As a full-fledged make-up "junkie" I can honestly say that this is the one bottle I come back for over and over again. I like to try the latest and greatest from many different companies, but this is my staple. This foundation is the PERFECT blend of texture, coverage, age-defying, color correcting, non pore-clogging and moisturizing miracle in a bottle. Why does it seem to be sold out everywhere? Ms. Mercier word on the street says you are discontinuing and possibly re-formulating this...please tell me the first part isn't true!!!!

A Winner
PostedDecember 9, 2011
Attributes: Mistake-proof Application
I have been using what is considered the "Best of" for oil free foundation for the last 5 years, even though I don't like the company or really even the foundation - but I wasn't allergic so I just stuck with it. I decided to try Mercier's base as I like other products by her as well as the company itself. I was immediately impressed! Very good coverage but not mask like. Looks very smooth and polished without looking fake. Feels comfortable and you can retouch easily. One coat was all I needed. Did not settle into lines either. As for a color match I am glad I went into the department store for help. I thought I was more yellow but it turns out I am pink and the Blush Ivory was perfect. Today I went outside in the sunlight so my mother could see and compare and tell me if it was truly better than the old "Best of." She said it is phenomenally better. She said it looked smooth and natural. So we have a winner! I knew Mercier wouldn't disappoint - makeup artists just know what works. People frequently ask me what makeup I wear - I can now proudly say Laurie Mercier! A company I respect whose products and services represent "me" better than the previous "Best of" ever did.

Awesome Foundation
PostedJuly 18, 2011
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily
I have always used the tinted moisturizer for years, but wanted to have more coverage with my foundation for nights out and attending parties or what not. The LM makeup artist I worked with suggested this foundation. I was hesitant at first, because when I think of liquid foundation, I think of girls with caked-on makeup and I really am NOT going for that look. I voiced my concerns, but the makeup artist said she wanted me to try this on and that she can adjust how heavy of a coverage she applies on my face. She was absolutely right! The completed look was flawless (she did show me how to apply the flawless face look too). My skin looked incredibly smooth, the makeup did not feel heavy at all, and it lasted throughout the entire day! I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a full-coverage foundation.

I absolutely love this foundation. I have very sensitive acne prone skin. Iv'e never had a breakout wearing this foundation, Never! Iv'e even fell asleep with it on a couple of times. The coverage is amazing, and it actually improved my complexion! The only downside is that it does have a tendency to rub off on clothes. But, nothing that a good setting powder cant fix! I will repurchase this product over and over again.

Glad there is no SPF!!
PostedJune 5, 2011
Attributes: Effective, does not cause break-outs, spf-free!!
For those of us with super sensitive skin, Laura Mercier is our best friend! We are super sensitive to most sunscreens, and they break us out without warning. Only sunscreen most sensitive skin people can use is zinc oxide only. I personally have reactions to all chemical sunscreens and titanium dioxide. So I have managed to find three sunscreens with zinc only that wear beautifully under this makeup. And I look great! My only fault with this makeup and I wear walnut, is that I wish there was more yellow in it. I am caramel with yellow undertones, and this makeup can make me look orange sometimes. But the fact that it doesn't break me out, I can overlook that!!

Very good foundation and no spf
PostedApril 18, 2011
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, matte
My skin is oily so this works well for my skin. It does not make my skin break out and it is great to use in the summer when the weather is hot and humid like in Houston. It gives a great matte finish. The downside is there is no SPF so if you're looking for a foundation to wear in the summer with SPF this is not it. I do find it a little difficult to apply in the winter too as it does not seem to blend easily.

Great coverage
PostedApril 16, 2011
Attributes: Effective
Smooth this foundation with a damp sponge for that flawless look. Will streak if you don't. Lasts a full 12 hour shift without retouching & very little concealer is needed when set with a powder. I do wish this product had a more diverse color range. Please add Bisque for us women who are a bit darker then warm ivory & lighter then sunny beige as you did in the tinted moisturizer. This foundation is very pigmented.

Wonderful Foundation
PostedApril 16, 2011
Attributes: Mistake-proof Application, Effective, Cleans Easily
This foundation offers great coverage and wearability while allowing skin to breathe. I have acne-prone skin, and this never makes me break out. I keep two or three bottles on hand (my standard shade and then one shade lighter and one darker) to blend depending on how tan or pale I am each season. Love it!

Fabulous Foundation
PostedApril 16, 2011
Attributes: Effective
I bought this in blush ivory after having it matched to my skin tone by a makeup artist at a high end salon. I cannot believe how long it lasts, and I love the light coverage. The best part is the buildable nature of the foundation where I use more over the mild rosacea on my cheeks. It creates the perfect look.

Attributes: Mistake-proof Application, Effective, Cleans Easily, lighweight
I have been wearing foundation for nearly 30 years and have finally found the one! Sunny Beige oil free foundation is an EXCELLENT foundation that blends well and looks natural. I use the primer, foundation, and setting powder every morning. Mid day, I use Laura Mercier Secret Finish - which is EXCELLENT for absorbing mid day oil and making me look clean and refreshed. I have tried many products, but this is the one that is worth the money! Foundation is so light that it doesn't feel like I am wearing make-up. I LOVE this product!

Best Foundation
PostedOctober 8, 2010
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily
I am currently pregnant and have experienced very sensitive, breakout prone skin. I've tried every powder, foundation & concealer imaginable and NOTHING has given me the super natural, flawless coverage like this foundation. It is layerable so I can build it as I need it depending on my skin. It NEVER looks cake-y and has a very smooth, hydrated appearance. That being said, it doesn't get oily or shiny at all throughout the day. I used to have to reapply mineral powder makeup at least 2 x per day to keep my face looking clean and fresh....I can go all day long in any kind of weather without this wearing off. The best part is, it's got great coverage while looking REALLY natural. The product was highly recommended to me by someone with very different skin than my own...just to show how well it works on all skin types / complexions. The secret camoflauge concealer is an absolute must as well....for those days when you need to focus on a spot or two. The two products work really well together. Bravo!

I am a make-up junkie and have tried every product out there...literally. After fighting breakout after breakout I went to the Laura Mercier counter and was rescued. She introduced this to me and I fell in love. The coverage is amazing and yet buildable and last all day. My complexion immediately cleared up and have not experienced any more problems. I get compliments on my complexion and make up!! I am addicted to all of Laura Mercier's products everything is exceptional!!

this foundation is very densely pigmented, a little goes a long way. one bottle has lasted me 5 years. it really is great in the summer where you want to minimize shine and redness, however i find in the winter it's drying and i have to switch to the tinted moisturizer. i wish it had spf in it.

Long lasting with a great finish
PostedFebruary 27, 2010
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily
I always keep coming back to this foundation. I was using the mineral foundation for over a year and developed an allergy, so I started looking for foundation again. Ater several misfires, I decided to try oil-free again, even though I originally stopped using it because it made my feel dry.
To combat the dryness, I mix 50% procelain oil-free with 50% nude tinted moisturizer for a perfect match to my winter skin tone. Not only does it improve the feel and finish, it also makes the product go on much easier. I am using a slightly damp brush to apply quicky, follow by a quick pat of Laura's sponges to blend way any brush lines. After dusting with translucent setting powder, it lasts all day long. and my t-zone only gets a little shiny mid-day.
It doesn't not rub off on my phone or pool into facial pores or creases. The color stays true even after a 12 hour day. Very happy I came back to this foundation!
