I am pale with dark hair.

Used to use Laura Mercier and loved it, but they changed the formulation. I’ve been using the bare minerals tinted moisturizer and it’s pretty good.

Yes! I was a Laura Mercier fan for a decade. The new formula was wonky. It was known to oxidize. After a month or 2, the color would completely change to orange. I didn't notice at first--but one day I looked in the mirror and looked like Trump. I had a bit left in an old tube and it was a completely different color from the oxidized new tube. Sephora exchanged it- we thought it was the particular tube. 1.5 months later it happened again and when I went in the saleswoman said they were recalling that it was a known problem by Laura Mercier.

I have not liked it since and it's a shame because I was complimented all the time on my skin when I wore the original formula. I haven't found anything similar and I have tried A LOT of brands.

I am so freaking bummed about the Laura mercier change. I know, derailing the thread, but I had worn the same thing for probably 18? years and it was glorious!

I’m not really a make up person so it was nice just to put that on and feel sort of even and finished.When I went into Nordstrom last year to purchase more and the sales clerk was all ‘the formula changed - let me check what shade you are’ I thought she was confused about the oil free version. No. The previous poster was right . It’s like you are auditioning to be Donald Trump.

If you're open to BB creams, I like Skin79 quite a lot. The one in the pink bottle.

What kind of skin do you have? How clear and even is it?

Dr. Jart Disapore BB Cream!!!! It’s the only BB cream that doesn’t make pale skin look orange. It feels weightless and has mineral sunscreen... what more can a gal want?!

It is clear and even.

I have some small wrinkles around my eyes. The wrinkles are going to stay.
