Tinted Moisturizer

I was never blessed with beautiful skin. Thankfully, the older I got, the nicer it actually became. Or maybe it was that I started taking care of myself a little better, drinking more water, less alcohol, sleeping the recommended hours, eating fruits... you get the picture. Whatever it was, I didn't need that much coverage. Still needed something though, just to give a nice even finish and to continue that "taking care of myself" thing, putting sunscreen on my face daily.

A complimentary make-up session at an Aveda salon got tinted moisturizer on my face for the first time. It still gave some coverage, but (at least the way she put it on me) it felt heavy. And isn't the point of not using foundation to have your face feel like you have no make up on? Like a typical engineer - research brought me to Laura Mercier. They just came out with the oil-free version when I looked and picked up a tube in the sand color. It's a bit - about $35-40 - but lasts about three to four months. I put it on with my fingers and it goes on like lotion, but adds some color and most importantly, SPF20.
