I love this product. Ive tried many BB creams and tinted moisturizers and I keep coming back to this one. The coverage is amazing, great texture and long lasting finish. I will keep coming back to this product for a long time.

I don't wear face makeup usually. This is a perfect product to add a little colour and even out the skin. Wear your regular moisturizer under this product.

Not good for Oily Skin
-03.22.13
I have oily / combination skin. I find that this produce increases the oil on my T - Zone. Although the texture is smooth and light weight I find that there's a heaviness to it - it makes my face appear heavy and oily.

Good, but not great
-03.02.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage, lightweight, not very moisturizing
I bought this because the reviews seemed amazing and I wanted a sheer coverage "foundation".
The main problem I have with this moisturizer is that I can't use it by itself. I have to put moisturizer on, then primer, and then I use this tinted moisturizer. The coverage is sheer, as I wanted, but I did find the color a bit too dark for me (a girl matched me at Sephora so she may have just been a bit off). Nothing too noticeable.
I'll use it all up, and maybe keep it for the summer when I'm tanner, but I probably won't buy it again. It's a good product but, for the cost, I wish it worked as my primary moisturizer.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, lightweight, smooth
I really do like Laura Mercier products so after my Smashbox tinted moisturizer ran out I picked this one up. At first I was horrified - the texture of this stuff on your hands is really weird. It's sticky more than liquidy or flexible when you rub it in your hands, but it does cover well, doesn't make me break out, and makes me less shiny than Smashbox.
Four stars because it doesn't fully cover my little red acne scars (it's a tinted moisturizer not foundation, I know, I know, but a girl can hope), but I just pop on a bit of concealer and then sweep LM's pressed foundation over my face and I'm good!

Can't live without

Quick Take: lightweight, contains SPF, sheer coverage
Ever since I started using this product people told me I was glowing! This product feels weightless & theres a fair amount in the tube, I use it every day & it lasts for about 4 months. Keep in mind, this is a tinted moisturizer so there isn't a ton of coverage its more for evening out your skin tone. So if you are in need of more coverage this might not be the product for you. I have repurchased this & will continue till I find something better which is doubtful!

Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage
I bought this in the colour "Nude" and it ended up being too dark for me. This foundation oxidizes so wait ten minutes or so to be sure of your colour match. I liked the smell! It smelled like sunscreen, which always reminds me of summer. This product was a lifesaver for me when I needed to even out my skin tone during the winter when my skin was really dry. Next time I think I'll buy the regular version, I found with the oil-free you had to work it into the skin very fast and blend vigorously. Oil-free also feels a little heavier on the skin, in my opinion.

Great coverage, but terrible smell
-11.16.12
Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight
I used the regular tinted moisturizer, which was amazing but thought it would be better to use the oil free version since I have combination skin. I tried it on my wrist in the store, but I didn't realize the smell until I brought it home and put it on my face. You end up ignoring it through the day but the first application's pretty bad. Hopefully laura mercier can come up with an improved version.

Amazing, great coverage!
-11.04.12
I love this product. My skin has become dry from pregnancy and the change of seasons, and my usual foundations just aren't cutting it.
I went through my summer stash and came across this... so glad I kept it! It has been my life-saver! I am so amazed by the coverage, I didn't realize how amazing it is! Better than most foundations I use.
It's applied best with fingertips. It glides on well, leaves a smooth and moisturized look, but not greasy or heavy.
One of the best purchases I've ever made! And I've got stashes of foundations, from Makeup 4Ever, Lancome, etc...

Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight, natural
i hated this product when i first purchased it. i have very fair skin with pink undertones so most makeup out there has gold or yellow and doesn't match at all. i usually use covergirl because its the lightest foundation i can find, but its poor quality and makes me break out like crazy. a sephora rep recommended using this laura mercier tinted moisturizer (in porcelain) with a concealer to cover just my spots. well, i tried it multiple times and just hated the way it sat on my skin. it seemed to roll off and collect in weird places on my face.. it did not look natural. i stopped using it for months. i was reading an article recently though that interviewed a model who swore by this product so i dug it out and decided to give it another go. i have since introduced a pro activ primer to my routine and it seems to be the fix! this offers very light and sheer natural looking coverage when combined with the primer. i am glad i gave it another chance!

Quick Take: contains SPF, lightweight
i cant say enough good things about this product. it gives you amazing coverage. covers all redness its moisturizing and has an SPF. when you put it on your face it feels like butter its just a luxurious feeling. when you have it on it doesnt feel like you have makeup on, also this lasts ALL day. and one thing i love about this is IT DOESNT BRAKE ME OUT. i am one of the most acne prone people but this has had no affect on my skin except making it looking beautiful.

Perfectly perfect no-make-up look
-10.11.12
This is perfect for those who want to look naturally flawless. I have a natural blush and freckles that I like to shine through-this balances out your skin tone and goes on so smoothly and evenly. I do however still use a moisturizer (origins age defense) and for the occasional blemish I use cover fx concealer. The best combination of products I've ever used!

Wonderful!
-09.10.12
Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage
I have been searching for a tinted moisturizer that wouldn;t leave me with an oil slick on my face. This is the answer to my prayers. I have very fair skin with a lot of red/pink undertones. The "blush" shade is perfect for me. It even covers my acne scarring. I do have very oily skin, so I put onMurad Mattifier first, then LM tinted moisturizer, then set it with Luara Gellar Balance & Brighten in Fair. It lasts all day.
One crticism - if your face is AT ALL sweaty - the moisturizer will not go on your face. It turns in to this slippery stuff that will not adhere to your skin.

-08.21.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I love the natural finish and thicker consistency of this product. It goes on smoothly, lasts throughout the day, and gives sheer but sufficient coverage. The oil-free formula helps keep my combination skin from breaking out (which it so often does with makeup and lotions), but I've found that setting this with a powder is a must for me; otherwise, after a few hours, I'll look shiny.

Quick Take: sheer coverage, lightweight, shiney
I really like this product and would reccommend it for anyone looking for light coverage just to even out skin tone. However, I wish the SPF was higher. I also find I HAVE to layer a powder on top as this product is very shiney.

I love this tinted moisturizer. I have always held back from using face products because my face tends to break out, but I have had no problems with this product. It covers what I need it to cover and it gives me a tint of colour which is nice because I am so fair.

-07.17.12
Quick Take: contains SPF, sheer coverage, lightweight, easy to use, great for someone who doesn't like makeup
I am still in my teens and don't like wearing a lot of make up, but I really like this. I have a lot of dark spots on my face from pimples and stuff, and although this doesn't cover them fully, it makes them much much less noticable. Also, the color I got matches my skin tone absolutely perfectly, which as someone who never uses make up and still goes to school, I was worried about looking stupid if my face was the wrong color. But that's definitely not the case! You can use as little of as much as you want, depending on how much coverage you need. I have really oily skin, especially around my cheeks and nose, and this doesn't stop that fully, but it definitely put a dent in it.
