighter routine. While we’ll admit we’re partial to a full coverage and full face beat for a night out, when it comes to everyday makeup (or when we’re feeling a bit lazy) there’s nothing we love more than a tinted moisturiser. The skin tint is a beautifully soft and silky texture and feels light on the skin. I applied with fingers and found that it provided a lovely 'my skin but better' finish. Coverage is not high, as you would expect from a skin tint although I did note that it's called a skin tint foundation on the tube which is a bit of a stretch. If you had perfect skin...possibly true. I also don’t like how it sits on my skin, as it ends up looking patchy, and as if I’ve not blended it in properly, regardless of whether I’ve applied it with my fingertips, a BeautyBlender or makeup brush.Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about this natural-finish skin tint.

The Rimmel Kind & Free Moisturising Skin Tint Foundation in Rose Ivory is a lot more warm toned than I’d anticipated, as Rimmel shades with ‘rose’ in the name definitely tend to lean on the cool side.
