heavy coverage
kenya (498 reviews)

this foundation is amazing. it is great for anyone with rosacea or problem skin. my friend with redness had porcelain skin after she used this with no traces of redness. i have acne and this just covers it up amazingly well. it is heavy coverage but it feels like silk. so easy to blend. i love this! — 1 year, 5 months ago

For freckles
crowak (1 reviews)

I love this foundation because it evens out my skin tone without making my freckles look too covered. It lasts all day. When I am feeling lazy I just use it as concealer. — 3 months ago

I have fair to medium sensitive skin with broken capillaries on my cheeks from sun damage. I love this foundation for its ease of application and coverage. The Beige Ivory and Bamboo Beige do a great job of masking redness and I have never had a break out from using this product. Dusting my t zone with powder keeps the foundation even throughout a long day at work. I use Philosophy's one minute peel on weekends to help with any buildup in pores. — 5 months ago

creamy, good coverage, yellow
mamafazz (8 reviews)

This foundation is expensive, but has good coverage, lasts all day even without powder, does settle some in the pores by the end of the day. I got the color cashew beige and it is very yellow, I ordered it online and have not been color matched. I think Maybelline superstay has just as good coverage, and in my opinion looks better longer. — 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Too Thick
emmak (5 reviews)

I applied it VERY thin and it still appears very thick, cakey and I have found that most laura Mercier foundations have a yellow/orange tone to them.... — 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Love the dewy finish!
bwlblog (19 reviews)

This foundation is oil free and meant to be worn on all different skin types, It has medium-full coverage and a dewey/glowy finish. I personally have combination/dry skin and although I have heard people with oily skin say they like this foundation, I'm not so sure everyone with oily skin will. I am a HUGE fan of the dewy finish, I think there is nothing more beautiful then having dewy skin, that is a big reason why I love this foundation so much. I don't need too much concealer when I wear this foundation. It is medium but build able to full coverage but it does not feel heavy or goopy at all. My favorite way to apply it is with my fingers, it melts it beautifully into the skin. I also like to apply it with a stippling brush on days where I don't want to get my hands dirty. I own this in three different shades, rose ivory, beige ivory, and cashew beige. When looking for a foundation, I mostly look for one that has very good coverage and a nice dewy or natural looking finish, this foundation definitely does those two things and that is why it's my favorite! But I do caution all to use only a very tiny amount blending, a little goes a very long way, and it takes far less product then most other full coverage makeup. I am willing to spend the money because I have sensitive skin if it is a good product....and this one is the best! — 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Great coverage and silky feel
bloggingbeauty (137 reviews)

I recently bought this after hearing lots of raves about it, and I love it! My shade (rose ivory) matches my skin perfectly and gives me great coverage! It feels super smooth on my skin and looks natural while still covering dark circles, acne, scars, and freckles! — 9 months, 1 week ago

feels light, but coverage is great
chriscm (1 reviews)

WOW! I've been hunting for a new foundation because I wanted something that felt lighter on my skin than MAC Studio Fix, but offered the same coverage. I FOUND IT!!! The first time I applied this, the texture of it felt so smooth and velvety. I love the fact that you need very, very little of this foundation, but yet it still offers great coverage! Ive applied it with a stippling brush and with my fingers, and I found that both methods of application offer a smooth finish. The only thing that I don't like about this is that it rubs off easily onto clothes. — 9 months, 3 weeks ago
