Thanks to being a member of Pop Sugar's Sample Squad, I was recently provided with a $43 full size Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. Holy Crap, Batman! I was so excited to receive this! One it was full size and two it is a Laura Mercier product! I recently came to love her products......I am sad to say it took me this long.
Actually, the first product I ever tried was from Sephora and it was a bronzing primer. It gave me the perfect shimmery tan and was also a primer and I loved it. Then I tried this product at a department store with my mama (different shade) and am using her highlighter on and off daily. Ah.....so nice.
Okay, back to this product. The color I received was nude.
Here is what it looks like, with and without flash.
(you can also tell that I have stopped going to the tanning bed....a decision that was very hard for me to make but I will be turning 34 in a few days and I am trying to slow down the aging process)
Let me start by saying that I was afraid this was going to be like a lotion with a tint.....albeit pricey, I have tried some products a bit pricey and they have given me no coverage at all. But no, this is light coverage with SPF 20 in it. It is thick, like foundation, not thin like a lotion. "Nude" is actually described as a light beige for fair to light skin tones. It gives off a bit of a dewy finish (sidebar, dewy always makes me think of the character in Scary Movie haha), so if you don't like that, use a powder finish like I did. I used MakeUp Forever's HD Finish Powder.
I used a beauty blender to apply the product and here is what it looks like on me. I also used Benefit's Porefessional as my primer.
Have you tried this product before? How do you apply it?
Let me know in the comments below!
Have a great day!!
