"This is my top pick for a skin tint in this sale. [...] It's a bit glowy but not over the top, [...] wears beautifully, and has no added fragrance. [...] Really great formula. The only thing is if you're looking for more coverage or a matte finish, I'd recommend you avoid it, but it's very flexible from super light to light coverage."

"I have been using this non-stop since the spring. I love the formulation. It's lightweight. It provides a light to medium coverage. You can build this up to a full coverage if you need to. And I love the ingredients in here. There's a lot of skin care ingredients like a triple hyaluronic complex which helps to deeply hydrate the skin. There's squalane in here, niacinamide and of course the list goes on."

"The next fave is the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint. Now this is amazing, this is a product that does not cause breakouts. This is Milk Makeup's newest launch. [...] I'm in shade four which is pretty good for this time of year, but I also have shade five which would be better for the summer, the spring summer months when I start to develop a little bit more of a tan. Now this has a tronic acid complex which means that this contains three types of hyaluronic acids to plump and hydrate the skin."

"I have it on my skin today and I can't get enough. I love how moisturizing this is. It gives that nice glow and dewiness to the skin. It just looks like your skin but better but healthier. And it's not greasy. It's not super shiny on the skin. [...] It just gives this nice healthy glow to your skin and I just think it is beautiful. It is that true light to medium coverage. You could possibly build this up to a full. I'm actually quite content with the medium coverage that this gives."

"You can tweak this formula to make it work for you whether you have normal or more dry skin. It's a skin tint that needs a bit of skin care, and it's a nice bonus to have a few skincare ingredients in your tinted moisturizer or your skin tint. [...] This also has a little bit more coverage than I would prefer in a skin tint. I definitely like the beauty blender application technique because it's just a little bit more of skin peeking through no makeup makeup look."

"I would love to wear this somewhere where I really don't need to be wearing a skin tint, on a plane. [...] I really do think that this is their best. I think they've incorporated what people love about the Hydro Grip textures, you know, that Hydro Grip primer, and really incorporated that into a really beautiful skin product. This is beautiful. [...] I will say, when I first got it, I opened one [...] and swatched it [...] up my face because I was so excited to try this."

"I trust Milk with skin. Right. Their skin prepping products. Love Hydro Grip. Their Pores Eclipse range I think is really, really beautiful as well. I'm imagining in my mind, Hydro Grip Primer texture. A gel with tint, like the name would suggest. Right? A gel tint. I feel like a tint that is a gel formula is going to be really great for those people who are a little bit more oily, who maybe want a tint but don't want skincare heavy ingredients or a skincare moisturizing like texture."

"So it's the type of product that you definitely want to start with less of and then build from there if needed. I prefer applying this with a sponge because of the texture. Not only is it thick, but it is pretty stiff, so it's just not the most seamless to blend with fingers. I get a very nice blend with a sponge, no issues there. And after applying, I have to say that I was actually shocked by how much I liked the look of this skin tint. I think that it looks really pretty. It has this nice"
