This is one of my top 3 favorite foundations. However…while we have similar skin tone and type, my skin is almost 49 years old. I think that’s where the difference comes in. I find the La Mer foundation to actually get better as the day goes on, and I always get compliments when I wear it. Speaking of skin tone, we generally wear the same shade in foundations and I have this in shade 120 Ivory. I would never say that someone must have a $135 foundation, BUT if you have more mature (older/aging), dry, sensitive skin AND this is on your budget, I would recommend at the very least getting a sample and giving it a try. I don’t think it’s a great fit for 20-something year old skin.

I’ve literally never met anyone who uses LaMer products, from when I was in my early 20s to where I am now (mid 30s). I’ve also had multiple estheticians tell me that brand is nothing special and obscenely overpriced. I’ve always been curious about their line, but after everything I’ve seen/heard over the years, I’ll continue to avoid it 🤣 always fun to watch you try new things!

Pat Mc grath is my first foundation (I switch between L2 and L3 year-long) because it is a closer tone match and this is second in line for me. Shade 100 porcelain is !barely! light enough for me, and it isn't cool toned at all. Actually quite yellow (for me this is good, it matches my undertone very nicely) but did anyone else find this odd? I mean, they advertise shade 100 as cool toned. Imagine my surprise. And also, shade 120 (which I originally thought would be a better match) is quite pink and dark.

I have this foundation and love it! It does have a strong fragrance to it but so does L’Oréal’s Freshwear.. I love a natural skin finish foundation and this works on my mostly dry skin type. I do think the finish of this is fairly close to Physicians Formula Healthy foundation, Lancome Teint Idole and also similar to Giorgio Armani Luminos Silk. So of you like any of those I would think a person could like this as well.

No need for primer. It doesn’t have to be set with powder but normally I like to use just a very small amount. It’s really a gorgeous product and 1 pump (which is small) is enough for your whole face. Hope this helps!

The history of the man who made the La Mer brand is super shady and he was more like snake oil salesman. La Mer is an example of the first pre-internet “viral” marketing scheme because he was the first person to give his products to stars in Hollywood. There’s nothing in the ingredients that would justify this price. Anyone can buy anything that they want, but this is this just plain old overpriced.

I've tried it and like it. It lasts all day for me. The shades are off in terms of the description. I had to exchange the first bottle for a lighter shade. I only use 1 pump so it provides a light sheerer coverage. I didn't notice any fragrance so I'm not sure if fragrance just doesn't bother me or if your bottle is off a bit. I have mature skin so it does settle a bit into smile lines but all foundations do for me. Overall, I really like it. I'm not sure I'll purchase again when this bottle is empty as I do have other foundations that I like just as well that are less expensive.

Im so glad to hear your experience with this and gosh thousands? Of foundations. I love how you told us WHY you chose color 1 and 4 on A consealer- I never thought to really buy based on the undertone even if its really light or dark and just mix. I have ended up doing that sorta on accident but I dont naturally think about it so that is very helpful esp for a neutral girl that I feel one day I look more cool and the next a bit more warm depending on my clothing. Im going to try out mixing more in my fav ( inexpensive) formulas based on the undertone in going for.

I have LOVED La Mer foundation for years (the shade you tried is my match) but now that I’m a mother, I’ve been feeling slightly guilty that the price tag is so high. I have always found that this foundation keeps me well-hydrated, my skin luminous, and it has always worn well for me throughout the day. I’ve tried so many other foundations out of me feeling over the high price tag but have kept coming back to La Mer (and feeling frustrated that if I hadn’t tried those foundations, I could have just purchased my actual La Mer shade and called it a good day)… UNTIL Lisa Eldridge’s The Foundation came onto the scene! I feel the bottles are incredibly similar, the formula is well-hydrating and sinks in beautifully into the skin the way the La Mer foundation has always done for me as well and the price (while still not being drug store) is about half of what my La Mer Foundation is. For those looking for the luxury and skincare of La Mer with half the cost, Lisa Eldridge is your new Holy Grail!!

That lip color is AMAZING on you! And the foundation looked very pretty as well. I finally broke down and bought it, too, if only because I like the cream--I don't get it regularly because it's not worth the money to me, but I do like occasional use, especially when my face is feeling super dry and/or I'm having trouble with redness. La Mer cream seems to really help with those issues. I noted the therapeutic feel of the foundation too, interesting. My skin seems to like it and that is NOT always the case. I think it's a good foundation too, but like you, I don't think ANY foundation's worth $135. (If anyone super wants it, sometimes you can find a sealed tester on EBay for about $75. Just make sure you know the shade, since the company's added/changed shade names in recent years.) I'm not sorry I bought it though, because it feels and wears great on my dry, sensitive, slightly aging skin and tbh I've probably bought so many foundations that did NOT work at all and couldn't be returned, that the overall expenditure was the same or worse. ;-) I hope that if you decide to keep it that you go back and exchange for the correct shade. Makes it more worth it lol.

I liked the la mer foundation but am with you about the scent! In fact, I sold mine on Poshmark bc I hated the smell of it that much! It was years ago and lol I have been thinking of caving and getting it again! Perhaps I’ll just live vicariously through you and let my wallet can stay in tact a bit longer 😂 sending lots of ❤️

I can't believe how expensive La Mer is as a brand overall. I was thinking how expensive Pat Mcgrath and Natasha Denona were, but La Mer is another level of price!

I’ve tried all of the la mer products and whatever that “miracle” ingredient is - it works. I’ve found that the la mer cushion foundation works the best. I have dry skin and sometimes combo skin and this brand always heals my skin. Hate to pay it but by the time I buy all the other products it would’ve been cheaper to just stay with la mer.

Oh how I LOVE La Mer!! My holy grail, it lasts a very long time and there is a perfect shade in their foundation range for me. Always keep a back up. I also really enjoy La Mer The treatment lotion.

I always said I would never pay that kind of price point for any make up. But I did order the La Mer foundation and I absolutely love it. I actually ended up repurchasing it. I love it that much. I also have other foundations I love as well but it is special. I do wish it had a bigger selection thats the only thing bad I can say about it. I know the pri e point is up there. But shes also is paying 60 dollars for 2 concealers to have what she says is the perfect match. Some might say that price point is high but if it ultimately works and makes you feel good then so be it.

Agreed! 💕 I just bought this foundation and tried it for the first time yesterday and it was the first time ever that I did not want to wash my makeup off at the end of the day. To me, what this foundation does for my skin and my confidence is worth every penny. My skin has never looked this good. Ever. Will 100% repurchase!

Do you prep you skin (moisturizer/primer) before application? I didn’t see that on this video so not sure if that would have help with the outcome. I would have to do these steps prior to foundation though cause my skin is mostly dry. I’m interested in getting this foundation but this video kinda turn me off, Lol 😂

So with something like La Mer, you maybe should have gone to Sephora and ask for a sample--they will literally give you a tiny travel size jar and fill it with product (and it'll last for days)--and bonus, you can color match while there. I did this exact thing for the La Mer foundation, and I had the same experience (got oily, and determined that it was NOT worth the money). Just a tip!!!

I’m 62 and have really good skin, and I just can’t spend that on a foundation. I could, but I won’t. I’ve tried it in samples and I didn’t think it was especially earth shattering.

First of all you are gorgeous Allie whatever you wear. On Sephora the color descriptions for the La Mer foundation are all wrong. When I saw you got 150 I cringed as I knew it would be too dark for you. I think you definitely would be ivory 120. I have to admit that La Mer is my favorite foundation. It has a velvet look that I have not found with my other foundations. Since I don’t wear foundation everyday or just wear my Nars tinted moisturizer I don’t feel this is that expensive. My other foundations I love Armani Luminous silk,It Cosmetics your skin but better, LYS, and L’Oréal Serum oh and Estée Lauder. I am dying to try Lisa Eldridge ( that I don’t need) but waiting for the foundation cards to be restocked. Merry Christmas Allie.

As always, I appreciate your honesty. We can always count on you for that, and that goes a very long way. Thank you. I was contemplating this foundation, and the scent alone is a HUGE turnoff. Your other comments only reinforce that no, this is not for me at all.

I use quite a few luxury brands, especially skincare, because they do work better for me. I have heard Physician’s Formula Healthy foundation is a great dupe for this one. My experience with luxury brands is there are 2 kinds: ones that really are good, and the ones designed for women who have lots of money, and don’t need to look at the price tag. My experience with La Mer skincare is it is the latter, didn’t do much for my skin. If you have lots of money and it makes you feel good, go for it. I like products that work well. And if it stinks, pardon me, has ‘fragrance’, that is an immediate deal breaker.

Of course the most expensive I own is the TF shade and illuminate which when I apply I look like I’m putting on a WHITE mask SO UPSET they shade matched me WAY wrong ERRG went with my gut with the traceless stick which is just a tad dark but once my face is all done it works…. Wish I would of went with my gut when I purchased the shade and illuminate

This is my favorite foundation. People always say I have amazing skin when I wear it. Not that my makeup looks great, my skin! In heat and humidity I will often add a bit of double wear by Estée Lauder and that is amazing! Also, I have 46 year old skin.
