Laura Mercier Silk Cream Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation, Beige Ivory, 1 Fl Oz

I have red and irritated skin - oily t zone and easily irritated cheeks. I'm looking for a replacement to my favorite BB Cream that is now discontinued (Charmzone's Albatross). This formula just works perfectly on my 49 year old skin - it doesn't gather in my wrinkles, it doesn't contribute to my irritation, it feels light, and it is so luminous and skin like (not dewy - ewww!). It's so wonderful that I'm willing to put up with the fact that none of the colors are an exact match for me. Btw - I have tried many foundations (Chanel Les Beige and Vitalumiere, Laneige cushions, Missha BB Cream, Iope, Sulwhasoo cushion, Sum 37 cushions, Lancome cushions, Tarte tinted moisturizer, Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation, AHC, LM Candleglow, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, etc.) and LM Photo Finish is my absolute favorite.

Shake Well. That's the first rule, or it is watery. Then, I apply four dots upper and lower cheeks. I like the coverage. Goes on thick but I can smooth out to thin under my eyes and on my forehead. My old skin looks so much better with this on. It looks like it's natural, only I know it's not. Big difference! I use Beige-Ivory. Thought it would be too dark, but its just right. Matched the skin on my wrist. Use LM Primer, Hydrating underneath. Only problem (and I think this is with all makeup) is I can't find a solution to it's coming off when I wipe my nose or mouth, or rub against clothing. So I'm not blaming this product.

I love this makeup some people on different web sight complained they changed the formula but I have been buying this for 15 years yep it's been around that long and it is the same today as it was then and I love it! It is pricy but totally worth it it last me 6 months when the cheaper stuff you have to buy every 2-3 months plus my skin is super sensitive and LM doesn't use talcum in their products so really great for sensitive skin absolutely no break outs and my skin is never irritated.

you have to shake it or it will separate. I like this and the YSL touche eclat, i feel like this is more of a natural look.you can layer for more coverage.

I have been using this foundation for about 2 years now and have never had any problems with breakouts until recently. When I did research online this foundation was rated as the best foundation for acne prone skin but now I am not so sure. The positive is that if you have dry skin it provides great moisture without feeling greasy.
