Laura Mercier cream foundation

[donotsquandertime]

Just about to invest in new foundation, currently using Chanel vitaluminaire but want a change and find t a bit too glowy (use powder to take off shine) anyone tried the Laura Mercier and any good ?

I have creme smooth - comes in a jar. It is quite thick, really needs a primer. Good coverage, lasts for ages. Both on the face and in the pot. It is definitely creme and not liquid.

Thanks, I have heard it's quite thick, can I ask what primer you use with it?

I use a Maybelline one, because I got a free sample. I don't suppose it matters really. You have to be patient and leave it to dry though! Space NK suggest applying with a sponge (the foundation I mean). I don't - most of it would end up on the sponge. You get a little spatula if you're worried about finger contamination. The foundation is OK, I'll finish the jar, but I wouldn't buy again. Problem is, I bought this as a trade down from By Terry teint veloute which went up from £45 to £65 in the space of 1 bottle. Nothing comes close to the By Terry, but its been discontinued anyway. Before I buy another foundation, I'm going to haunt the beauty halls for free samples. its too much cash (& guilt) to make a mistake.

Can i watch with interest ....I currently use LM tinted moisturiser and when I m finished this tube am looking for something different and maybe a little more coverage.
