No, I would not buy this again, but I so want to! Let me explain... this is no doubt the BEST foundation I've used. I gave it a 4 lippie though because it is NOT good for acne prone skin. I...

Although I've strayed from this many times, I always come back to it when nothing else seems to work. For my Chinese coloring, sunny beige is a pretty close match. In the winter, I usually blend...

I really want to make this my HG it's an improvement over the finish of my NARS oil-free since it was satin instead of matte. I thought oil-free means it's safe for acne prone skin apparently not....

What a bummer that this made me break out. The color was great, the packaging awesome but the coverage was minimal AND caused me to break out. I wouldn't get this again for the cost.

I've used this foundation for a few years now, and when teamed with the primer, I've not found another to better it. You can apply a thin layer, or build up as needed, and on my skin it never...

I'm becoming a real fan of Laura Mercier's Foundation line! This formula is easy to apply, very smooth and provides very adequate coverage. It's not too thick and feels very nice on the skin. A...

For as liquidy as this looks coming out of its pump bottle, it provides amazing coverage. I layer it on for blemishes/pimples and it works as a concealer in a pinch quite nicely. While it's oil...

I really like this stuff. I have dry skin so at first I was a little worried that the oil free would dry out my skin, but it's actually really nice on my skin, especially over LM Primer-Hydrating....

I find that it is a little bit thick to apply and that you need to blend it carefully to get a nice and natural result (a soft mat finish). If I apply it on top of my oil free moisturizer...

This stuff is completely disgusting. I asked for a sample of it at sephora after my MAC ran out and I was searching for a foundation that was healthier for my skin and not quite so heavy. I regret...

It takes a bit of practice to apply this but you get used to it. I don't use LM's sponges just because i'm cheap and also, I would rather use sponges I can throw away after a week to prevent...
