I like Mary Kay and Paula's Choice. Although neither may have colors light enough for you but TM's colors seem to be more forgiving then foundations.

Laura Mercier seems to be popular and they have a range of colors. I have not tried it though.

If you want something inexpensive I've read lots of great reviews at makeup alley about Cover Girl CG Smoothers.

I use MMU Aromaliegh mostly and if I want just a tinted moisturizer I just add a small amount of my mineral makeup to my regular moisturizer, you can really control the amount of coverage from extremely sheer to as heavy as regular foundation. There is a thread from
a little while ago with different recommendations for tinted moisturizers. It may be of some help.

Tarte Smooth Operator has very pale shades. Comes with SPF20 (physical blockers - zinc oxide/titanium dioxide).

I am on my third tube of MDSkincare tinted moisturizer, sold on EDS. It has a very fine texture, but covers any flaws and at 15 SPF is enough for me for day to day running around and being in the sun for a short time. It leaves your skin very smooth and dewy.

I use Laura Mercier. It gives me quite good coverage... my complexion is fair.

I also use this asian BB cream I got from Amazon (occasionally).

I have a pale complexion and that's why I tried a number of tinted sunscreens, foundations and moisturizers.

The latest thing I tried and really, really liked is Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer with 20SPF sunblock.

I used one tube of the lightest tone (Ivory 1) and it still gave me some color (enough for winter). I re-ordered this one and also decided to try a tone darker (Ivory 2) thinking about warmer weather for which I can't wait...

I've also tried Cover Girl Smoothers - great product for the price.

I've used Paula's Choice, Alison Raffaele's 'Skin' and a MAC product but I don't remember which. I recently bought Olay Definity colour recapture with SPF 15. While I don't usually like Olay products, I've been liking this light tinted moisturizer and it evens out my skin tone without being heavy.

I was given a Sephora gift card so will have to also check out some of the tinted moisturizer lines that they carry.

Avene Couvrance Fluide Foundation Corrector is more like a tinted moisturizer, and is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, oil-free, SPF 15. Although it's called a "foundation", it's far more like a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. I've tried the Porcelaine shade, and would recommend it for fair skin. It looks a bit peachy when it comes out of the tube, but doesn't look at all orangey when it's on (just nice and non-ashy).

I've been using Neocutis Day Cream with SPF 30...it has a very slight tint to it but what it really does is gives me a great smooth dewey look to my face that lasts all day...it's expensive, so Ebay is your best bet for a reasonable price...

And may I add it works fabulous under makeup too...which is a big bonus for me!

i am little confused about it, does it act like sunscreen+foundation?

usually i find tint moistures are all like spf15 only, and based on how much u can put on your face each time, i feel it cannot even achieve the spf15 level.

I use it under my regular foundation and it acts much like primer although it's a daily moisturizer and not a primer...for some reason it just works really well under my foundation giving me a really fresh dewey look without the hassle of balling up when putting foundation over top of it. It is a colored moisturizer being the color that it is, but I don't think it is technically considered a tinted moisturizer...kind of hard to explain! I just know the stuff rocks for me!

I love Perricone's Active Tinted, although I am not sure how light the lightest shade is. I use 02 which is medium and it is perfect. It makes my skin look so healthy....many say this product is what produces that "Perricone glow".

I use NCN's tinted sheer mineral and I LOVE IT!

It's SPF15 and light enough for everyday use.

Nanci is also very helpful with your color choice. I love it!!
