I wear make-up everyday but not a lot of it. My morning routine is eyeliner, eyeshadow and blush. On rare occasion I'll add some tinted lip gloss. It takes just a few minutes. Over the years, I've bought foundation--liquid or powder--on many occasions. I usually try it a few times then stop wearing it. I hate the feeling of having anything on my face and I could always feel even very light foundations.
Over the past month or so, however, my skin has really changed. I've noticed a lot of red blotchiness around my nose and on my chin. My usual "normal" or even "oily" areas have gotten very, very dry. I knew I needed something to even out my skin tone.
I headed over to Sephora on my recent bra-shopping excursion to look for a very light-weight tinted moisturizer. The very helpful saleswoman steered me toward Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (shade Nude for me) and I instantly loved it. The shade was perfect--it blended in flawlessly and it was truly so lightweight that I couldn't feel it.
That was a week ago and I've worn it every single day. (That's definitely a record for me!) It makes me feel so much more put together and only takes moments to apply.
Disclosure: As with all my Favorite Things Friday, this is just a product I love and want to tell you about. It was bought with my own hard-earned dollars, none of which are earned through blogging as I don't have ads.

I rarely wear makeup, not out of any sort of feminist-inspired stance, but out of laziness and inexperience. :)
ReplyDeleteI did want to say that I like your take-that-FTC statement at the end!
I'm going through a no-makeup (well, definitely always concealer under my eyes - but otherwise no foundation) phrase right now and need something easy to even things out. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep my eye out for this brand.
