Kelsea Ballerini Just Made Me a Body-Makeup Convert

I don’t think I’m flying solo when I say body makeup sort of feels like a step too far. Self-tanner, sure, but the whole-body makeup move seems overly complicated—another thing to apply, another thing to transfer onto my clothing and another thing to most likely regret.

Then Kelsea Ballerini walked the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards red carpet Sunday night looking like she’d gone through a full-body airbrush, and I needed answers immediately.

The secret: Celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan reached for the TINGE Tint ($49) in the shade Tan Neutral to even and enhance Ballerini’s skin with a seamless, natural-looking glow. The formula was applied using the brand’s new Big Brush ($44), designed for smooth, all-over coverage, and, crucially, it stayed put throughout the entire night.

The transfer-resistant formula is what makes this a true red-carpet weapon. While most body makeup breaks down under heat, movement and the pressure of a packed award show, the TINGE tint held its finish, delivering medium, buildable coverage with a semi-matte, second-skin feel that reads as your skin, only better.

Beyond the glow factor, the formula features nourishing jojoba oil and macadamia seed oil, making it as ingredient-forward as your favorite face product. It eases the appearance of bumps, bruises and blemishes, the body concerns that face-only routines have ignored for years. TINGE was built to change that, operating on a simple philosophy: Why should well-rounded routines and thoughtful ingredients be confined to the neck up?

The TINGE Tint is water- and transfer-resistant, cruelty-free, vegan and fragrance-free. Consider me on the road to conversion.
