Good enouth
ShanthiDevi (90 reviews)

LM is noted for her foundations and colors. It does come in good colors and blends very well. Although it is moisturizing you will have to put on a moisturizer under it but then again you better put on a sunscreen as this is lacking in it. The other thing is that it is in a pump which is hard to control the amount that comes out. I do like it but not sure if I would buy it again. — 2 months ago

I have read so many good things about this foundation but I couldn't find the right shade for my light to medium skin. — 1 year, 1 month ago

Great shine coverage and super light
Duskkgodinez (14 reviews)

I have yet to find a better foundation! I takes away all the shine and has a sort of silky texture, no caking whatsoever. It is really blend able, even if it is off a shade, so you can feel safe to order it online without tring it out. I would stay away from going a shade too dark though. The con- does not function well with sweat, it WILL bead a little bit, so make sure you are cool when applying it initially or it won't set properly. — 2 weeks, 6 days ago

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. — 9 months, 4 weeks ago

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. — 11 months ago

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. — 1 year ago

Absolutely Amazing
Tillie7 (51 reviews)

Someone just recently told me to try this foundation, not liking what I was using previously at all headed right over to Sephora to buy this foundation. I tried the colors on in the store to see what fit and from that instant in the store I fell in love! Awesome coverage that you can manage yourself layer by layer to your preferance, perfect moisture all day long and hasn't clogged my pores yet (knock on wood) =) The money was well worth it in my opinion — 3 years ago

BEAUTIFUL COVERAGE
ashleeiris (6 reviews)

all the reviews that say its hard to blend, looks like your wearing makeup and all that... are wrong! this is the single most perfect makeup out there. no problems with the cap and i love the pump despenser! highly pigmented but if you blend with moisturizer and use the primer you will be perfect! i love this makeup and the price is nice too! compared to the la mer i was using before! love love love! — 3 years, 1 month ago

Love this!
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. — 3 years, 7 months ago
