For all of you who responded to my thread from yesterday regarding powder foundation, thanks!

So, I'd like to just be able to get away with wearing a tinted moisturizer and the Laura Mercier loose mineral powder foundation that I ordered yesterday. I have combo skin (oily in t-zone with some random dry patches) and I can be acne prone. I don't like using anything with salicylic.

What are your favorite tinted moisturizers? And would I put a tinted moisturizer on as an extra layer over my Philosophy Miracle Worker? Or would I apply it on its own?

Laura Mercier has a wonderful tinted moisturizer.

I agree. My absolute favorite.

To answer your question about applying an additional moisturizer with a tinted moisturizer, I would say no (for my skin). I find LM's tinted moisturizer to be moisturizing enough for my skin. You could use your Philosophy's MW at night or add during the day if you feel your skin needs it.

There are two I like- Perricone's No Foundation foundation and IT CC cream. They both also have SPF built in. Both of these are also muli taskers and have skin care treatments in them also so you could use them alone and have all your bases covered or either also layers nicely over other skin care serums etc.

I agree - Laura Mercier is the best out of all I've tried !!

I use IT CC Cream in light. I noticed some small capillaries broken on my face this morning and when I used the IT cream, voila ! Flawless finish!! Love it.

Laura's Tinted Moisturizer is a good option. With combination skin, you may prefer her oil-free version best. Not because of it's oil-free formula, but rather because it's lighter in texture than the regular and illuminating.

If for some reason you don't want to use hers, I really like Josie Maran's. I have combination skin and have no problem using Josie's although it is based with argan oil.

Thanks, all! I received IT CC cream yesterday. I think that it is awful all around: color match is way off, and it's super thick. I washed it off with Purity and it still didn't come off! That's going right back!

I'm going to Nordstrom this weekend, so I think I'll try the Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer.
