Very Good Foundation - 07.03.09
This foundation is perfect for the summer. It is not greasy at all on the face and coverage is pretty decent too. I use it in the morning with a foundation brush for a sheer finish. Love it!!

Holy Grail, humid-style - 07.01.09
Quick Take: beautifully natural

Living in hot, humid Texas, and having a face that sweats at the least provocation, foundation is an issue.
Not anymore. This foundation covers well without looking or feeling like a mask, and STANDS UP TO HEAT!!!
I love this stuff.

I like this foundation, but it doesn't control my oily skin as much as I would like it to. I use this product around my eyes as a shadow primer. The coverage is average too, not light but not full coverage.

silky and natural - 06.28.09
Quick Take: natural, lightweight

I love this foundation. I have temperamental skin but I've never had a breakout with this. It goes on smoothly and doesn't appear flaky, thick or fake even when up close and personal.

the coverage is good and feels light on the face but it is shiny! Am going to try the sephora blotting sheets next because I don't want to give up on something so expensive.
I like that it's buildable but looks natural on.

Most natural suntan shade - 06.20.09
Quick Take: moisturizing

The shade of Laura Mercier's Suntan Beige Oil Free Foundation is the most natural suntan shade you will get because it has rose tones in it, unlike other tan shades which have purely brownish tones. The rose tones give you a healthy, natural look. I love it. I've tried a lot of tan makeups and this one is the very best. Powder on a little Tinted Mineral Veil powder (finishing powder) afterward and you're good to go. But remember, always use a light touch when applying makeup. Don't go overboard. A little goes a long way. It's a little pricey but worth every penny. It wears well on older skin. It doesn't settle into the wrinkles. I won't use anything else. This makeup gives you a healthy look.

Finally, a foundation that works for acne skin - 06.19.09
After trying at least 30 foundation formulas in the last two years, this version from Laura M. is a good fit for acne-prone skin. Not only can you get full coverage when you need it, the foundation is easily removed with a basic cleanser and does not clog the pores. I've worked with an esthetician for 2 years, and this foundation is the best so far for not settling into the pores and provoking more acne flairs. Use a disposal sponge to apply (not fingers), and enjoy the matte look. Follow with powder to set. Thanks Laura and Sephora!!!

MAKE UP AT THE END OF THE DAY! - 06.17.09
Quick Take: oil free, long wearing, worth every penny!

Stays on ALL DAY! Looks good, doesn't cake or turn colors, I look as good as I did when I walked out of the house in the morning. You have NO idea how nice that is. I am just oily and there wasn't any point in buying makeup because it would just slide off my face by 10 am. Love this foundation!

Oily/Acne prone skin sabotaging your foundation? - 06.16.09
Quick Take: non-acnegenic, all day coverage

Get flawless skin with the Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation. I was never able to find a foundation that didn't "melt" off my face by the end of the day or clog my pores and cause more blemishes. A friend recommended this oil-free foundation and it has completely transformed my skin. Love it!

A makeup staple - 06.15.09
I have used this foundation (as well as several other LM foundations) for several years now. This liquid version has a nice, sheer finish, which looks best with a finishing powder. Good for everyday, light coverage.

Oil Free Foundation - 06.15.09
Quick Take: moisturizing

I have been using this for the last couple of years now, I like to mix with my daily moisturizer for a lighter coverage. During the summer months I will mix in a darker color. This is a great product.

Someof the Best Foundation Out There - 06.14.09
Quick Take: excellent coverage

I just love this stuff. It holds up pretty dang well - especially if paired with some spackle applied first...

The shades are quite good for me since I am one of those not quite pale and not quite medium skin toned.

I think it's worth the price - which is admittedly mid-range. Add on the Mercier translucent powder afterward and you have a perfect face.

a little too dark for my skin, so returned it for the next lighter shade. I really like the way this feels and covers and also that it is oil free

This is the best foundation I have ever used - 06.10.09
This foundation has great coverage without looking like makeup. Just a tiny bit changes my look dramatically. It also lasts for hours, doesn't smudge or crease. I love it.

Quick Take: not for me.

I loved how it looked on me in the store so I bought this product. After a couple of days using however; my face started to break out. I have combination skin and would not recommend to anyone with this same problem.

Disappointed - 06.09.09
I have used Laura Mercier products when you had to call a 1-800 number. She hadn't even been picked up yet by a retailer. I have always adored her lipsticks and own all of her makeup brushes, but this foundation is VERY difficult to apply. I consider myself pretty good at getting foundation coverage just right but this product is really frustrating. The shade match is almost perfect just wish the application process was easier!

My favorite foundation EVER!!!! - 06.05.09
Quick Take: flawless

This foundation has always been my number one favorite for years. It covers really well and leaves my skin silky smooth. Vanilla beige is a great color for olive complections. Whenever I put it on, everyone asks me what makeup I wear. DEFINETELY WORTH THE $$$$
