We know many of you already use and love Tinted Moisturizer, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have questions about its formulation, its benefits, or how to apply it. Here, we answer all your most pressing questions…
Everything you need to know about Tinted Moisturizer
What is Tinted Moisturizer?
Essentially, Tinted Moisturizer bridges the gap between skincare and makeup. It delivers the hydrating, skin-nurturing ingredients you expect from skincare and the perfecting and concealing abilities of foundation.
What are the skincare benefits of Tinted Moisturizer?
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is available in two finishes: Natural Dewy and Blurred Matte. Both options ensure long-lasting hydration while visibly improving the skin’s texture and tone over time.
Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy is infused with an 88% skincare-based formula that provides 24+ hours of hydration, leaving the skin looking naturally plump and radiant. With sheer to light, buildable coverage, this formula enhances your natural complexion with a dewy finish while improving skin tone and texture over time. Macadamia and Kukui Seed Oils nourish the skin, while Tamarind Seed Extract helps retain moisture, and Vitamin C and E protect against environmental aggressors. Broad-spectrum SPF 30 provides essential UV protection.
Tinted Moisturizer Blurred Matte offers 24-hour shine control with a 91% skincare-based formula that provides sheer to light, buildable coverage. This formula instantly controls oil and reduces the appearance of pores while delivering 16-hour hydration to help balance the skin. Infused with Organic French Rock Samphire, it helps reduce sebum production over time, ensuring a smooth, blurred matte finish that remains comfortable and breathable throughout the day. SPF 30 protects the skin from harmful UV rays.
What kind of results can I expect from Tinted Moisturizer?
Both formulas are designed to deliver a naturally perfected look without feeling heavy on the skin. Natural Dewy enhances radiance and hydration, while Blurred Matte controls shine and minimizes pores. Each formula offers long-lasting hydration and skincare benefits, ensuring your complexion looks its best immediately and over time.
How to apply tinted moisturizer
The best way to apply tinted moisturizer is with your fingertips or a sponge. Since it’s makeup that also acts as skincare, you can apply it using your fingertips, just like your regular moisturizer. Blend well and reapply to any areas that need additional coverage, such as the sides of your nose.
If you prefer to use a sponge, we recommend the Flawless Finish Makeup Sponge because it hugs the contours of your face, making application easy. Dispense a small amount of Tinted Moisturizer onto the back of your hand and use the sponge to stipple and press the color onto your skin.
Should you use primer before or after Tinted Moisturizer?
Your primer should always be applied to the skin before any complexion products. This ensures your skin is prepped and ready for your tinted moisturizer. Try applying Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating before your tinted moisturizer. It’s silicone-free and ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin. It creates a nourishing, hydrating, and breathable base for your Tinted Moisturizer.
How to match tinted moisturizer?
Tinted Moisturizer is available in a range of shades across neutral, warm, and cool undertones, ensuring there is an option for every skin type and tone. As the formula is influenced by skincare, your shade should adapt to slight fluctuations in your skin tone throughout the seasons. If you need help finding your perfect shade, we suggest chatting with one of our artists in live Artist Chat Monday – Friday 9 AM – 5 PM EST or visiting your closest Laura Mercier counter, where our consultants would be happy to shade match your skin and introduce you to your perfect shade.
