Another winner from Merle Norman! To me this could be considered a tinted moisturizer or a light foundation. I have the color L20, and wear MAC NC15-20 for comparison. The shade is an ivory with...

I actually went to MN for the pressed powder fdn, but ended up buying this because I was worried the powder would dry out my cheek area too much. Me: dry/combo skin, rosacea, very fair skin,...

Love this. After trying several others, this works best for me both in color-match and consistency. The closest I had gotten (through all price ranges) had been Neutragena. The MN Luxiva is a...

I really like this TM. It's not oily and gives a look of freshness to my skin. The color really blends well too. It also has decent coverage for a TM. This is the best I've tried so far.

I have been on the tinted moisturizer hunt now for about a year. I've tried LM, Bobbi Brown, Stila, Paula's Choice, Cover Girl, and Revlon Beyond Natural foundation, just to mention a few. After...

I've used tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier but the things I didn't like was it made my face extremely oily (I have the oil-free) throughout the day. Also it feels thick and doesn't give a...

Great tinted moisturizer! Not oily at all. Gives a little more than what I'd call sheer coverage alone and when worn under the mineral foundation it provides better coverage than most traditional...

Very nice tinted moisurizer. Does not look greasy at all. I use before the MN mineral makeup, that I love too.

Another fabulous product by Merle Norman! I am an oily girl who wants a matte look, without cakey foundation. This really gets close to perfect -- it is much, much less "dewy" than LM Tinted...

Tried the sample, too much like a foundation for me.

I am pretty much done with MN foundations-have been working my way through them lately b/c of the reviews I've read(and they will only exchange not refund). The lightest color was simply to dark...

This is perfect for the summer! It gives good coverage and is light and has sunscreen. It goes on smooth and blends easily. The only downside is its kinda expensive for a tinted moisturizer. EDIT:...

This is a wonderful tinted moisturizer. It offers just enough coverage but its not so thick where your face looks too makeuppy or cakey. It really seemed to brighten my face ( I have dark...

I love this! I have sensative/combination skin and don't usually use a moisurizer during the day. Unfortunately we I get older, it's becoming apparent that I need to use something. I told the MN...

Not a favorite. The color selection leaves much to be desired. When I was really tan and as dark as I'll ever be in my life the Tan shade worked, but that was only briefly. I agree with another...
