TM Recs

[ejpint]

I just ran out of my tinted moisturizer, and need a rec for a new one.
I've used Laura Mercier oil-free, and like it fine, and also UD's TM. It was an older bottle, so maybe their formula has changed, but it wasn't my favorite.
I need something that is good with oily or combination skin, but that still does a good job of adding moisture.
Suggestions?

NARS TM is my favorite right now. Its light, but still moisturizers. More skin like on me than LM TM which came off to glowly on me for whatever reason.

Kiehls is also quite good, but NARS has surpassed it as my favorite.

OK, I thought I remembered a few people saying they liked NARS, but I couldn't remember for sure when shopping Sephora last night.
Anyone try the Tarte TM?

I have the Tarte tm and like it ok but much prefer using Origin's VitaZing. Vitazing is more moisterizing and lighter feeling.

I tried the NARS and thought that it was smooth and light. I didn't wear it all day though, so I can't attest to the staying power.

I have dry skin so I am no help, but I love Vitazing.

I love Vitazing as more of a primer - it looks nice under my TM. Alone, it leaves me looking a bit shiny and doesn't do much for coverage.

I agree. I use it under BB cream, not TM though.
There have been times I just set Vitazing with powder to go to the grocery store on the weekend or something, but the majority of the time it is not enough for me.

That said, I like the Skin 79 BB cream. I have tried both the orange and pink tubes and have been pleased.

I tried the NARS TM at Sephora and the lightest shade was not light enough and was too yellow for me.

I am pretty pale, pink undertones, don't really have to worry about dryness this time of year.

This is good to know. I thought the same thing when I played with the NARS sample last night. I'm also extremely fair and have cool/rosy undertones. I have trouble with a lot of colors being too yellow on me.

She is my TM twin. I also love the Nars. It's very lightweight, but it has good coverage. It looks really yellow in the tube, but when applied, the yellow blends and balances out the redness in my face.

I've been using just Vitazing for the past month.

I don't know why I'm not with the vitazing program this summer.

I do often wear something over it when my skin is bad but its always better in the summer. So just wearing a powder over it lately.

If you dont care about price, I love Givenchy's foundation. Not a TM but its lightweight.

I had the same problem of a too-yellow shade with MUFE foundation around this time last year. I really really wanted to like them, I just didn't think they looked "right". For ~$40, I want it to match.

Does Clinique have a TM? My usual foundation is the Perfectly Real in Shade P02 but I am not sure if all their shades are coded the same, kwim?

I forgot about Jouer. Love it! I bought mine in the summer so it was too dark all year, but I should be able to wear it now.
