Details & care

What it is: A featherweight, medium-coverage satin-finish foundation and deeply hydrating skin elixir in one.

What it does: With 10-second application, imperceptible all-day wear and true nourishment, this tinted oil brings a new definition of the flawless face. As easily applied as a daily moisturizer, the breathable, silky, clean formula instantly evens tone, minimizes pores and erases imperfections while healing the skin underneath. Cushioning avocado oil provides deep hydration; red raspberry seed oil provides reparative and toning benefits; green tea seed oil fights pollution and free radicals; and meadowfoam seed oil locks in moisture and plumps skin. Jojoba seed oil soothes and balances while rosehip seed oil brightens and clarifies.

Research results:
In a consumer study featuring 20 subjects after 28 days of use:
- 100% agreed it blurred imperfections and helped even skin tone
- 100% agreed it helped skin look brighter with a healthy glow
- 90% agreed it improved the quality of bare skin

How to use: Shake well to emulsify. Using your fingertips, apply just as you would a serum or moisturizer. For medium coverage use 2–4 drops. For fuller coverage use 4–6 drops. For lighter coverage use 1–2 drops and apply directly to skin where desired. Follow with a cream or powder blush for maximum glow. It can be used over mineral sunscreen but please note it does not layer well with silicone-based products. Apply it to clean, exfoliated skin for best results.

Big Fan - New Go To Product

I am absolutely in love with this tinted face oil. I have been using for about a week. It feels so light, you really don’t even feel it on your skin. a little bit goes a long way as well. I was hesitant about the color but did a lot of research and looked thoroughly at the shades and what works best with my skin tone. I can’t say enough about this product. I now only wear this with mascara on a day to day basis and love it! I believe I got shade 6.

Not for my skin

I really wanted this to work. But no matter what I tried, I could not get this to spread evenly over my face. I used a primer, moisturizer, mixed it with moisturizer, makeup brush, and even applied over my face after cleansing and no moisturizer. The color was right. I like that there isn't any fragrance. I am in my 60's with combination skin. This did not leave a nice finish on my face.

Finally! Comfortable wear. Gorgeous & Natural.

I have great skin on the sensitive side that just needs a little coverage for redness. I also know how to use powder to set my foundation and knock down any unwanted shine. Actually, if I just let this set on it's own I find I only have to powder my nose and chin. This product has been the answer to the loss of a reformulated Guerlain foundation I used for years, but I got so much more from Kosas tinted face oil. Thank you Kosas for making this product. It is the answer to a huge hole for foundations on the market today. For those of us who just want a little coverage and polish, with real moisture, and still appreciate the look of skin and our actual skin coming though, it is the ticket. It's also one of the first foundations I've used in a long time that doesn't start feeling uncomfortable a few hours in because of pulling moisture from my skin. I never get that tight, pulling feeling while wearing this. I also love that I have the control to choose the SPF I want to use. I am so tired of foundations with SPF. Most of them burn if I rub my eyes, and some sting or cause sensitivities. I am over the moon I can use my own SPF under this without unwanted side effects. A little goes a very long way. I did make a mistake and squeezed too much into my hand once and I was not happy with the coverage. It was too much and I lost my skin underneath. With that said, you can control the amount of coverage. I wouldn't say this goes to the level of morgue like 90% of the foundations on the market today. But don't worry! If that's your jam then head to Ulta. They have all the morgue coverage foundations there! And there's one on every corner of small town USA. For those of us who have taken care of our skin, Kosas is the reward. It wears beautifully and hasn't separated in the Southern humidity. I apply mine with clean fingertips and then blend with an Artis # 7.

Not worth the hype

I’ve given this product multiple chances and it just doesn’t work. I really wanted to work because of all the skincare benefits, but it just does not work. I’ve tried exfoliating and moisturizing, and made sure to wait for all my skin care to dry, and didn’t use any products with silicone. Still no luck. You can see every pore, dry patch, and blemish. I’m so mad I threw away the box or else I would return this in a heartbeat. Not worth it at all.

Instant break outs

I don't get this product, it wears off half way thru the day and feels greasy. Broke me out near my chin. Wanted to love it but glad I can return it.

Weightless and breathable

I used to use Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer religiously before it was discontinued (which I absolutely loved). This has a similar weightless and breathable feel however slightly more sheer. Extremely natural so perfect for family gatherings, summertime, etc. I would recommend to use a light powder (CT or Hourglass finishing powder) if you want longer wear but it’s not necessary just depends on your complexion as well as planned activities. I adore this product. I will purchase again.

Beautifully Flawless!

I am so happy that Nordstrom is now carrying the Kosas Tinted Face Oil. I love with this flawless foundation, it has almost a watery consistency , it's not oily at all and it absorbs easily into your skin. I use a moist Beauty Blender to lightly even out the application for light to medium coverage. " The Beauty Professor" beauty blog has an excellent review with swatches.

Lightweight but didn't settle well

I wanted to like this, as I love face oils, love lightweight tinted moisturizers. However, this just sat on my pores and didn't blend at all. I tried using on top of moisturizer (after several minutes to let that sink in) and it wasn't great. I tried using it on a bare face, and it wasn't good either. I don't know how else to describe that it "sat" on my face, didn't blend well, wasn't smooth. I have only heard great things and was excited to try, only to be very disappointed. I am in my 50s with dry skin, maybe this will work for younger skin. I take care of my skin and try many things to get a smooth look. This wasn't it. Sadly, it was returned.

I almost cried

I haven't been able to wear foundation for years. My skin is so dry that everything I put on it just irritated it. From the second it hits it feels heavy and uncomfortable like it was drying my face even more, and of course it was noticeable that I was wearing it after only a few minutes so no natural look. I've tried so many brands but none were daily use because of the problems, just special occasion use. This changes everything for me! it's comfortable, no heavy feeling and since it's an oil based foundation it isn't drying on my face. It blends right in so this is it - that natural look! I'm so excited by this, that I can wear a foundation again. There's no caking in the little lines we all have around our eyes. I don't feel like I'm wearing anything at all!

Like BB cream, but better

If you're into lightweight foundations/tinted moisturizers, this one is for you. Really easy to apply, breathable, and just melts into the skin. I like that my moles and slight imperfections still shine through while giving me that highly desired blur effect. The color swatches on the Nordstrom and the one's Kosas has on all their social media do suck, so this guy will be going back to the store for being a bit too light. That being said, though it was a shade too light it wasn't glaringly obvious. However, it does make me worry about a product line that claims inclusivity when my light-skinned self for a South/South-East Asian woman is on the higher spectrum of medium tones (bought a 06, too light - going for a 07).

light coverage

I was happily surprised how nice this looked and felt. A sheer coverage for dry skin. Goes on smoothly.

Does what it should

I was looking to up my game on my foundation. Since not wearing make-up during COVID, I needed something new, different. My skin has become dryer and my Chanel foundation is not doing the trick anymore. I saw this product advertised in a fashion magazine and decided to try it. Picking the shade was the hardest part, but looking closely at the arm samples made it somewhat easier. Turns out I picked the correct shade for me.. so glad. And I like the product; it is creamy...little watery maybe but it blends well and does not make me look matt or fake. I light a light foundation that just blends into the natural color of your skin and covers the irregularities, and this product does that. Not sure why it is called a "tinted face oil" because I did not find it oily, only smooth.
