    Best foundation for uneven skin

    by NoraCharles (88 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    The best cream foundation I have ever used! I have fair, sensitive skin with a slight case of rosacea, this foundation covers any redness without causing any irritation or clogging pores. The medium coverage still looks natural (not mask-y) and it gives a glow without being too glittery or greasy looking. the key is to use... the smallest amount needed and blend well with a sponge (damp for sheerer coverage). Cream Ivory is a great match for my fair, peachy undertoned skin. April 5, 2008, 6:31 am

    An all-around great foundation

    by Moesha (5 reviews)
    I have been stuck on Prescriptives foundations for a long time and recently felt like searching for a new foundation that might be a better match for my skin. I tend to have parched skin that decides to flair up red sometimes and often my pores become noticeable. This foundation really blew me away and caught me by surpri...se. I truly love it. It looks so nice and even on my skin and it feels clean and balanced. I'm planning on buying the tinted moisturizer that comes in a similar bottle, but white. That way I can save this one for days when I feel I need more coverage! March 17, 2008, 9:44 am

    Great for Lots of Coverage

    by edhaver (3 reviews)
    I used this product while going through the Obaji Nu-Derm Retin-A treatment which meant my poor skin was raw and I was in desparate need of some coverage. I remember hearing years ago that those ladies having just finished plastic surgery loved LM due to the flawless finish all of the products provide. Off to the makeup c...ounter I went and I walked away thrilled. The coverage was just what I needed - heavy without leaving my skin feeling weighted down. Now that I'm off the program, I'm not using this product as I've switched to another LM foundation that's lighter. But I highly recommend this product for those requiring a little extra coverage.

    Love it but not for me...

    by trinatak53 (3 reviews)
    I really like this product because of the light feeling( it feels like a slightly heavier moisturizer) , but b/c of this the coverage can also look light. I love the fact that it has spf because I am so lazy to apply it. While I love this product I don't think that it is right for me because I'm asian and the color seems ...a little too pink for my skintone, due to the fact that the product doesn't come in a wide range of colors.

    Skin From Troubled to Red Carpet Ready

    by Jenny51 (3 reviews)
    I've "kissed a lot of toads," so to speak, in looking for the perfect foundation for my oil and acne-prone skin. (I thought these two problems were supposed to go away when you "matured.") This silk creme foundation has the right name in that it makes my skin feel like silk. It looks a bit mask-like w...he you first put it on, but it quickly develops into a beautifully covered face. It looks as if I never have skin problems. It's my little white lie! Jenny51 December 5, 2007, 2:53 pm

    a miracle!!

    by meg61299 (86 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    Wow! I have finally found my foundation soul mate! The coverage is fantastic--covers fully, but without that fake, make-upy feel and look. Now, here's the kicker: it doesn't make me breakout! I have oily, breakout-prone skin, and this has NOT caused any problems! Thank you Laura Mercier!!! April 3, 2008, 9:56 pm

    More like "concealer lite"

    by JKatherine (8 reviews)
    This stuff was a lifesaver after I underwent some lasering for rosacea around my nose. I like it better than most concealers because it covers well but is extremely light. It would seem too mask-like to put a layer on all over the face but it's great for hiding spots. Laura Mercier's shades are plentiful and tend to be yell...ow-toned (like Bobbi Brown's), rather than pinkish. November 27, 2007, 1:16 pm

    warning: prone to seperating

    by mijjie (8 reviews)
    I like the pigment and the coverage of this foundation (good coverage without being heavy), but it's kind of a pain to apply. It doesn't work with your fingers - I'm too lazy/hurried to use a sponge every day. But you can cut it with lotion and then apply with your hands. That makes it lighter, of course, so it's a versatil...e product. My biggest problem with it is that it seems really prone to seperating, even if it's just sitting in my apartment, not in heat or sun or anything. I have to shake it up a lot. And it doesn't come in a lot of colors. October 31, 2007, 8:05 am

    Finally! A foundation that matches, stays, and works!

    by littlegminor (4 reviews)
    I am a huge, huge fan of this foundation. The "Rose Ivory" matches my winter tone exactly, and with some judicious stippling, even this full-coverage cream looks sheer and natural on me. I have normal/dry skin and this foundation stays on me all day without making me feel greasy and unpleasant by evening. The ...price ($42 USD) is a little offputting - but it does last a long time since I don't need much to even out my tone and cover my discolorations. February 23, 2008, 12:07 pm

    Great Color and Coverage

    by becker206 (6 reviews)
    This is my current favorite foundation. It only takes a very small amount to cover the entire face with med/full coverage finish. Its smooths over the skin so nicely and I was able to find an exact color match. November 30, 2007, 11:57 am
