This was my first purchase from Laura Mercier. I need to make it clear that this foundation probably isn't for everyone; first of all, it's a cream formula which some people don't like. This is what I would call a fantastic winter foundation for people with combo or dry skin as its soooo moisturizing, it makes your skin feel super soft and lovely, and is one of only a few foundations that I have actually seen benefit my skin. However, if you have an oily complexion I really would not recommend this product and would suggest something less moisturizing and in a liquid or powder format. This is also a product you need to set with a powder if you plan on wearing it for a long period of time as I find it can make you shiny and doesn't dry-down if you don't use a setting powder. You also probably don't want to apply this product with a brush, I would opt. for a sponge or a beauty blender instead as the brush would probably cause streaking.
Overall, for me this product is fantastic, it makes my skin not only look but FEEL better and provides the coverage and finish that I like. BUT this product is not for everyone so I would recommend trying it on in the store before you buy it and talk to the sales person to see if it's something that would work well with your skin, since it has quite a high price. In the US it's $50 but here in Canada it's $62 and rounds out to about $70 after tax. Keep in mind that a very small amount goes a long way so it will last a long time, which makes the price a little less painful, but like I said, if you're going to make the investment, take the time and find out if this product is right for you. I love it!
