Did anyone try out the E.L.F. Tinted Moisturizers?
Thoughts?

They've done well for me within the past year. It evened out my skin tone enough for me with a damp sponge so that I could apply a thin layer of powder over it, but it does not conceal any blemishes or dark spots, which is what a moisturizer is supposed to do anyway. I would say the wear on it by itself would be about 2 hours though, because my skin (combo skin btw) got oily so much after just a little it of time being out. All together, it's pretty damn good for being only $3. It's worth a try!

Suggestions for a decent but affordable tinted moisturizer?
Decent price as in..?
Because I've tried the ELF one (it's great)
The MAC one is $30, but i use it sparringly and every week atleast and I still haven't reached halfway (i've had it since November, it's now April). You seriously just need a little dot and you're good to go for atleast 4-5 hours without powder. It's amazing!
The tarte one (smooth operator, i think) is around the same price, and it goes on with medium coverage, but it broke me out ): It also might have been the sanitation on my brush but after two uses, I stopped because I had breakouts on the side of my face. I hear from so many others that it's great though!
The next one I would recommend that's high end is Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer since the color selection is HUGE! But it's almost $40, and good for more dry skin since the texture is a little thicker and can give a glow that may be mistaken for greasiness if you have combo skin.
Hmm.. covergirls smoothers is a good tinted moisturizer-ish as well for less than $10 at the drugstore, it's a step up from ELF's, with medium coverage as well.
Umm.. the nars/smashbox ones are too expensive and not worth my time. So! There you go, I hope that helped.
In all, I recommend MAC's $30 investment to any other tinted moisturizer. It's seriously the BEST i've ever tried and I've tried a few.
