Laura Mercier Tinted Blur Balm

Laura Mercier Tinted Blur Balm Shade 1 is a modern balm-to-powder tint designed to give skin a softly blurred, natural-looking finish. The lightweight cream texture glides on smoothly, helping to diffuse the look of pores and uneven texture while adding a sheer veil of colour. Powered by a Peptide Complex, squalane and camelina sativa seed oil, the formula works to support skin’s elasticity and comfort, leaving the complexion looking smoother and more refined over time. Shade 1 is ideal for fair complexions with neutral cool undertones and offers sheer-to-medium coverage that still lets skin look like skin.

This versatile tint fits easily into a daily make-up routine, whether you prefer a minimal base or like to sculpt and define. Use it alone in place of foundation for a breathable matte finish, or pair with concealer and setting powder for longer wear. It may help to control shine for combination and oily skin types while remaining comfortable on sensitive skin. The compact 5g size makes it convenient for touch-ups throughout the day.

Why we love it
- Balm-to-powder texture that helps to blur pores and uneven texture while feeling weightless on the skin
- Sheer-to-medium, buildable coverage that keeps skin looking natural rather than heavily made up
- Peptide Complex, squalane and camelina sativa seed oil work to support smoother, more comfortable-looking skin over time
- Versatile shade range and breathable matte finish make it well suited to combination and oily skin, and easy to use for everyday sculpting or soft-focus coverage

How to use
How to Use:
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Swirl a dense face brush or sponge over the balm to warm the formula. Apply to the face, starting at the centre and blending outwards for sheer coverage. Build in thin layers where more coverage is desired. For a lighter finish, use fingertips to smooth the tint over the skin. Use a shade one to two levels deeper than your natural tone to softly sculpt the contours of the face.

Frequency:
Use as needed according to the product instructions, whenever you’d like light to medium coverage and a natural matte finish.

Application Technique:
Apply a small amount at a time, blending well over the complexion. Focus on areas where you’d like to blur texture or even tone, such as the T-zone, cheeks and chin. The balm can be worn alone or layered with concealer and setting powder.

Best Practices:
Apply after skincare and, in the daytime, follow with SPF. Build coverage gradually rather than applying too much at once. Take extra care to blend along the jawline and hairline for a seamless finish.

Safety Tips:
Avoid direct contact with eyes. Use externally only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and follow any additional guidance on the packaging. Keep out of reach of children.

Best Practices:
Apply after skincare and, if used in the daytime, follow with SPF. Allow each layer to settle before adding more product. Choose a shade one to two levels deeper than your natural tone if using for contouring.
