No7's latest launch, the Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint, promises a lightweight, natural finish that evens out skin tone without heavy coverage. Available exclusively at Boots, this product has quickly garnered attention for its skin-like texture and buildable formula.
What is the No7 Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint?
The Silk Glaze Skin Tint is a water-based, sheer foundation that aims to provide a "your skin but better" effect. It contains hyaluronic acid for hydration and light-reflecting pigments to give a subtle glow. The formula is designed to be long-wearing and transfer-resistant, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Application and Coverage
The skin tint comes in a standard pump bottle with 30ml of product. According to the brand, a single pump is enough for the whole face, but the product can be built up for more coverage. The texture is runny and blends easily with fingers, a brush, or a sponge. It dries down to a natural, slightly dewy finish that doesn't feel sticky or heavy.
Coverage is light to medium, effectively blurring pores and evening out redness without masking freckles or skin texture. For those with blemishes or dark spots, a concealer may be needed for full coverage. The shade range includes 12 shades, from fair to deep, with neutral, warm, and cool undertones.
Reviewer Experience
Beauty editor Holly Martin tested the skin tint for a week. She reported that the product lasted about 8 hours without significant fading or caking. She noted that it didn't settle into fine lines or pores, and it felt lightweight throughout the day. "I was impressed by how natural it looked," Martin said. "It gave my skin a healthy glow without looking shiny or greasy."
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight, natural finish, hydrating, good shade range, buildable coverage, transfer-resistant.
- Cons: Limited shade range for very deep skin tones, may not suit those wanting full coverage, price point at £16.95 is higher than some drugstore alternatives.
Where to Buy
The No7 Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint is available at Boots stores and online for £16.95. Boots often runs offers on No7 products, such as 3 for 2 or points multipliers, which can make it more affordable.
Final Verdict
For those seeking a natural, everyday base that feels like nothing on the skin, the No7 Pro Artist Silk Glaze Skin Tint is a solid choice. It delivers on its promises of a lightweight, skin-like finish with decent longevity. However, if you prefer full coverage or have very oily skin, you might want to set it with powder or look for a different product.
