Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

Average member rating of 8.0

Rated a 9.0
First and foremost a moisturizer, this lightweight formula hydrates combination skin amazingly well and offers sheer coverage. Seven versatile shades blend well with most skin tones. Applying over primer helps smooth and extend its already long wear. One tube yields a fair amount, though it won't last long with daily use. SPF 20, though a big bonus, could be higher. Those wanting medium- to full-coverage may be disappointed.

March 13, 2008, 5:47 am i love this product.. although i use the oil free version. its not very moisturising i would say, its best to put a moisturising serum or a moisturiser (mattifying if you're oily) beforehand. Plus there is spf 20! It covers flaws well, and has buildable coverage. There is no heavy makeup look to it, it does look natural and dewy. I normally put a powder over as well because i'm quite oily, but don't powder too much (or only in oily areas) if you still want to maintain a dewy glow. amazing product.. absolutely love it even though it does flake if you rub it too much.

At first glance, I was hesitant about using a tinted moisturizer as opposed to a foundation simply because I didn't believe the coverage would be sufficient. (I have used Estee Lauder's Double Wear in the past--so I love a flawless look!) After applying the tinted moisturizer, my skin looked absolutely flawless and radiant--I was glowing :) Another plus, it is very natural, so you don't look like you are wearing any makeup--you simply look like you have beautiful skin. I am absolutely in love w/this product!!! November 29, 2007, 10:43 am

    Hate to wear foundation, love to wear tinted moisturizer!

    I've never had much success with foundations. I could never get the right color, or it always felt heavy on my face, so I gave up on it years ago.

December 6, 2007, 2:44 pm I've never had much success with foundations. I could never get the right color, or it always felt heavy on my face, so I gave up on it years ago. The woman at Sephora helped me find my color (Porcelain) and showed me how to apply it with my fingers, and I liked the result so much that I decided I'd be crazy and fork over the $42. I wear it over my usual moisturizer with SPF, and layering the two products does not seem to cause any problems. It's just enough to make my skin look a bit more even and not so red. I plan to buy it again, but I wish it didn't cost so much. December 6, 2007, 2:44 pm

November 29, 2007, 2:01 pm I've been using this product for years. I'm not a super full coverage girl when it comes to foundation,but I definitely don't want to be naked either. I do need some covering! This product actually offers more coverage than most tinted moisturizers and the finish is glowy and fresh. I honestly get many compliments on my skin whenever I have this on. And I love it because it's incredibly light, doesn't clog the skin and just makes you look good. November 29, 2007, 2:01 pm

November 29, 2007, 10:05 am This has to be one of the best beauty buys out there, heres why..... - sheer coverage seems to melt into a mesh of flawless skin once blended - just the right amount of glow - oilier skins should use oil-free version - makes you look youthful, healthy and fresh of face, leading others to ask: "have you had a facial??" "you're glowing - what's your secret?" sounds corny right? But it's true, I always have people make some sort of comment on my face when I'm wearing this, it's expensive for the volume of product BUT, it is Laura Mercier, who is the queen of flawless faces and the reality is, I've yet to find something better!

November 13, 2007, 8:12 am I love this tinted moisturizer. I use Almond which gives me a slight tan. It is really moisturizing and creamy and leaves a relly pretty sheen to the face. Probably not good for oily skin, but since I have dry skin its perfect. The perfect amount of coverage without being too thick. It is the only foundation I have ever repurchased! However, the only negative is that it is a little expensive for a tinted moisturizer. . . November 13, 2007, 8:12 am

Looking at the sales associate's skin, I asked her what she was wearing and she lead me to Laura Mercier. I've been satisfied since! And so while you. It's light weight and leaves a nice dewy finish. Just in time for the summer! Enjoy. June 1, 2008, 2:53 pm

    My skin drys out a lot with the acne products I use, so this helps out a lot. I always put this on before I put any make-up.

December 7, 2007, 10:37 am My skin drys out a lot with the acne products I use, so this helps out a lot. I always put this on before I put any make-up. Whenever I use this, I put on less makeup, because the tint makes it seem like the base layer is already on. I use this before using the following two Laura Mercier Make-up. A plus is that this is oil-free so, it doesn't clog my pores or make me break out at all. So, over night wear is ok. December 7, 2007, 10:37 am

November 29, 2007, 2:26 pm This is one of the ONLY products that meets my sun protection, moisturizer, and light foundation needs! I ADORE this product. I have very fair skin so I choose the lightest shade. It provides wonderful light coverage that lets my skin shine through but look 100 times better! My only wish is that the SPF would be a bit stronger (it is 20). Other than that is in my all-time top-10 favorite products. November 29, 2007, 2:26 pm
