Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review – PROS + CONS

First of all, I am excited to share my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review (get it here)! I recently went to an event at the pop-up café by Laura Mercier called “Café Mercier” located in Venice Beach. It was such an ideal café for me since it felt like a trendy LA café that had a charming French touch.

The Laura Mercier pop-up event was for the launch of the new and improved tinted moisturizer. In contrast to the older tinted moisturizer, the new packaging has a nice sleek feel to it and shows the shade of the product.

           Before I get started on my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review, I must say I love the weightlessness. I felt comfortable with this product on all day. The product is infused with Tamarind Seed Extract to maintain moisture and prolongs hydration. The tinted moisturizer also contains Macadamia and Kukui seed oils to promote healthy skin by helping you skin’s fuctionality.

PROS & CONS

Next, is the pros and cons for the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review.

PROS:

• SPF 30 UVB/UVA
• Because it contains Antioxidant Vitamins C & E, it has added benefits
• Hydrating / Moisturizing
• Dewy & Natural Finish
• As a result of the added nut oils, it has a luminous glow
• Due to smooth application, it has a natural finish
• Non-greasy
• Because of the creamy texture, it blurs imperfections
• Weightless

CONS:

• As a result of very light coverage – not recommended if you have hyper pigmentation or acne
• Certainly not for individuals who have nut allergies – contains nut oil
• Because the shades are different from the previous formula, you cannot order the same shade as before.
• Due to its light coverage, it is not buildable
• Seems like it can get “tacky” if you have oily skin; too hydrating for oily skin

What I’m Wearing from Laura Mercier

First, for application, you can use a beauty sponge, but I prefer to use my fingers. Second, after applying about a “bean size” amount, I’ll pat my face with a beauty sponge to perfect the finish. Then, cover any pigmentation from previous acne with concealer. Finally, to set the tinted moisturizer, I used the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder using a powder brush

Product List:

• Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in “Almond” in 4C1
• Translucent Loose Setting Powder – Glow
• Flawless Fusion Concealer – Full Coverage in 3W
• Matte Bronzing Powder Soleil Bronzer 2
• Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion in “Sangria”

In conclusion, I highly recommend this new product! Finally, thank you for reading my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review! What are your thoughts about the new formula? Let me know below!
