When it comes to tinted moisturiser, no name is more recognisable than Laura Mercier, who created the product category all the way back in 1996. Working on set and noticing the heavy makeup used, Laura revolutionised the market by introducing the first ever tinted moisturiser that combines foundation and hydrating cream to create a light-yet-perfecting complexion product.
This year, the brand introduces two new formulas and finishes to create an even better user experience, ushering in a new era for natural and flawless skin. Take your pick between the two, namely the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Natural Dewy SPF30 and the Tinted Moisturiser Blurred Matte SPF30, to create your chosen base look.
First up is the Natural Dewy version, which was developed over four years to ensure that is delivers on Laura’s philosophy: to enhance natural beauty without masking it. And so, the result is a foundation base that keeps the skin fresh, hydrated, and luminous through its sheer and buildable formula.
The formula, being in essence a skincare-makeup hybrid, is packed with powerhouse skincare ingredients including raspberry leaf extract that helps with moisture retention, upcycled black grape pomace that helps restore skin’s barrier and smooth fine lines over time, plus prebiotic complex that strengthens the skin’s microbiological barrier.
The formula also includes SPF30 for added sun protection, and its 16-hour sheer to light coverage lends well to reapplication throughout the day as well. The Natural Dewy tinted moisturiser is also proven to deliver 24 hours of hydration, that leaves a naturally dewy glow to skin all day long.
The second product is made for those who prefer a fresh matte look, as the Blurred Matte offers a formula upgrade meant to keep you shine-free. Also with a sheer-to-light coverage, its infused with French rose clay as the main mattifying ingredient which also soothes skin, Eijitsu rose extract which actively decreases the appearance of pores over, and white rose extract that helps to instantly balance sebum production as it works over time too.
For those with oily or combo-oily skin, you can count on 24-hour shine control and 16-hour skin-balancing hydration thanks to the 91% skincare-based formula to keep you matte without looking dry.
Here on our shores, you can discover these new formulas at the Laura Mercier Le Mercier Daily Café, a month-long collaborative pop-up happening now at Mid Valley Megamall. Le Mercier Daily Café is serving everyday essentials through a curated food and beverage menu, brought to you by the team at Bens Café.
