| The dewiness of this product does not come out that well in the pictures above but believe me I'm glowing away, subtly of course. |
So recently I've been addicted to skin care products and make up, I think it's because fashion is pretty much out of the question with a huge bump, and as my skin is blemish free for once I have become a bit of a beauty junkie.
Anyway, on my quest for perfect dewy skin, I decided on Laura Mercier's Illuminating Tinted Moisturiser. It has had pretty mixed reviews, some people think the illumination is too much. I used a friends a few years back and my face just looked like I had been showered in moon dust. However after seeing it used on A Model Recommends (probably the best ever website and blog) I thought I'd give it another shot. I'm not sure if the formulation has changed, or my skin has, but I LOVE it. As well as having and spf 20, this tinted moisturiser also contains shea butter to hydrate the skin, liquorice root and green tea to calm and soothe, and vitamins A, C and E to guard against free radical damage.
I bought the shade Natural Radiance, a medium beige for light to medium skin tones, which blends perfectly, and the glow is definitely not too much, on me anyway. I love the whole dewy look. It doesn't crease or make me look oily, and for everyday it is a perfect skin pick me up for a natural dewy look all from one product. The coverage is medium, and buildable. I would recommend using a primer first though, pores full of shimmer are not a good look. When I bought this from Space NK the Laura Mercier rep actually matched me up and told me to use a primer too and apply with fingers rather than a brush (I had to deal with a screaming child so didn't have time to ask why).
I actually bought this in preparation for post baby number two when I'm surviving on no sleep and my skin is looking dull and crap, so the added ingredients and promise of a one-minute glowing makeover product are enough for me.
If you are looking for light coverage and a dewy fresh looking skin I highly recommend this tinted moisturiser. You can buy it from Space NK here.

I think I may have to give that one a try.

DeleteLove Laura M, I do think their stuff is great quality.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done a hair tutorial on your blog? I love your light waves in the picture. How do you get them to look like that? (If you tell me it's completely natural I'll just have to lament how cruel Mother nature is in favouring one woman over another!)
thank you! No i haven't but can easily do one, will keep you posted xx
DeleteAh, this sounds fab - I have the new baby / no sleep awful skin so should be right up my street. Am totally checking it out! x
ReplyDeletehaha, exactly, thought id get organised in advance! xx
DeleteI've not seen this one before but it looks great, I would love to try this. I'm currently making my way in to the whole moisture/BB cream market and trying to find the right one. Will be giving this a go now! Great post x
ReplyDeleteI love Laura Mercier, for my wedding I decided no one would be able to do my make up exactly like I wanted them too, so in the end instead of paying for someone I decided to spend a lot of money and kitted myself out in Laura Mercier- I think I spent about £300 and my hubby was horrified but it was worth every penny!x
