I think it could be a bit on the shiny side for oily skin, but it depends what kind of finish you like. I have combo skin so I put powder over my nose and forehead afterwards and that works for me. I actually like that the finish is more dewy than matte because it looks more natural that way, but powder will be a must on top if you have truly oily skin.

I prefer a dewy finish as well and I have adult acne. I have had breakout since using this, but i was having them before so still trying to narrow if it may be something else. i would think if it caused breakouts,there would be some reviews about that. Anyway, If you are not interested in a more natural,dewy look, NARS makes a great oil-free matte foundation. My friend wears it and her skin looks gorgeous all day...too drying for me though!

I had the same concerns as you and was happy with the results. I have combination skin and tend to break out with anything too heavy. This has been fine so far. My only question would be, I like a dewey finish, if you are looking for something matte, it's not for you but otherwise I would give it a try.
If you're not sure why don't you go check it out at your local Sephora store and ask them to make you a sample? When in doubt that's what I do.

Best Application Method?

Fingers or a Brush?? Thanks!

answer 1

I was using my fingers for a long time, but recently bought a buffing brush for applying foundation and decided to give it a try with this. It makes all the difference! While I was satisfied with the coverage of this TM, the large pores on my cheeks and blackheads on my nose were still pretty visible. The buffing brush makes everything super smooth and also seems like it goes on much lighter.

While applying this with your fingers may be less of a waste of product I just felt the application was too heavy and I'd have to press a tissue to my face afterwards or I'd transfer on to everything and halfway through the day the TM would melt off.

Ultimately, both work, but the finish with the brush is much better and lighter.

You may lose some product with a brush, but I feel more comfortable doing that because I don't like touching my face. It blends really easily with a brush and my brushes don't seem to get too dirty (well even remotely compared to liquid foundation, which I normally use) by the time I wash them.

SPF not on label???

Never broken out from this though it does exacerbate my blackheads a little. As long as I stay on top of them, it's not a problem. It's also really moisturizing, my skin is pretty dry and I don't need to use moisturizer underneath.

I would totally wear this product to the gym. I work as a waitress and many nights I am so busy I sweat, and this makeup stays put. It is pretty sweat resistant and it is lightweight, but gives you good coverage and evens out your skin tone!

NARS vs. Laura Mercier

how does it compare to the laura mercer tinted moisturizer as far as coverage and finish go?

asked 1 year, 3 months ago

answer 1

The NARS one provides better (fuller) coverage compared to the Laura Mercier; however, it being a tinted moisturizer, the coverage is still rather light; it's on the sheer side of medium. Finish is definitely 'dewy,' as they say. I have combination skin and sometimes I don't set it w/powder because I love the beautiful finish so much. The LM is thicker in consistency and has a flat, almost matte finish, which looks unnatural when compared w/NARS'. Healthy, youthful skin is not flat but indeed 'glowy' – there's a freshness and radiance to it (just have a look at a little child's face) – this NARS product is appropriately named. I mean, everyone's preferences are different, but the NARS beats the LM in my book, no contest.

answer 2

I didn't care for the LM TM because I felt it did nothing for me. I have moderate redness in my cheeks and occasional breakouts around my jaw line and when I applied the LM, I felt like I was throwing money away because I didn't feel like it covered anything and I was unable to build with it. The NARS is really nice and buildable - it covers up my redness remarkably and I am able to build on my blemishes without it looking cakey or feeling heavy. It is very light weight also. The only thing I would caution on is if you are looking for more "glowy/dewy skin" or not. I feel like the LM is intended to be more natural looking, while the NARS gives your skin a really nice glow - not a shine, but a glow. Don't get me wrong, the NARS looks natural, but it does give your complexion a "glow", while the LM just kind of looks blah. I highly recommend the NARS!

Hey there, I wear Tahoe as well and Golden in BB and #170 in MUFE. I found that Cuba works very well with my tone. I tried the other shade suggested below and found it had cooler undertones (more reddish orange). As the Cuba had more of a golden warmer tone. But the best way to know for sure it so try in person.....
