(L-R: light, light-to-medium, tan, deep)

I'm always looking for a GREAT tinted moisturizer, and haven't found one I like as much as Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Skin Tint SPF 20.

There didn't seem to be much shade difference between light and light-to-medium, and NO difference between tan and deep. I wear Cream 1 in the Dior tinted moisturizer and am NW25 at MAC and I thought even the light was a little too dark and yellow for my tone. There is one shade lighter, called extra light, which would probably work better for me. I don't see the really pale beauties being able to rock this product.

Philosophy Hope In A Tinted Moisturizer is available in 8 shades retailing at $38 a tube. You can pick this up at Sephora or philosophy.com.
