Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer Natural Skin Illuminator SPF 25

I have dry skin and really appreciate the finish of this. It gives my complexion some life without settling into every dry area.

1W1 Porcelain works well with the warmer tone in my fair skin. I especially like it for everyday makeup because it doesn't look overly done.

2N1 Nude has been a great match for my light neutral skin. The coverage is sheer enough that it blends naturally instead of looking like a layer of foundation.

I don't wear foundation very often anymore, and this gives me exactly the amount of coverage I want. My skin still looks like skin, just a little more even and fresh.

This is what I reach for when I'm doing a five-minute makeup routine. I blend it in with my fingers, add a little blush and mascara, and I'm ready.

At 51, I've stopped enjoying heavy foundation on my skin. This is much more flattering for me because it evens things out while keeping the finish soft and natural.

My skin gets pretty dull during the winter, so the illuminating finish is a big plus for me. It makes me look more awake even when I'm definitely not.

1C0 Cameo works really nicely with my fair, cooler complexion. It doesn't turn orange on me, and I love the natural brightness it gives my skin.

I wore this to brunch thinking I'd come home and put on regular foundation before dinner. I ended up leaving it exactly as it was because my skin still looked great.

If you're expecting full coverage, this isn't that kind of product. I personally love the lighter look because my freckles still show and my complexion doesn't look masked.

3N1 Sand blends beautifully with my medium neutral complexion. I can apply it quickly without having to spend forever making sure there aren't obvious edges.

I've been trying to cut down the number of complexion products I use in the morning. Having light coverage, a fresh finish, and SPF 25 together makes this an easy choice.

My cheeks can look dry while my forehead gets a little shiny, and this works surprisingly well for both. I just use a touch of powder through my T-zone afterward.

2W1 Natural gives my light warm skin a really healthy-looking finish. It's become one of my favorite options when I want makeup but don't want foundation.

I took this on vacation and barely touched the heavier foundation I packed. It was so much easier to wear during the day and gave me enough coverage for dinners too.

My favorite thing about this is that it doesn't completely cover the natural variation in my skin. It just makes everything look a little smoother and more polished.

I bought this because I wanted to move away from the full-coverage look I've worn for years. It took me a few days to get used to seeing more of my natural skin, but now I love how fresh and effortless my makeup looks.

4C1 Almond has been working really well with my olive complexion. I was especially happy that the undertone looked natural once everything was blended in.

3W1 Bisque is a nice match for my medium warm complexion. I usually apply it with my hands like moisturizer, then blend around my hairline with a sponge.

I've been using this for work because I sit under terrible office lighting all day. Somehow my complexion still looks fresh instead of flat and dull.

Some illuminating complexion products make me look sparkly, which isn't what I want. This gives me more of a healthy radiance that looks like it's coming from my skin.

My mom asked what foundation I was wearing because she thought my skin looked really good. She was surprised when I told her it was just a tinted moisturizer.

4W1 Tawny blends nicely into my warmer olive skin and gives me the kind of finish I like for everyday wear. It looks polished without taking away my natural skin texture.

I've had trouble with tinted moisturizers disappearing by the middle of the day, but this wears nicely for the lighter coverage I'm looking for. A little setting powder around my nose helps it last even better.

On weekends, this is pretty much my entire base routine. I add concealer under my eyes and around my nose, but otherwise I let the tinted moisturizer do its thing.
