Why I Was Wrong About Tinted Serum (and Why You’ll Love It Too!)
I have a confession to make: I didn’t think I’d fall for a tinted serum. Skeptic? Me? Guilty as charged. When I first heard about the Olive Rose Skin Tint, I figured it was just another hyped-up product promising miracles. I was fully prepared to roll my eyes and move on.
But then, I tried it. And oh, how my skeptical self has been humbled.
If you’ve been on the fence about tinted serums, let me break down why I was wrong about tinted serums (and why you’ll love it too).
Why I’m Obsessed With the Olive Rose Skin Tint
This isn’t your average makeup—it’s basically skincare disguised as a glow-inducing superhero. Here’s why I can’t get enough:
Lightweight as a Feather
You know that heavy, cakey makeup feel? Gone. The Olive Rose Skin Tint feels just like your favorite moisturizer, so lightweight that you’ll forget you’re wearing anything.Glow Goals (Without the Grease)
This skin tint gives you an all-day, lit-from-within glow. It’s like my face is saying, “Yes, I drink a gallon of water every day” (even when I don’t).Stays Put All Day Long
Let’s talk staying power. This baby doesn’t budge. Long workday? Sweaty errands? No problem.Skincare Benefits on Lock
Think of it as skincare that happens to make you look flawless. I’m talking EU standards (fewer questionable ingredients!) and no water-based dryness.Your Skin, But Better
My favorite part? It doesn’t look like makeup. It’s sheer, natural, and enhances what’s already there. It’s the glow-up we all deserve.
Let’s break down these 3 STAR INGREDIENTS and what they can do for your skin:
HYALURONIC ACID

HYDROXYTYROSOL
+ Protects skin from free radicals and environmental damage due to powerful antioxidant properties

How I Use It: My Foolproof Routine
If you’re curious about how to use it, here’s my simple (but game-changing) routine:
- Shade 4 as my base. It’s the perfect match for that even, natural-looking skin.
- Shade 12 for bronzer/contour. The subtle warmth gives me cheekbones for days.
- Seint Correctors under my eyes to fake 8 hours of sleep.
- Seint Lip/Cheek in Plum + Black Cherry for that fresh, youthful flush.
- I use the Detail and Buff brushes from Seint for blending magic.
Why You Should Try It
I get it—tinted serum can feel like a middle ground you’re not sure you need. But this one? It’s a multitasking, skin-loving game changer that makes me excited to do my makeup every day.
If you’ve been looking for something that’s skincare-first but gives you a healthy glow without feeling makeupy, the Olive Rose Skin Tint might just convert you too.
So go ahead, let your skeptical self take the plunge. You might just fall in love—like I did.
