My New FAVE Foundation: Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10.

I think we can agree that it is my "job" to try beauty products. I have tried so many and highlight so much of what I like here on Beautiful Makeup Search. Alas, once in a while, there is a product that just blows me away and ladies, this is it. Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup is the foundation I have been searching for.

First of all, when I need coverage, I want my foundation to cover, but not look like a mask. I want my skin, minus the age spots, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles to show through. I want my skin to look healthy. Obviously, I would like the makeup to look as perfect, as I think it can. I also want it to last and look nice all day long. Diorskin Nude does all that and then some.

And then some? Yes, my skin looks better than ever when using it and I love how I can play with the coverage. I do not want heavier coverage for the day, when I usually use a tinted moisturizer. But there are times that I want to build up my foundation, and this foundation is very build able. Using my handy Beautyblender Sponge (more on that soon!), I can stipple the makeup just where I need the foundation to cover more and where it can be used lighter.

The fact that the formula is hydrating and contains an SPF of 10 is a definite plus as well. The liquid is hydrating enough to quench my dry skin all throughout the day, but never looking to "glowy" or oily. Believe it or not, I do not even using setting powder with this foundation. Perfection!

A unique blend of 100% natural mineral pigments and Dior's innovative Mineralized Water delivers an energizing cocktail for your complexion. Over time, your skin looks more beautiful, with and without makeup!

Diorskin Nude comes in a nice range of shades to compliment various skin shades and undertones. I am using the shade Sand, and it compliments my skin tone (in the summer) perfectly.

There is a coordinating Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder Makeup, for those who like to shy away from liquid foundations. If you are at all hesitant to try this (in either form), do not be. For this to receive status as one of my favorites is not to be taken lightly - and I mean that.

Diorskin Nude can be found at makeup counters at Nordstom, Nordstrom.com and Sephora.com for $45.00.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

I have said it many times before, and I will say it again. I am obsessed with using a tinted moisturizer in the summer. I simply cannot stand a full-on heavy face of foundation, unless I am out to a super special event.

As I had just finished my tube of AmorePacific Tinted Moisturizer and needed another one for a quick trip and fast, I took a quick trip to Sephora. I asked the sales associates what their best selling tinted moisturizer was, and three associates turned to me and answered Laura Mericer Tinted Moisturizer. One of them thought I should go for the Illuminated version, but two of them agreed with me, I just needed the standard, which by the way is nothing but standard, version.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is a best-seller for a reason. It is a great hydrating lotion with the most beautiful tint to it. The colors are beautiful, and look so fresh and dewy when applied. This never settles into lines and keeps my face both looking and feeling fresh all day long. The much needed SPF 20 is an awesome addition to the product and does not irritate my sunscreen sensitive skin. It comes in 7 shades that match virtually every skin tone, with Almond, being the perfect shade for my faux-tan.

Check this out, along with the Illuminated Tinted Moisturizer at Sephora stores, as well as Sephora.com, LauraMercier.com and Nordstrom.
