"Laura Mercier's tinted SPF is so pretty, so sheer, so lightweight. You can use the full two and a half finger lengths to cover your whole face and neck. They have them in a variety of different tones so nobody is excluded from the game. I really do like Laura Mercier's tinted SPF. They just came up with their natural skin illuminator which has a little bit of pearl so it gives a little bit of the glow that the Glow Screen does."

"This is the foundation that went viral. I like it, I don't love it, but I like it. My problem with Laura Mercier is that it doesn't seem like she has a good shade for me, the shades might be a little more saturated, my skin is desaturated, it's got a little bit of olive in it and a little bit of gray in it, so I'm going to skip it, but I know a lot of people do really like Laura Mercier's complexion products."
