After looking at the swatch that compares MAC TM in Medium to Laura Mercier TM in Nude, I will be purchasing Medium Dark. I will get a sample of Medium and Medium Dark first before committing myself to the full size. And since it is a permanent product, I will wait till maybe next summer to buy it.

Honestly, I have sample of both medium and medium dark (unless the MA labelled them wrong and I actually have light and medium?!) and both work. But at this moment with a slight bit of colour from the sun (and i mean slight because it's been a crap summer here in TO), I am happy with medium dark. But i'm inclined to think medium will work better come winter.

The differences between each shade is so little that I can do both Med. Dark and Dark (i am NC40)...I'll be picking up Med. Dark only bc I want to wear it year round on my lazy days. If i do get a tan I'll just add bronzer

I'm a NW20 (with a very pale neck) and picked Light over medium. Both would work though, they're so sheer. I liked that the Light evened out the redness in my cheeks, I have a bit of Rosacea and I was able to wear blush, which I often don't need.
These are weird tinted moisturizers! I always use a tinted moisturizer, I don't like foundation. I tend to use Bobbi Brown or Clinique or LM... which are all very similar in texture...
But, my MAC tinted moisturizer feels so different! It's so dry! That may be good in hot humid, weather but I still am not sure if I actually like it. It almost bothers me in the way it makes my face feel.

has anyone tried the full of grace suntint on their lips? The color looks so gorgeous in the swatches, and although I know these are super sheer, I'm still holding out some hope that maybe this one shows some color on...

Thanks then it may be good on my oily skin, since I already find Clinique's and BB's oily, but I do like Clinique's coverage, it gave me more coverage than F&B!!

I finally got my 3 pink tints - & they are all going back. So very disappointed. I loved the color of Full of Grace in the store, but it had no color affect on my lips at all.
Huge disappointment as I was so excited for these.
Sticking with the lovely Tendertones!

Sorry, I read this after I posted. Nope, it has very very little to no color on my lips. In the store, I thought it would have enough color, but no. I do have fairly pigmented lips - but this was ridiculous.
What a shame because this was such a pretty color.

That's great! I really love this stuff. I hope it continues to work out for you.
" It just evens out my skin tone a bit and leaves a satin to slightly dewey finish"
^yep, that's exactly how it is on me too

Ehh! I checked this out at my MAC counter. I was not impressed with the lip balms at all. I thought they would be tendertones in tube-form. But it was not. I thought the colors were cute when swatched, however they were all pretty much clear when I applied them to my lips. I didn't think it was worth it to pay $14 for a lip balm. So I ended up passing on them. I;ll stick to my tendertones and cheap-o Carmex lip balm thank you!
I also had high hopes for the TM's. I took home a sample of Medium Dark (I'm normally an NC42 but now an NC45 in the SUmmer), But it was very sheer. I need more coverage than this provided. So I ended up passing.
I'm glad there is a collection I can skip!

I'll take your advice and get the tendertones instead. I was so tempted to get my first one at my CCO but didn't get it and I will this time! For the Studio Tint Moisturizer, I'll give it a try since my skin gets oily at work whenever I'm around anything that involves heat (i.e oven and toaster oven).

Today was my 3rd day using the Moisture Tint, I am extremely happy with this product.
I find it to be a very moisturizing and light version of Studio Sculpt that still provides what I would call light/medium coverage. The finish is very pretty on its own, you do not look shiny, just a very natural 'glow'.
The product also responds well to being dusted over with any powder you choose, I have tried Studio Select over one day and it looked fine and not chalky just gave a more matte look, also used MSFs with great results.
This will be my HG foundation for the rest of summer (as it is so beautifully buildable if you need it), we are experiencing a severe heat wave here and heavy make-up is intolerable at the moment.

Also as a note I do use a light regular moisturizer under that does not contain sunscreen first (so you don't get too much sunscreen on your face and then products do not sit well) [at the moment using Vichy Myokine] and I am applying the TM with a 187 by stipling just like a regular foundation.
Still do the regular concealer, eye prep, etc. so I am using the TM just like a foundation.
I work in an office so my makeup is expected to be professional and this is an extremely appropriate product so you can avoid summer cake face at work.

I just recieved my Studio Moisture Tint in Medium and did a quick swatch for everyone, with a couple other Tinted Moisturizers and my foundations.
Feel free to re-post in the swatch thread, I don't have time, at the moment.
