I have some rosacea too, although my skin isn't fair, really... I was thinking of trying the FAWN color, rather than Sand. Although I haven't tried this yet, I understand the coverage is light, based on most of the comments. If you're concerned about it not covering the rosacea enough, try pairing it up with Clinique Redness Solutions mineral power. It's got a very transluscent/yellow base and is wonderfully light on your face and it's WONDERFUL at combatting that redness without feeling cakey.

I am 61 yrs. old also have redness on my skin, similar to rosacea, and the color I tried was the color of my skin, not darker cause I was told that it would look as if I had a tan and I wanted the moisturizer to work year round. It did even out my skin color and looked finished but it did not entirely cover my redness, but it did offer a good improvement. Also, I have combo skin and my forehead looked a little greasy as the day wore on. However, I have used the Vincent Longo foundation which covered the redness completely and did not look heavy on my 61 yr. old face.

It might take a little trail and error with this as the moisturizer is pretty sheer. I use the nude and am on the fair side and it works in the summer even with a little bit of color that I get. I think it depends on how red your rosacea is and how fully you would like it covered up, I use Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil over the top. Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck.

I am a red head, freckled, fair girl with red tones. I wear porcelain in the winter and nude in the summer. I think if you can't try it on at the store go with the lighter first as the summer sun is leaving shortly. If you don't feel its dark enough you could mix with a bit of foundation or just use as a moisturizer. Then on next order go darker. Good luck, I love this product!

Which ever color has less pink undertones would probably work best for you since you want to counteract the redness from rosacea. try to see if it blends well with your skin, use very little at first to make sure. Personally I feel that the color range in this tinted moisturizer seems to suit most skin tones well which is a plus.

If the pigment of your skin is lighter, stick with the lighter shade. You don't need a darker shade to try and mask the roseaca, that will only add to the pigment. I also have mild roseaca, I know the struggles in trying to achieve an even tone. Additionally, as a makeup artist I am always searching for ways to help with issues surrounding application, etc. What I might suggest is to apply a very thin layer of concealer (using a concealer brush), to the areas affected by roseaca before applying the tinted mositurizer. That way you can get a little more coverage where you need it, while reaping the benefits of the sheer tint in the mositurizer. Good luck!

The best way to determine this is by going to Sephora or Laura Mercier counter and having a professional (or yourself) put the make-up on your face to determine the correct color for you. Something that I do is combine two colors of the tinted moisturizer to get the best possible color that is correct for my face.

I use the nude color and like it a lot. But it doesn't provide a lot of coverage. Maybe use this in conjuction with a foundation primer that tones down the red in your skin. Smashbox has a nice primer - I use the clear one but there is one for reddish tone skin I believe. Good luck

I would go with the deeper tone, because it is lightweight and the color is not masky or intense. If you get it in too pale a tone it wouldn't be sufficient to even out the "rosiness". Certainly, stop in the store and sample both, that's always the ultimate proof.

I would go with the nude color, just because it's the safest bet. The sand color might look to orange, and you want a more natural looking finish. This product will even out your skin tone very naturally, and give you a more luminous and fresh appearance. If you want a little more color on your cheecks try a subtle blush, or peachy bronzer.

I have pretty light colored skin, especially when the winter comes. So I use a slightly darker color. This gives me a nice sublte glow for the winter but also covers the slight redness that I might have from dry skin. I would say go into the store and try both colors and see which is a better concealer.

I have fair/medium coloring although lean toward a medium during the summer with a slight tan. I tried the fawn. I wrote the Laura Mercier people and asked what color they'd recommend/I wanted the most neutral choice as my skin tone has pink and have the best luck with a neutral choice. So when the "fawn" arrived and I put it on, it didn't look good. Seemed to look yellow on my face. I think next time I'd try the nude color.

I would recommend the Nude--it's what I use. I have an olive complexion but I never get sun so I'm pretty pale. Before I was as diligent about sunscreen I used Sand but now it's too dark for me. I think the Nude is in fact actually lighter than Sand, though the undertones may differ slightly.

Hello! The product contains titanium dioxide as well as zinc oxide. I believe these are both "physical" sunscreen ingredients that actually deflect UV rays rather than absorb them like chemical ingredients do. To be sure, I just looked it up on Wikipedia (not the best source, but it says the same thing).....

In almost every sunscreen with a physical blocker, titanium dioxide is found because of its high refractive index, its strong UV light absorbing capabilities and its resistance to discolouration under ultraviolet light. This advantage enhances its stability and ability to protect the skin from ultraviolet light. Sunscreens designed for infants or people with sensitive skin are often based on titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide, as these mineral UV blockers are less likely to cause skin irritation than chemical UV absorber ingredients, such as avobenzone.

I think I'm going to buy this today...hope it is worth the $$$. :)

Zinc and/or titanium oxide is what you want to look for. Not the easiest ingredients to find. SkinCeuticals has great sunblocks that a zinc based and not too thick or white looking on the face. By the way, zinc is THE most effective sunscreen ingredient.

From what I know SPFs like avobenzone, etc. are all chemical, Physical ones are actual minerals--like the ones that the lifeguards used to put on their noses-- and make the product challky, which is the reason why they are not popular. I think some of the natural ones are titanium and zinc oxide. I think these ingredients are not easy to find but U might get more info by googling the Internet.

Question
Yet another shade question
I'm a pale person of mixed asian/hispanic/caucasian descent. I have hazel eyes and very dark brown/black hair. There isn't a hint of pink in my skin, yet there isn't much yellow either. My undertones are vvery neutral, I'd guess. I have a much easier time finding foundation in asia, or from asian brands because I need fair shades that aren't pink. My skin tone is a bit like Kristen Kreuk when she doesn't have a tan, although my hair is darker. I currently wear Armani Luminous Silk in 2, but will probably need 5 in the summer. So, like everyone else, I'm wondering which shade to order (I can't make it to a store to be matched though I know that'd be the easiest). I'm thinking Nude is probably best? Is Sand too dark? Porcelain would be too pale, I think. And, if i end up picking up color this summer, and Sand is too light, should I get Almond (and maybe mix it with a lighter shade if it's too dark)? Looking at the way the colors display on my monitor, Fawn looks like it'd be a good match for me, but the fact that it says it has "pink undertones" worries me.

Please help out this very confused girl! Thanks for reading this long post!

Buy Nude and Sand and mix your color for what ever season it is. I always buy two sometimes three shades and mix my colors to get exactly the color that is right for what ever time of the year it is. That way you waist nothing because you will use it sooner or later. It takes a few mixings and you can do it right in the palm of your hand the more you do it the easier it gets and pretty soon you'll be a pro.

Oh, I thought of a P.S. to my previous answer...
Since you mentioned you have some difficulty finding foundation shades to match your neutral undertones (other than Asian brands), I thought I'd mention that I've had great success with Kevyn Aucoin's 'The Liquid Airbrush' foundation. I've been using the 'LQ02' shade this winter, and it has matched my very pale skin wonderfully, though I'm finding that even I need something darker for summer.
The point is, it might be a good match for you also, if you have very neutral undertones like I do (not exactly pink or yellow, but a little of both)

Hello, you!
I have coloring very similar to yours, so felt compelled to answer. I've found that the Porcelain shade leans slightly towards a pinker undertone, while the Nude shade leans more towards a yellower undertone. (I am somewhere in between) I've found that the Porcelain generally matches my skin color better in the winter, while the Nude works well in the summer when I've had just a little sun.
While this product does have some color, the fact that it is pretty light in coverage gives me enough leeway that I can get away with wearing either the Porcelain or Nude shade. Neither is really all that light, so if you're pale at all, I wouldn't really worry about it being TOO light.
I hope this helps you!

Question
new shade bisque??
I'm interested in the new bisque color. I wear nude right now but in the summer I switch to fawn. The sand has always been way too yellow and dark- not sure why they say "for light to medium skin" on that one. I'm hoping the bisque falls between the nude and fawn and is a true neutral shade for those of us with both yellow and pink in our skin. Thanks.

I use Nude (Sand in the summer), but I was at Sephora today and just wanted to try a swatch (on my hand) of the new Bisque shade. Let me say it is MUCH, MUCH DARKER in person. It's actually quite a bit darker than Sand, so if the Sand is too dark for you I'd reconsider the Bisque or at least try it in person.

Have you called a Sephora rep to ask? I guarantee you they'll know or, if not, can probably send you a little sample of Bisque. I mean, they're the ones who sell it - ask them! :-)

Question
I have been using this product and reordered only to find the tube is half the size for the same amount of money.
Did this company change the size, for the same amount of money? If so I will not reorder again thats too much of a difference and a ripp off.

Did you call Sephora and ask? If they don't know the answer, they can probably get an answer from L. Mercier. Or you can return it for a refund.

I thought it looked smalled as well, but the ounces were the same as it was the last time I had purchased it. My tube lasts about 5 months

Question
I bought this makeup in bare radiance last year, which color should I order to replace it?
I have red hair, light blue eyes, have a very difficult time finding a shade to match my skin. Bare radiance was the perfect shade. I need to order more, need help determining which shade to order. Thanks.

If you used Bare Radiance you should get Porcelain.

I use Nude, which is the 2nd lightest shade, and Natural Radiance in the Illuminating version. The Bare Radiance was way too light for me so I think you'd definitely be Porcelain.

I'd give Sephora a call if you can't get to a store. Their reps are really helpful, and they're great with returns if you don't like the color. 1-877-737-4672

I also use the bare radiance shade. It blends with my skin perfectly. I have med blond hair, blue eyes and fair to light skin color. I think it is the lightest shade they have?

Question
Okay for freckles?
I was going to buy the Laura Mercier Flawless Face kit but I don't want products that are too dark for me, and since my skin is fair (though not ghostly pale) I think I should only use the lightest shades. Plus, I don't really need the primer and all the brushes so I just wanted to buy the tinted moisturizer and secret camouflage, both of which I've heard glowing reviews about.
But I wanted to know if this would cover up my freckles? I DO NOT want it to do that. I don't have freckles all over my face, just across my cheeks and nose. I don't break out a whole lot but sometimes in my T-zone I do, so maybe this will help? What is your experience with it? Obviously I don't want to go the foundation route, but I do use moisturizer for SPF and, obviously, moisturization. Still, this would be my first tinted moisturizer so I wanted to make sure it doesn't cover up my skin, just blemishes. Thanks!

It doesn't cover my freckles! I don't have blemishes though so I can't answer that part of your question.

The product sounds like what you are looking for. It does not cover my freckles, just a light sheer smoothing of the skin. I do need to reapply sunscreen later in the day though.

I also have very fair skin with freckles across my cheeks and nose and this does not cover them up. It does tone them down a little bit though. I use this and the undercover pot for under eye circles/blemishes and am happy with the results. It gives coverage while still keeping a clean, natural look. I have drier skin and need to use a moisturizer underneath this as well as the primer. I would go to Sephora and get a sample to try out before buying. That way you can determine if it is the look and feel you are going for.
