Make-up: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser + a bonus 'treat'

So as I mentioned in my summer face post (here) I was on the look out for a tinted moisturiser to use in the summer months. And I have found it (though to be honest, I knew I wanted this one all along!). I got the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Nude, the oil free version, and so far it has been really great.

The coverage is surprisingly good considering it is a tinted moisturiser, with one application I would liken the coverage to a light foundation and with another layer it looks light-medium. As I have problems with leaving the house with no make-up this is great for me. It gives a really good base so that, if you fancy it, you can apply your blusher and bronzer on top.

The fact it is oil free means it looks more matte than I was expecting (in a good way), this is helpful as in the summer my face tends to get a little more shiny than normal. What I think is the best about this product is how long wearing it is, it pretty much lasts all day with the use of just a tiny bit of setting powder.

So I guess it is pretty obvious that I really like this product, I'm hoping it is the start of me not being so crazy about coverage when it comes to foundation. I hope to just use my higher coverage foundations on really rough days and special occasions..well that's the plan anyway. We'll see how it goes!

Now for a little extra something-something. A youtube video! Please be kind, I have never done one before - but it looked really fun so I thought why not.

What shade did you get out of interest? I was thinking about the Nars one but this looks good too! Will watch your video when I'm back home with my laptop later! xo

I'm so torn between this and nars! I do like a dewy finish but I had a reaction to sheer glow which makes me think this might be better for me x

I haven't tried the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer but I hear everyone loves it. I think you did great for you first YouTube video I haven't done any myself I'm a bit too shy. You should definitely continue with them :) As for editing I think windows movie maker is a basic one unless you run on a MAC then they might have something else.

Ahhh, I recently gave this away to my mom! I had such a love/hate relationship with it. I recently got the NARS tinted moisturiser and so far, I love it so much! It's brilliant!!
