Tried and Tested: The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
With summer swiftly approaching and balmy days and sun-soaked evenings on the horizon, the search for a versatile, lightweight and long-lasting tinted moisturiser is officially on.
Finding the right pick is a tall order; it has to have just enough coverage without feeling heavy, offer shine control without looking lifeless and provide ample SPF protection to help shield your complexion from the rays.
Here at LOOKFANTASTIC HQ, our staff tested a popular contender: the new Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Blurred Matte SPF30. Boasting buildable coverage, a subtle wash of matte colour and that all-important SPF, this new arrival offers up to 16 hours of hydration for all-day nourishment.

Our Marketing Intern, Eleanor, told us:
A new summer staple in my makeup bag – this skin-loving formula blends effortlessly into my skin with just my fingertips and provides a natural coverage, perfect for everyday in the office or evening drinks with friends. My T-zone is normally quite oily, but this Blurred Matte Tinted Moisturiser keeps my base looking fresh and smooth all day, thanks to the oil-absorbing French rose clay and extract.
Merchandising Admin Assistant, Aditya, found that:
As someone with brown skin and oily pores, Laura Mercier’s Blurred Matte Tinted Moisturiser has truly been an impressive find. The shade match is seamless, the matte finish controls shine, and that tinted SPF 30 means I can top it up throughout the day easily. A must for protecting melanin-rich skin from sun damage, and gives the skin an airbrushed effect. This is a staple in my makeup bag now.
Our TikTok lead, Ellie, told us:
As a girl with dry skin, I tend to stay away from matte products; however, the Laura Mercier Blurred Matte Tinted Moisturiser gives the perfect blurred finish without compromising on hydration. The formula is super lightweight but lasts all day. I can’t get over how airbrushed my skin looks after using this, and my pores are almost invisible. My everyday go-to product now.
Our Creative Lead, Elle, told us:
This is really nice coverage for a moisturiser without feeling cakey. It's super lightweight and applies smoothly, leaving no shine on my face at the end of the day. Perfect for an everyday makeup base at work and for the warmer summer days.
From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
