'Lovely subtle product for no make-up days leaves a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage'
Whether for running errands or just giving skin a breather, the 'no makeup' look is a go-to for many. Tinted moisturiser is a great way to acheive natural-looking coverage - and now there's a new launch to help get the effortless vibe.
Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturiser Natural Dewy SPF 30 (£39, Space NK) is the latest addition to the brand's roster, with fans already singing its praises. One shopper said it leaves them with a 'healthy, natural-looking glow', while another claimed they'd already purchased a second tube.
The moisturiser helps to even out skin tone and deliver long-lasting coverage, while minimising the look of pores for a smoother, more refined finish. It's available in 15 shades, carefully developed to suit a broad spectrum of skin tones.
The formula itself has a wealth of skin-loving ingredients. Organic French rock samphire helps reduce sebum production, keeping shine at bay throughout the day.
Meanwhile, a white rose wine complex works to balance oil levels why eijitsu rose (a Japanese botanical extract) visibly tightens and blurs the appearance of pores. It also contains SPF30, making it ideal for everyday wear.
For those who prefer to shop around, another tinted SPF I rate highly is Trinny London's BFF. I raved about it non-stop last year for its hydrating feel and glow-boosting finish.
Otherwise, Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF is also a great option. When I tried it, it blended seamlessly into my skin and didn't have a cakey finish.
Back to Laura Mercier; it has had plenty of great reviews via Space NK. One shopper said: "Lovely subtle product for no make-up days leaves a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage.
"It blurs skin imperfections well and blends well with other primer or moisturiser products, longwearing, a little goes a long way, so good price point, a firm favourite for mature skin."
Another pleased reviewer said: "I tried the 15ml version of the Laura Mercier Natural Dewy Tinted Moisturiser in shade '3N Sand' and became obsessed with the product - it provides me with the perfect light coverage I am looking for. I have already repurchased the larger size of the product and will continue to repurchase in the future."
However, not everyone was as impressed. One buyer noted: "The packaging was underwhelming, and I found the lid a bit bothersome to use. I prefer a pump-style dispenser.
"Despite my skin being exfoliated, the product just sat on top of my skin; it didn't sink in. I found it had very few moisturising benefits or coverage so that I won't be using it again."
Saying that, someone else wrote: "It is a really lovely and light texture, but also has good coverage - I have imperfections and it helps cover that up. Since wearing it, I have received two compliments on my skin - and I've never had compliments on my complexion before. A great product."
