The Science of Skin-Perfecting Hydration
The Super Boost Skin Tint isn’t your average tinted moisturizer—the real magic lies in its unique blend of hydrating and blurring agents. MAKE UP FOR EVER’s research team developed a formula infused with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and plant-derived squalane to deliver lasting moisture. Here’s how it works:
- Multi-molecular hyaluronic acid penetrates different layers of the skin, locking in hydration from within.
- Glycerin attracts water to the skin surface, creating a plump, bounce-back effect that helps blur fine lines.
- Squalane mimics your skin’s natural oils, balancing hydration and reinforcing your barrier to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
On the coverage side, light-diffusing powders and micropearls are suspended in a silky emulsion. These scatter light, minimizing the appearance of pores, redness, and uneven texture. The result? A soft-focus veil that feels like skin—but looks perfected. Unlike heavier foundations, this tint flexes with your expressions, preventing the dreaded “mask” effect even after hours of wear.
Finding Your Ideal Shade Match
With a shade range spanning fair to deep tones, Super Boost Skin Tint makes customization a breeze. Follow these steps to zero in on your perfect match:
- Identify your depth: Choose a shade close to your neck or chest tone to avoid the “floating face” mismatch.
- Test in natural light: Swatch a small dot along your jawline. The shade that disappears seamlessly is your match.
- Consider undertone:
- Cool: Pink or red undertones—look for shades ending in C (e.g., 25C).
- Neutral: Balanced undertones—opt for N (e.g., 30N).
- Warm: Yellow or golden undertones—select W (e.g., 35W).
- Blend two shades: For seasonal shifts, mix your summer and winter shades at a 1:1 ratio to fine-tune depth.
Once you’ve pinpointed your hue, you’re ready to experience that skin-like finish without the guesswork.

Step-by-Step Application for Dewy, Even Coverage
Even a stellar formula can underperform without the right technique. Here’s a step-by-step guide to flawless application:
- Prep and prime
Start with cleansed, moisturized skin. If you have oily zones, apply a lightweight, mattifying primer only where needed (T-zone). For drier areas, skip extra primer to let the tint’s hydration shine through. - Dispense and dot
Pump one pea-sized amount onto the back of your hand. Using your fingers, dot the product on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. - Blend outward
Use a damp beauty sponge or a synthetic stippling brush. Bounce and stipple to press tint into the skin—never drag. Focus on building coverage in areas that need extra attention (reddened cheeks, around the nose). - Layer sparingly
For extra camouflage, let the first layer settle for 15-20 seconds, then add a thin second layer only where necessary. This preserves the light finish while boosting coverage. - Set strategically
If you have oily skin or need extra longevity, apply a sheer dusting of translucent powder under your eyes and on the T-zone. Keep the rest of your face powder-free to maintain that dewy glow.
Follow this method, and you’ll achieve a second-skin finish that blurs imperfections, brightens your complexion, and stays comfortable all day.
Amplifying Longevity: Expert Wear Hacks
Lightweight tints often sacrifice staying power—but with these pro tricks, you’ll keep your glow uninterrupted for 10+ hours:
- Layer a thin concealer under the eyes or on stubborn blemishes before tint application to anchor product.
- Use a fixing spray (light mist) post-makeup to meld layers together; choose a hydrating formula for a natural finish.
- Blot, don’t powder: Blot excess oil mid-day with blotting papers, then re-apply a tiny dot of tint over the blotched area, blending with fingertips.
- Spot-touch with brush: Keep a small synthetic brush and a dab of tint in your bag; spot-apply only on areas that need refresh—this avoids overloading your face.
- Hydrating face mist: A quick spritz revitalizes dewy coverage without disturbing your base.
These hacks transform Super Boost from a daytime tint into a round-the-clock complexion enhancer.
