Customer Reviews of Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20
Customer Review: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer gives a healthy glow
Summary: 4 Stars
The only shade other than Nude I would attempt to try is the almond. The sand and fawn are too brownish beige. This is also 20 SPF. Tinted moisturizer is like a hint of color added to your moisturizer, which is why I chose Nude and am happy with the overall look to my face and feel on my skin.
The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is easy to apply, feels soft and silky to the skin. It is applied using fingertips. While I was at the counter at Nordstrom the cosmetician used a brush to apply. I liked this better than a cotton ball used at other counters.
A 1.5 ounce tube will last from 4-5 months, probably longer now that fall is here and less coverage is needed for this season. This has an anti-oxidant complex that protects the skin.
I have eczema, allergic to lanolin and check ingredients on all cosmetics before buying. The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer does not contain lanolin, is Dermatologist tested and not tested on animals. I started using the moisturizer in early summer. This survived the brutal temps in Southern California.
You do not have the caked on look, this is streak free, did not add much shine to my face, more of a glow. I read somewhere online that Sarah Jessica Parker attributes her healthy glow to the Nude shade of the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer as well.
I even used this a few times as an under eye concealer when the skin looked lighter in color and needed a boost. There were no breakouts associated with using the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It worked well on keeping my rash area covered up with a more healthy look.
The tube is easy to grasp with one hand and remove the twist-off cap in one twist. The contents are squeezed through the opening. Although once you get to the end of the tube you will need to shake it a bit to obtain the remaining droplets. I found that this worked just as well at the bottom of the tube as it did from when first purchased months ago.
This is a tinted moisturizer that works on all skin-types and colors. The price is a bit steep, but I used it all compared to tossing out the Mac Face and Body Foundation and using the Serious Skin Care Tinted Moisturizer infrequently.
Customer Review: Great For African American Skin Tones
Summary: 5 Stars
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 Review: Legendary Formula with Excellent Staying Power
Summary: 5 Stars
When I hit my 40s, my wonderful skin started to look a little less than wonderful. I had never worn a drop of foundation, and didn't want to start... just not natural enough for me. Then my sister-in-law mentioned that she is a huge Laura Mercier fan because of the Tinted Moisturizer... wouldn't leave home without it. I found a beauty counter, asked for a demo, and I was hooked. I feel like I have my young, natural skin back. TM is light and sheer, and you can built in up in areas that need a bit more help, like red zones and undereye circles. Some days I can even skip the undereye concealer. But I never have that unflattering foundation mask-y look. I've since learned that Laura's Tinted Moisturizer is considered a legendary product in the beauty world... a precious, carefully guarded formula that no other company has been able to duplicate. Laura Mercier is a genius. So is my sister-in-law. :o) Great value too... costs me about $7 per month to wear this every single day.Customer Review: A REAL STEP AND FACE SAVER
Summary: 4 Stars
Always on the lookout for what would get me off and running more quickly in the morning, I heard about this Tinted Moisturizer from Laura Mercier. It does the trick. There's no longer a need for me to use moisturizer, wait for it to be absorbed, and then apply foundation.
Should mention up front that the natural look is my preference so I'm attracted to formulations with just a hint of color. Of course, the addition SPF 20 is a very real and practical bonus.
When using this skin tends to have a very natural look but "better," if you will. My skin is fair so I use "Porcelain," which takes away the paleness but does not camouflage skin tone. It's best for me to apply the tint with fingertips and gently smooth.
Wouldn't give up my foundation as it's needed for evenings and special occasions, but for daily use this Tinted Moisturizer really saves a step in the morning and saves my face all day.
Customer Review: This worked for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Laura Mercier tinted face cream. I used the tan and it was wonderful. The coverage is light and it is very easy to apply.
I am not a fan of foundation and I can rarely find one to match my skin tone so I tend to wear foundation only in the evening. At age 46 I think I need a little evening out of my facial skin tone in the bright light of day. This is perfect, the tan works well for me and my skin looks so much better. It doesn't look done but rather fresh and "even toned" I recommend it highly.My only query is whether the SPF is really broad spectrum or if sunscreen should be worn under the product.
My package came without the product. Was a little hard getting Sephora by email. I went through Amazon to complain and then got a Sephora agent Dan. He was helpful and the p'lem was corrected quickly.I am glad I did not ask for a refund. I will definitely be buying this again.
