It has multivitamins and peptides. Great for anti-aging!

Do you know how the colors run on Vincent Longo's TM? I have his Healthy Fluid Foundation in Light Beige #3... would TM #3 work?

Also, check out Bath and BodyWorks website-- they're selling it for $19 (vs Sephora's $26.60). As of now, they have 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 listed.

I like Px Custom Blend TM - It actually has decent coverage for a TM, but it is $42 I think, which is about what the LM TM is. Sometimes I swear I'm the only Px fan on this forum, lol.

I have combo skin. And I am pretty sure it is $40 something. The foundation is in the $60 range though.

Without a doubt Bobbi Brown's TM. I lived in it this summer. It's brilliant and it comes in a wide range of shades (I'm C40, WOC). If I had more time in the morning I think this would be my HG for everydayness... but I think that about most BB foundations

Clarins Hydra-Care Tinted Moisturiser is very good. I have just finished using Chanel Hydramax which is okay but not as good as Clarins.

I like Benefits TM a lot. Since they came out with the light kind, the original is WAY too dark. I just put it on with a light hand and powder over the top. It really gives the skin the dewy look (maybe just a bit TOO dewy on some skin types)

If you don't use an antioxidant serum, Estee Lauder DayWear TM has antioxidants, SPF 15, and provides a natural coverage. I don't like its cucumber scent but I love its antioxidant protection & natural coverage!

Does anyone use or know of a TM that is good for sensitive skin? TIA

I love Laura Mercier.

But, damn its expensive is Aus. Got anything similar.?

 

[lainz]

i absolutely LOVE Chanel's tinted moisturizer...and it smells like heaven.

unfortunately, its $55

dermalogica...I don't use foundation on myself so I use Dermalogica's TM year 'round and I love it. I have oily skin too and its light weight, but does give some coverage....It runs around $30

 

[ladyJ]

Has anyone tried Bobbi Brown or Shiseido TM? I saw the reviews on MUA but I want to know if any of you girls like them.

 

[hwilson18]

I had a sample of Bobbi Brown from a friend who works there...IMO it was heavier than most and it did not agree with my oily skin. I'm also used to a sheer TM though so I wasn't really fond of it, but it covered well...

I was using Stila's original TM, but I just bought the new Stila collection from Sephora ($45, great deal for all you get!) and it came with a sample of the Illuminating TM and I am really, really loving it!! It is lighter than the original in texture and goes on more easily, plus it feels lighter on the skin. Gives skin a healthy glow without being sparkley at all. It's hasn't bothered my skin, which is fairly sensitive.

If you get a chance to go to Sephora I would say at least try it out. I look forward to putting it on everyday, and I can't say I've ever felt that way about a TM before.

A really good friend of mine recommended Smashbox's Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer in SPF 15. It is her HG TM. It's a bit on the pricey side at a rounded $30 -- but she swears by it.

I'd try to see if you can get a sample of it or get a mini-makeover at your local Sephora, department store beauty counter, or Ulta.

Good LUCK

I, too, tried a sample of Stila's Illuminating TM. It was lovely and provided a soft luminosity with no apparent glitter. I'm still debating whether I should get the normal Stila TM or the illuminating one.

I'm also considering the Smashbox TM, Sheer Focus. Any opinions?

I really, REALLY love Perfekt's skin perfecting foundation. It's really lightweight, like a TM, and it made a HUGE difference in the look of my skin. I hardly notice my pores at all while wearing this and it makes my skin look like dewy perfection (in a good way, not a sweaty, swampy way)

Oh, gosh! You've gotten so many replies that I can't read them all! At a glance, I see several people mentioning Laura Mercier. Yes, yes, yes! Her Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 is my one-and-only summer face product (in Porcelain for me but she makes many realistic, translucent shades). I use Clindamycin gel, a topical, prescription-only acne preventive medication, so I know the worries. No worries about that with Laura Mercier. (I've read that she had acne herself in her teens and so is very conscious of that issue.)
