Beauty buffs get compliments on their skin thanks to 'subtle' tinted moisturiser
Whether for running errands or just giving skin a breather, the 'no makeup' look is a go-to for many. Tinted moisturiser is a great way to acheive natural-looking coverage - and now there's a new launch to help get the effortless vibe.
Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturiser Natural Dewy SPF 30 (£39, Space NK) is the latest addition to the brand's roster, with fans already singing its praises. One shopper said it leaves them with a 'healthy, natural-looking glow', while another claimed they'd already purchased a second tube.
The moisturiser helps to even out skin tone and deliver long-lasting coverage, while minimising the look of pores for a smoother, more refined finish. It's available in 15 shades, carefully developed to suit a broad spectrum of skin tones.
The formula itself has a wealth of skin-loving ingredients. Organic French rock samphire helps reduce sebum production, keeping shine at bay throughout the day.
Meanwhile, a white rose wine complex works to balance oil levels why eijitsu rose (a Japanese botanical extract) visibly tightens and blurs the appearance of pores. It also contains SPF30, making it ideal for everyday wear.
For those who prefer to shop around, another tinted SPF I rate highly is Trinny London's BFF. I raved about it non-stop last year for its hydrating feel and glow-boosting finish.
Otherwise, Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF is also a great option. When I tried it, it blended seamlessly into my skin and didn't have a cakey finish.
Back to Laura Mercier; it has had plenty of great reviews via Space NK. One shopper said: "Lovely subtle product for no make-up days leaves a healthy, natural-looking glow with buildable coverage.
"It blurs skin imperfections well and blends well with other primer or moisturiser products, longwearing, a little goes a long way, so good price point, a firm favourite for mature skin."
Another pleased reviewer said: "I tried the 15ml version of the Laura Mercier Natural Dewy Tinted Moisturiser in shade '3N Sand' and became obsessed with the product - it provides me with the perfect light coverage I am looking for. I have already repurchased the larger size of the product and will continue to repurchase in the future."
However, not everyone was as impressed. One buyer noted: "The packaging was underwhelming, and I found the lid a bit bothersome to use. I prefer a pump-style dispenser.
"Despite my skin being exfoliated, the product just sat on top of my skin; it didn't sink in. I found it had very few moisturising benefits or coverage so that I won't be using it again."
Saying that, someone else wrote: "It is a really lovely and light texture, but also has good coverage - I have imperfections and it helps cover that up. Since wearing it, I have received two compliments on my skin - and I've never had compliments on my complexion before. A great product."

This High Street Store Is The Make-Up Artists Best Kept Secret
Walk past a Muji store on the high street and you'd be forgiven for, well, walking straight past. It's not exactly a shop that sparks excitement. Its muted colour palette doesn't exactly beckon you in. That said, I might have to reconsider after catching up with top make-up artist Molly Grey, who's painted the faces of countless celebrities - turns out she swears by Muji as as something of an organisational mecca. Wait, what? But there's nothing remotely glamorous about Muji, I hear you cry! Well, that's where those in the know would beg to differ. While glamour might be a stretch, Muji is home to solid, well-designed beauty essentials that allow you to organise, refine, and streamline your kit. 'As a busy make-up artist, I'm always looking for tools that help me condense my kit and make my workflow simpler. I've always turned to Muji for affordable yet practical tools to add to my set-up,' says Molly. And it makes sense - Muji's philosophy is a simple one, grounded in the Japanese principles of form, function, and minimalism. 'We exist to enable a simple and beautiful life through meaningful and useful products,' they say. And that's precisely what they deliver. Expect a clever curation of containers, binders, boxes, and storage solutions that not only work hard but are created with sustainability in mind.

Plus, it's made from 100% polypropylene meaning it's incredibly light weight and durable. Make-up artist Molly Grey says: 'Hygiene is always super important to me when working - I love the PP double card case for busy times on set when working across multiple models or when on location. I can decant products for touch ups in the opening side and pop blotting papers in the back pocket.

Aldi selling TikTok viral health drink for just £1.49 as shoppers hail it ‘amazing'
A NEW TikTok health craze is hitting Aldi shelves — and it's only £1.49. Shoppers are raving about the budget supermarket's brand-new drink, calling it 'amazing'. 6 Available in stores across the UK from July 24th, Aldi's Original and Strawberry Matcha Lattes (84g) are already causing a stir online. The excitement follows a viral post by British nutritionist and TikTok star GQ Jordan, who shared five creative ways to use the powdered drink — and fans can't get enough. The green tea blend has become a must-have ingredient in kitchens up and down the country, thanks to Jordan's unexpected twist on traditional recipes. She's managed to whip up everything from cottage cheese ice cream to creamy hummus, all using matcha as the star flavour. In the video, GQ Jordan also shows how to make a vibrant matcha pesto pasta, rich matcha French toast, and even bite-sized matcha cheesecakes — proving the viral drink isn't just for sipping. Her fans were quick to react, with one saying: 'These look amazing! "Who knew you could create so many different recipes with Matcha.' It's not the first time a TikTok trend has had shoppers flocking to Aldi, but this one is proving especially popular with health -conscious buyers. Many are ditching their usual coffees and teas in favour of this green powerhouse, known for its antioxidant benefits and gentle caffeine boost. The matcha lattes come in two flavours — classic Original and fruity Strawberry — both designed to be mixed with water or milk for an easy at-home drink. 'Absolutely delicious' shopper exclaims at new Aldi summer bargain essential that's perfect for BBQs But thanks to GQ Jordan's inspiration, shoppers are now experimenting far beyond the mug. It's not the first time TikTok has helped turn an Aldi product into a must-have. Earlier this year, the retailer's high-protein puddings became a viral sensation, praised by fitness influencers as the perfect post-gym snack. Frozen avocado chunks also took off after TikTokers revealed their go-to smoothie hack — a fuss-free, freezer-friendly way to get your greens. Beauty lovers, meanwhile, have flocked to Aldi for its £1.99 collagen shots, touted online as affordable alternatives to premium wellness brands. Even recipe hacks have taken hold, like air fryer pizza wraps made with Aldi tortilla wraps — a quick, crispy snack that exploded in popularity. And thanks to TikTok's love of budget 'dupes,' Aldi's shelves are constantly being scoured for lookalikes of trending protein bars and snacks, offering big savings without compromising on flavour. 6 6 6
