Product Spotlight: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer

August 5th, 2020 by Karen 13 Comments

first aid beauty ultra repair tinted moisturizer tan
LOVE IT! I wear the shade Tan (I’m an NC42 in MAC and a Honey Bronze in Estée Lauder, for reference).

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer ($28 for a 1-oz. tube) is fantastic tinted moisturizer with a satin finish, especially if you don’t like the sensation of heavy, thick makeup on your face. The fluffy mousse (feels very similar to the NARS Hydrating Glow Tints that came out a few summers back) feels fab and blends away everything with barely a touch — pores, pigmented patches, red areas. If you just want a little something to even out your skin tone, and you want it to be something you can quickly do with your fingers and without a brush, this is it!

From sephora.com:

  • Vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free
  • Colloidal Oatmeal: Helps calm and soothe dry or distressed skin.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Supports skin’s natural moisture content, helps skin appear smoother, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Vitamin E: Provides antioxidants, helps condition and soothe skin and stave off environmental aggressors.
  • Micro-Pearls: Finely milled minerals with light-reflecting properties that amplify skin’s natural radiance for a beautifully luminous effect.
  • Avobenzone 3%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 7.5%: Sunscreen.

Ingredients
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycerin, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Polysorbate 60, Butylene Glycol, Hexyl Laurate, Colloidal Oatmeal, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract, Carbomer, Tribehenin, Limonene, Tetrasodium EDTA, Aminomethyl Propanol, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Allantoin, Sodium Ascorbate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract. May Contain (+/-): Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492, Ci 77499, Ci 77491), Mica.

Now, the shade selection is somewhat limited by today’s standards… There are only 10 shades available, but at least there’s a nice variety of undertones represented, including pink, neutral and olive, so it’s a decent selection overall.

It’s made for normal, dry and combination skin types, but it’s supposed to be particularly good for people with sensitive skin. I’m combo oily and dry, with a tendency to break out when “Aunt Flo” visits, and my skin has been great with it so far. I just use it on its own — no primer underneath — and I skip the setting powder.

If you ever find that you need extra coverage with it, just grab a good liquid concealer and mix it in.

I like to apply a thin layer of Tan (First Aid Beauty’s equivalent of a MAC NC42) all over my face, let it dry for a minute or two, and then I’ll place another dollop of Tan on the back of my hand, which I’ll then mix with a little bit of a fuller-coverage liquid concealer, like Kevyn Aucoin Supernatural (works great for this!).

Then I’ll gently buff the tinted moisturizer-concealer mix with a tapered eye brush on specific spots on my cheeks and around my nose and mouth. Together that will stay put and work for the day.

If you’ve tried the tinted moisturizers by Laura Mercier or It Cosmetics and liked everything about them except the coverage (because you wanted more), I think you’ll love it…assuming you can find a shade that works for you!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    What a beautiful finish! It sounds great, especially with the pore blurring and built in sunscreen. 🙂 These days I’m all about the un-tinted sunscreen so the inside of my mask doesn’t get a better tan than me. But if our faces are ever free again, I’ll have to give this moisturizer a shot!

      “If our faces are ever free again…” SIGH! I hope that day comes soon. I’m starting to feel worn down by the pandemic and am ready to crawl into a cave and not come out until next spring, LOL!

        I hear you. I literally looked in the mirror yesterday and thought “this is why I never used to leave the house without blush”. Tragic pallor – especially for summer. I can’t imagine how grim it will be in the winter! 🙁

          It’s going to be rough. I’m starting to mentally prepare myself now! You’ll know it’s time to send help if all I’m doing is Netflixing and napping. LOL

    Girl, you know my deep and abiding love for all things FAB and the tinted moisturizer is the stuff! Also, this is a very nice look on you- love the purple/red combo.

      It’s so good! I like that I don’t really have to do anything to it other than just slap it on. LOL!

    I really miss the NARS hydrating glow tints. I wish that it hadn’t been a limited edition product. I was super excited to give this a try but chemical sunscreen rules it out for me. Sigh.

      I remember that product. I really liked the style of that Charlotte Gainsbourg collection. Very chic!

    I wish my skin liked First Aid Beauty products. I have the type of skin they’re made for but I think I’m allergic to one of their plant extracts (feverfew – related to chamomile to which I am allergic). You look great here though!

    That sounds perfect for me, I can’t stand heavy bases in summer.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
