Customer Rating: Summary: Great base Comment: I like creating flawless look though people may recognize that I do have foundation on. This product gives me a nice dewy base for a power foundation (Shiseido) I put on after. I used to use heavier cream foundation that costs over $100 for that perfect sheen look, but now feels completely light but perfectly even. I definitely would buy Laura Mercier Mineral Power to match with this product next. Customer Rating: Summary: Great For African American Skin Tones Comment: A few years ago I searched high and low for a tinted moisturizer that would work with my skin tone, and wasn't successful--until I found this one. What's great about this line is that there are colors to work with both yellow and red undertones - which you won't find in most other lines.
I have combination skin and so I use this during the winter on top of my moisturizer, I don't recommend using it alone. I tried doing that as well as using it on top of a serum - but it wasn't enough moisture throughout the day. It gives me an even look without looking like I have foundation on. People always ask me what is making my skin "glow like that". In the summer and spring I use the oil free version (same color) and it gives me the same great coverage. Light and dewy.
Makeup artists recommend applying this with a brush for even coverage, which I have, but I have applied it many days with my fingers in two minutes flat. And it looks great. I highly recommend this product for women who have good skin but just need to even things out or look "awake" before they head out for the day. I also use this for night looks -- and always receive compliments. There's just no need for heavy coverage anymore which I think ages you. Not when tinted moisturizer takes a few years off! Customer Rating: Summary: doesn't live up to the hype Comment: I read somewhere that Sarah Jessica Parker says this stuff makes her face "glow", yeah, it made me look pasty. And it actually didn't settle into my skin evenly. Not happy with this product at all, but will still use it as sunscreen as it seems to do the job. Customer Rating: Summary: Laura Mercier Tinited Moisturizer Comment: I use this for my make-up. I don't use foundation. It is just the right amount of coverage. I love it! I'm 61 and have tried many, many different kinds of make-up and this is the best. Customer Rating: Summary: Doesn't live up to the hype. Comment: I have purchased this twice, thinking that I had bought the wrong color for my skin tone. It isn't an inexpensive product, so I ended up spending over $80 for it.
It wasn't my skin tone, it was the product. I have read so many raves about this stuff, but it seems heavy and goopy, and looks artificial. If I wanted this kind of product, I would have been just as well getting a drug store foundation and saved the money.
I tried to purchase this in person, but the only way to get this is on line. So there is not really any choice in testing it out.
