The Bestselling Base We Rely On For A Fresh, Winter Glow
THE NEW AND IMPROVED FORMULA
Cold weather, central heating and late nights all take a toll on your skin at this time of year, and if you’re looking to restore your natural radiance, Laura Mercier has you covered. Since 1996, the brand’s award-winning tinted moisturiser has reigned supreme, loved by editors and pro artists alike for its dewy, second-skin finish. When a product reaches cult status, tweaking the formula is always a delicate task. Thankfully, Laura Mercier has kept long-time loyal fans happy but also gained some fresh converts with its new-and-improved base.
The original was borne out of professional necessity, created by Provence-born make-up artist Laura Mercier herself as a sheerer, more natural-looking alternative to the full-coverage foundations that dominated the mid-90s. Groundbreaking at the time, that minimalist, breathable base remains a bestseller three decades later.
Earlier this year, the brand unveiled the updated Tinted Moisturiser Natural Dewy SPF 30 – and it doesn’t disappoint. Delivering the same much-loved natural-dewy finish as before, the formula now goes a step further, containing 88% skincare ingredients that work hard beneath the surface. Raspberry leaf extract boosts moisture retention, while upcycled black grape pomace helps strengthen the skin’s barrier and softens the appearance of fine lines. A prebiotic complex adds another layer of support, keeping your skin balanced, calm and resilient throughout the day. The result is the same flattering, sheer-to-light coverage, now with longer wear – up to 16 hours – and extra comfort.**

WHO IT'S FOR
This works on all skin types but is especially well-suited to those prone to dullness or dehydration wanting a no-fuss, flattering veil of colour. Available in 20 shades, it’s hydrating enough to keep your skin comfortable all day but still forgiving enough so it doesn’t cling to dry patches or sit in fine lines.
THE BEST WAY TO USE IT
One of the easiest ways to apply it is like a normal moisturiser. The warmth of your fingertips helps the formula melt into the skin, creating an almost undetectable, second-skin effect. For more control, try a buffing brush. Work from the centre of the face outwards, adding a layer of concealer over the top in the areas – such as under the eyes and around the nose – that might need some extra coverage.

LASTLY, WHAT FANS SAY...
“I really like this tinted moisturiser, it’s now one of my repeat buys. It gives my skin that dewy, glassy effect, without it looking too shiny. I love that it contains SPF 30 – an absolute must – but still has a nice texture. The colour is a great match for me too.”
“This is a lovely, subtle product for no make-up days, leaving behind a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage. It blurs imperfections and blends well with other skincare products. A little goes a long way, so it’s a good price point and a firm favourite for my mature skin.”
“A great alternative to foundation on more casual days, this gives me a lovely, lightweight, dewy finish and looks very natural while still giving good coverage. The added SPF is a bonus, as is the vast choice of shades, so you can find your perfect match. I will definitely be buying again.”
“The original used to be my go-to for lighter coverage so I picked up a sample in store to test this latest version. I was pleasantly surprised at the coverage and finish and just needed a little concealer around my nose and under my eyes to even things out. Great for a day-to-day ‘no make-up make-up’ look.”***
