Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation

GSPgirl · ‎01-03-2012

Can anyone tell me how they like Laura Mercier mineral foundation? Do you like it better than Bare Minerals? No matter what primer I use, BM wears off in mid afternoon. Thanks so much! Also, do the colors match your skin tone?

I tried it a year or so ago....the texture is wonderful; very silky. I just couldn't get the right color for my skin tone. If the color works for you, you might really like it. The texture is much better than BM.

Where is it sold? I've never seen it.

Sephora, Nordstrom, most better dept stores.

Thanks! I worry too about the right color. I am going to Nordstrom tomorrow to check it out.

I'm interested in responses as I'm on the same quest for a better mineral foundation and have heard great things about Laura Mercier's. I don't mean to hi-jack the thread, just hoping for more responses to the OP's question. Cool

I started with BM, & used it for years.

Then I tried the Mercier, & its a thousand times better! It has a much more creamy texture, & looks more natural than the BM. I have extremely problem-prone skin, & it didn't bother me in any way. Its the best mineral foundation that I've tried!

I may give this a try. Does anyone know what shade would be a match for light in Bare Escentuals?

I am medium skin-toned, so I can't help you. You could always call Laura Mercier & explain your skintone. There isn't much choice per skintone category.

Finding the PERFECT color in this can be a slight challenge. Some colors have a peachyness, others pink, & some are neutral.

But, it's a really great mineral foundation- love it.
