NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

As we are coming in to Summer (I type this as it is pouring with rain outside!!) I needed to replace my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser as it was running out. I decided to give the new NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer a go. I picked it partly because NARS is fast becoming one of my fav makeup brands but also because it is oil free.

My colour shade is St Moritz (Medium1), it blends into my skin perfectly, better then the Laura Mercier colours do.

In terms of coverage, I would say it is light but can be built to medium. The finish in my opinion is more matt then some may like but does give a radiant effect. The best thing for me about this moisturiser is the longevity of it. I am not a great one to powder after application and with most of my foundations and tinted moisturisers by the end of the day I look oily and a little cakey. After a day at work with the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer my skin shows hardly and oil and barely any cakey patches.

The only negative thing I have to say is about the smell! For some it may be great but for me it has a really strong citrus smell which I really am not a fan of. Despite that it does not stay on the skin so it hasn't put me off enough to stop using it.

If you are comparing it to the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser here are some little facts you may like:

• NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer has SPF 30 compared to SPF 20
• Both are 50ml
• NARS is £27, Laura Mercier is £33 (when purchased from Space NK)
• NARS is Paraben free, Laura Mercier isn't

I didn't think anything could convert me from my Laura Mercier but this one has and is now one of my must haves!!

Stay Beautiful
