Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation
Editor's Rating & Review
While this foundation isn't hydrating enough to skip daily moisturizer, you'll be impressed by its blendability and the fact that you can easily avoid the dreaded "old lady foundation line." It does provide sheer to medium coverage for redness, but without SPF it doesn't protect from future sun damage. Although the cap won't stay put, the pump allows for great dispensing control. Shades span a variety of skin tones, leaving a slightly dewy (not cakey) natural finish.

Not good for warm undertones
kajalcouture (33 reviews)
I have friends who use this and I have used this to do other people’s makeup and it looked amazing on them! It looked great in person and in photographs. However, no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t get this to work for me, and I think it is a skin tone issue. Everyone I knew that used this had cool (pink) undertones. I don’t. Both this formula and the oil-free formula come in shades that are tailored to those with cool undertones. I have warm (golden/yellow) undertones and although some of the shades of this foundation say they work for yellow or neutral undertones, they just don’t. A couple of the foundation shades matched me in the department store, where there are harsh lights that are no where close to natural light. In natural daylight the same foundation shades were just slightly off, but even a foundation that is slightly off will look unnatural. I tried using different powders with this but still couldn’t achieve a shade that matched my skin tone. If you have cool undertones then you might like this, but if you have warm undertones then I definitely recommend getting a sample before committing just to make sure you get a good match. — 6 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Picture Perfect Foundation
Kamala_Kirk (43 reviews)
I have been using this foundation for years and the coverage is excellent; it can be layered, blended easily with a finger, sponge or foundation brush, and if you want lighter coverage, my makeup artist friend recommended diluting some foundation on the back of your hand with water, giving it a thinner consistency. I used to wear this product everyday, but now I like to switch off with the foundation powder because sometimes my skin gets tired if I wear the same thing everyday. This is a great foundation for nights out, parties, and any event where there will be photos taken, because it really helps you achieve that flawless look. If you are looking for a good makeup to wear during photo shoots, graduation or wedding photos and such, I strongly recommend this, as it looks amazing. — 7 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love her entire line!
kathib (11 reviews)
This is a phenomenal foundation- kissed alot of frogs before I found my prince with this one. Goes on smooth & blends right into my skin without causing any irritation. I tend to break out pretty easily but I buy this in the oil free version & it works like a charm. — 9 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
