I love the idea of tinted moisturizer, and I've tried more of them than I care to list, but all them leave me slightly greasy and somewhat shiny by the end of the day! I've recently found a product that has the same principle as a tinted moisturizer, but isn't! I was wandering through my local Sephora a couple of months ago when I chanced upon Lorac's Translucent Cream Makeup. At first glance, this looks like any old cream compact foundation, but it's not! It's a very sheer foundation that leaves a matte finish - no more shiny nose - while giving just enough coverage to even out your skin tone. I tried CM#2 and CM#3 and have opted for CM#2 for the winter. (If they had it, I would gone for #CM 2.5!) This is great for touchups during the day, too. It comes in a black plastic compact with a separate compartment for the foam puff... all the better to keep germs away! If you like sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer and don't need much in the way of coverage, Lorac Translucent Cream Makeup is definitely worth a look-see! I'm now a true-believer!

You can buy it online at Sephora.com or order it from the Beauty Line at nordstrom.com for $35.

Happy Shopping!
