Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation

Average member rating of 7.8
Average member rating
Rated a 7.5
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.

    Big Fan-Great For A Wedding!!!

    by Meaghanb123 (22 reviews)
    This is a great foundation. I prefer it to Bobbi Brown but still like Armani's foundation better for everyday use.

The coverage on this is supposed to be buildable but whether I use a brush or a sponge it seems REALLY heavy. You definitely feel like you are wearing makeup. The bonus of this product though is that because it doesnt have any SPF it doesnt have Zinc in it which means it is a must have for photos such as a wedding. Zinc reflects light (think about those camera flashes going off) so if you are headed out for girl's night (or to a fancy shindig where pictures are going to be taken) pick this up if you want to avoid that sweaty oily look and want to appear more matte and soft focused.

    Good foundation

    by Stefoosh (11 reviews)
    This foundation goes on smooth and it's best to work in small areas as it's highly pigmented, it lasts all day, doesn't break out my skin, and doesn't make it look oily. One of the few I have found that I am happy with. May 7, 2008, 3:00 pm

    One of the best.

    by irisheyes61095 (7 reviews)
    This coverage is one of the best and doesnt feel like you have foundation on at all. It goes on smooth and doesnt leave streaks.

    great coverage

    by jessie1210 (4 reviews)
    When I need a bit more coverage and polish, I choose this over the tinted moisturizer. This has a great consistency and texture but it can be a little heavy. Blends flawlessly, though, so I highly recommend, especially if you need more coverage. December 27, 2007, 7:23 am

August 31, 2008, 4:15 pm This foundation c'est magnifique! It never made my skin look made up or breakout. Combined with small hint of water or moisturizer with a blending sponge, skin is flawless and fabulous. It wears well and maintains the color true all day long. This is important for working professionals with little time for touch up during the day. It is worth the investment! Watch out Angelina! August 31, 2008, 4:15 pm

    Looks bare

    by Lourdes67 (3 reviews)
    I am 4o and do not like to look like I have on foundation. This works great no oily feel, goes on smooth. I found a color that looks like my own skintone. I love the fact that there is no smell too. June 17, 2008, 10:14 am

    Not totally impressed

    by Weickenand (3 reviews)
    I am very light skinned and even though have pretty good skin I like good coverage to cover my freckles and as I have aged some brown spots. I didn't find this to be the best coverage or color for my skin type and coloring. February 2, 2008, 7:00 pm

    My favourite foundation!

    by ElDuderino (3 reviews)
    I have been using this foundation for a few years now- I have normal to dry (and sometimes very dry in winter) skin and this is excellent. It keeps skin dewy and fresh looking and the colour match is perect. I am now alternating between this and the LM mineral powder foundation which I also really like. Def reccommend!

    Love this!

    by jenniferceline (18 reviews)
    This is my current favorite foundation... I keep coming back! I have very pale skin, and the rep at Laura Mercier found a tone that matched me wonderfully so that I don't have that makeup "mask." It feels silky and smooth and stays put. October 8, 2008, 1:38 am
