Kelly Ripa has glowing skin. There’s no denying that the daytime talkshow host’s beauty routine is one for the books. After we heard about Kelly Ripa’s go-to vitamin C cleansing pads, we couldn’t help but add more of her favorite products to our beauty bag. The latest find that has us buzzing? The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

In an interview with Glamour, Ripa broke down her beauty routine step by step. She said that after she finishes with her Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool, followed by her Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum on her skin, she uses two different kinds of tinted moisturizers for hydration and coverage.

The Live co-host said she reaches for the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer as the next step in her beauty routine. “I put that on before I do my makeup because I’ve been doing my own makeup for work since the pandemic,” she said in the interview.

Ripa then said that she reaches for the TiZO3 as a face primer, which helps balance some of the shine from the Laura Mercier moisturizer. “I love the Laura Mercier tinted sunscreen because it’s a great moisturizer, but it doesn’t look chalky,” she noted.

The tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier comes in two sizes—a standard and a mini for easy traveling and on-the-go perfecting. Plus, it’s sold in 20 shades so you can find the perfect match for your skin tone.

The product can be applied like any moisturizer and provides minimal coverage to allow freckles to shine through while evening the skin tone. Not only does the moisturizer work to hydrate skin, but it also has vitamin D, vitamin E, and SPF.

Some more call-out ingredients include macadamia and kukui seed oils to increase the skin’s moisture levels while working to reduce signs of dry skin, silica treatments pigment to soften skin tone and provide a naturally dewy finish, and tamarind seed extract to lock in hydration and give antioxidant protection.

One reviewer wrote, “It’s got natural coverage, so it looks like you have nothing on.” Another reviewer commented, “Perfect for every day. In the summer I use this only with blush. In winter I will put on foundation over this. A staple for me at 73.”
