Laura Mercier vs Nars tinted moisturisers

[Plainandsimple]

I've been using Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser for several years and love it - good colour, doesn't sit in pores/lines etc, but am finding the coverage is a bit too sheer for me now - has anyone tried the Nars radiance tinted moisturiser & what do you think of it? And if you can suggest a shade for me (using Cameo in Laura M.) even better!

I use it and absolutely love it! I haven't tried the Laura mercier one though so can't compare. I bought it for going on holiday last year but now I wear it all the time. It's got really good coverage for a tinted moisturiser but feels so light on the skin. I only wear foundation now if I'm going out out which is a big change for me!

I actually found the Nars one even more sheer. I really like the LM one when it comes to a TM.

There is a Mac foundation in a dropper bottle that has buildable coverage but I find it similar in terms of lack of cakeiness to the LM.

I've worn the LM one for years and on a whim tried the Nars one a few months ago.

Found it awfully drying and unflattering; it sat in my pores and highlighted every single little line. It was also really drying.

Bobbi Brown May be a good alternative ?

Use findation.com to put in any colours of other foundations you use and it will match you to most of the other foundations available - amazing website!

I wear the no-oil LM tinted moisturiser. I find it goes on a bit denser than the ordinary LM one. It might be worth trying.

Thanks all! I found the oil-free LM too drying for my skin (despite having the usual oilier t-zone thing), so disappointed that the Nars is drying too. I've tried the Bare Minerals one - terrible! Patchy colour, sinks into pores & lines, oxidises - just awful (luckily it was from QVC so I can send it back for a refund :-) ). I'm currently using LM luminosity foundation for work but want something lighter for summer/weekends. Haven't looked at Bobbi Brown for years so will have a look - thankyou.

Tried Findation - 'Finland' is my NARS shade!

I wear moisturiser under my LM tinted moisturiser - sounds daft really but it’s not at all moisturising on its own, I don’t know why they call it that. It’s a sheer foundation really.

I wear moisturiser and primer under tinted moisturiser! No, I don't either - maybe its just to manage expectations of the coverage?

I have been moping all week at how haggard and patched my skin looks and today I wore the Nars TM out for lunch and can't believe how much fresher and glowy I look. I find it really does suit my mid 40s skin and hasn't settled in lines at all

If you find the oil free LM one too drying, try the LM radiance tinted moisturiser. It gives a beautiful glow and is more moisturising.
