For a long time to me foundation has meant completely getting rid of flaws, imperfections and creating a new base. I have a lot of dark areas on my face which is something I developed from adult acne. So normally I would reach for a foundation that gives me a medium/full coverage and then cover-up with concealer and touch-up with powder. Over the past nine months I have really invested my time (and money) on a skincare routine and feel my skin has really improved and lately have been thinking that I could get away with wearing a lighter foundation and just touching up on my imperfections with concealer.
I mentioned in a previous post that I visited the Laura Mercier counter, where I was originally looking for their Silk Crème foundation, but was kindly introduced to their Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20 Oil Free in Walnut. Its described as "...the perfect blend of skincare and makeup...", this give my skin a really light coverage, almost even coverage and any imperfections I cover up with concealer. Throughout the day my skin looks normal and stays oil-free for at least 8 hours, which is great cause this means my face doesn't start to slide off and I don't feel like I am wearing a mask towards the end of the day. And a new plus + its got an SPF20 which helps protect my skin form the sun, this is something I have never really been to concerned with, but in my old age any anti-ageing benefits are good to me.
But seriously I really like this, I love the way skin still feels like my skin and I still look really natural. I think this is going to become a staple in my make-up bag and I would definitely recommend.
Are there any Laura Mercier Foundations you like or is there another tinted moisturiser you would recommend.
