Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Oil Free Natural Skin Perfector

I tested this tinted moisturiser our for a YouTube video recently, and was really drawn to it as it is lighter on the skin and has skincare benefits. I have super oily skin, so seeing a tinted moisturiser for my skin type was great for me! It stays put for a good 6-8 hours and doesn’t look oily but gives a nice healthy glow, and I set this with a translucent powder. Since working from home, I’ve been into sheer/light tints for my skin (as opposed to full coverage which I used to love before!) This gives a sheer/light tint but can easily be build up to light/medium coverage. I love how there are multiple different undertones, as I love my it cosmetics CC Cream but it comes in limited shades so doesn’t always work for me - I self tan so have a warm/olive undertone. It contains SPF 20 so is great for summer, so will give a bit more help if you were to use an SPF under the tinted moisturiser. It also doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything my face and it has vitamins and skincare benefits to help your skin whilst you’re getting a bit of coverage. You get 50ml so is more than the standard foundation sizes, and you only need just a little more than a pea-sized amount for one layer. I love this tinted moisturiser and have 3 shades! For reference, I use Estee Lauder Double Wear in 2W1 and 2W2, and the same shades in this tinted moisturiser match. Overall, I love this tinted moisturiser and it’s one of my go-to base products, along with It Cosmetics Oil Free CC Cream, L’Oreal True Match Foundation and Chanel Water Fresh Tint. I love this stuff and will continue to repurchase! Check out my YouTube video to see how it applies and how it goes after a full day wear test - search ‘Chloe Luckin’

I wanted to try this so much and I got the oil free because I have combination skin... ok it is a tinted moisturiser but I just don’t like the way it sits on the skin. It starts to melt after few hours and it accentuates texture and imperfections. It looks greasy and I was expecting much better for the price. I can use it to go and by bread or if i have the intention to return home in 2-3hours. I will try it again on winter but it is a no no no no on for summer days. I think it may be great for dry skin.

I have this in the shade Bisque and although I don’t use it every day (I need a shade lighter) I do keep getting drawn back to it. I like how moisturising it feels but I always powder it down in my tzone. It wears well and gives a nice even base so on a good skin day I can get away with this and a touch of concealer. You get a decent amount for your money and it lasts. I find it best applied with your fingers or a sponge, it’s quite wet to apply but dries down quick enough and leaves a nice glow to the skin. Not that buildable but it’s a tinted moisturiser so I wasn’t expecting much coverage.

I am usually a NC15-20, but got this in 'Bisque' from the LM counter. It gives me an even base colour to work with, and often find I only need to wear concealer on top to cover my acne scars. I sometimes mix it with my MAC Studio Fix Fluid when I want a sheerer, more dewy look. Only downside is sometimes the product gets a bit 'peely' as I'm applying if I rub too hard.

i bought this from space nk and at first i was a little bit aprehensive about the MOISTURIZER because i have very oily skin but this was perfect for my skin type. it lasts throughout the day without reapplying and actually helped my skin and made it smoother, softer and have a more even skin tone when i took it off.
