I have bought 3 of these kts and the concealer pot does not show the shade name. I believe they are LM's lightest. I'm very fair and the one in the Nude kit has been perfect. There are two shades in the concealer pot ; a secret camouflage... a light yellow (neutralizes red) base a bit drier in texture and a slightly pink, flesh toned, very creamy concealer. The two may be blended for custom shades and coverage. No creasing!

medium

The nude kit comes with Undercover Pot #2. The sand kit comes with Undercover Pot #3. The nude kit is for lighter complexions.

Nude or Sand are available now.

One is a little darker that the other. One is really creamy and that is for the eye section, you can mix and match, its really perfect. I got the nude kit, and I have mediun skin. Do not overuse the concelear around your nose it will clog your pores :(

In the sand option it is concealer 3, in the nude concealer 2

There are two shades in each set. Most likely you can blend the color to get a match. The concealer works well and is easy to apply. Actually- I let my four year old son "paint" it on me!

I have purchased 3 of the "Nude" (lightest) kits so far. The concealer pot does not show a shade name. Like Secret Camouflage the pot contains two shades; a light, yellow tone a bit drier to cover (red) spots, etc. and a creamy concealer for undereyes. These can be mixed depending on what you need. I have very fair skin and found the shades PERFECT!

Medium and light

They are light and medium and can be blended

one is peach colored for under eye shadows and the other one is skin colored
and blends perfectly.

The kit I bought was the lightest, which I need. You can look on Sephora's website & I think the colors are listed.

The Diva Loves the Velour Puff, I use the puff with loose powders. Pat with the puff rather rubbing, that should prevent the problem of removing your makeup.

The puff is used to lightly dust on the powder after applying the moisturizer and camouflage for blemishes and under eyes. As long as you don't wipe the powder, but lightly pat it on after completing the other steps, I find it works great and really sets everything. If you follow the instructions on the card that is provided in the kit, you should have no problems with the application.

The puff is to "lay" the powder onto your face and, essentially, seal it all in for the day without taking off the makeup underneath. If you put powder on the puff (by sprinkling or by sort of dipping the puff into the powder), gently rub the puff together to spread the powder out so it is not loose and falling off the puff, and then "roll" the puff over your skin in one area then another it doesn't rub anything off and gives a great even, powdered finish. It is sort of like rocking it over each area of your face. It works great.

the puff is just useless!! The powder from the concealer pot is too little to be used all over your face.

Funny, I asked the same thing at the store and although they didn't directly say it's useless they directed me to use a powder brush instead. This works better then trying to pouf my face with that puff, it didn't seem to give me even powder coverage.

I'm in the same position! I had the tinted moisturizer, and it's time for more. I loved it! Some days I would just where that! Her products seem to have a good reputation. They have counters in some dept. stores too. The moisturizer is 45, so why not for an extra 15 bucks, try out 6 other products. I think it's a great buy! I'm am ordering tonight! I hope this helps!

First of all the price of this is amazing! You get a great deal, with everything especially with the brushes. But a good alternative is the makeup forever hd foundation set.

Well, I tried some other tinted moisturizers that I really like. I don't know if they are cheaper, but I love, love, love Brite Prep FX Brightening Foundation Primer with SPF 50. After I put that on, I use my shade of Bare Minerals Powder foundation, and it goes on like an airbrushed look, plus you are getting SPF 50!! The other brand I like is Make Up Forever Professional Lift concealer. It comes in different shades, and, again, I put Bare Minerals over that, as well, or you can wear it alone. It is a fabulous product, but I think it is expensive and it is also smaller in size than the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, .05 oz, but it is truely a professional product that won't disappoint. Also, check out Smashbox. I haven't had the chance to try them, but they might be a bit cheaper. In the summer, I live in AZ, I'm going to try using the FX Brite Prep primer, just because it has an incredible SPF of 50, and the sun is the real damage causer of all skin concerns. Try looking into all of Sephora's sale items, too. With the economy, the prices can go down on some of your favorite brands. I hope I have helped you, God Bless.

It is an excellent value, and excellent quality. I also like Hourglass TM, which has alot more coverage (but you don't need to set it or use any primer). This allows my natural skin to show through more though - very natural product = if your skin looks good to begin with it will give you a finish that is pretty

The concealers and primer are excellent and definately worth a try.

No breakouts

I have been using this for almost 2 weeks-it has actually improved my skin! Not a single breakout!

No breakouts from this product! This kit has not caused me to break out but has done a nice job at covering pre-existing breakouts.

no

Sadly yes, it broke me out within a week. :-(

I use the sponge to apply the tinted moisturizer when I am not in a hurry because it gives more even coverage. When I'm on the go, I use my fingers.

Use the Egg Shaped Sponge to apply Tinted Moisturizer (and or foundation). Moisten it with water and squeeze out until it is damp. Dot tinted moisturizer on your face, then blend lightly with sponge working from forehead on down. You want to lightly smooth the product on. Allow to dry then apply concealer and tinted moistruizer.

the egg shaped sponge is for applying the tinted moisturizer. there's a directions sheet inside the kit that tells you all the steps and the tools to use. good luck!

It's for applying the tinted moisturizer. And it's great in my opinion; much better at getting into curves of the face than a typical wedge sponge.

probably not

no

These colors suit everyone except possibly very dark skin

Colors are workable for many skin shades

I would get the oil free version of this kit if you have oily skin because it feels more lightweight and it won't cause breakouts.

I used the regular tinted moisturizer and I definetly broke out, however after switching to the oil-free version my breakouts went away and I've been happily using it for the past year or so.
Although, even if you use the oil-free, during the summer my skin got really really shiny. I combat this with some Lierac lotions though and there is no adverse affect with the LM tinted moisturizer.

laura mercier does have an oil-free tinted moisturizer, but i dont think it comes in the set?

I have never been to that specific location but every Sephora shop I have visited recently has been carrying this set.

yup. that's where i got mine.

They are in Sephora stores right now. :)

I have super sensitive skin and I haven't had any trouble with this at all. In fact I have noticed my skin looking better on its own after using this for a couple of weeks.

Lauara Mercier products are oil free and do not contain any noticable fragrance or scent, a common irritant.

I would go with the nude that is the shade I use and I love it.

I would also recommend the Nude. It sounds like we have similar complections, and I am finding it to be a great shade this late-summer to early fall. If it is any help, in Bare Minerals I wear fair and fairly light and the Nude LM is a great match.
