[Press Sample] [I Bought It]
I am new to the Makeup Wars ladies, but I am excited to jump right in on Brand Wars! We are battling out on behalf of our favorite brands. I am a huge Laura Mercier fan. Laura Mercier Cosmetics makes neutral and everyday become enchanting and extraordinary. They make looking chic easy-to-achieve because the products from this brand are fool proof. High quality and classic are the best two words I have to describe the brand.
Second Skin Cheek Color
The shade I have here is Lotus Pink. I have several of these blushes and this one is hands down my favorite. When I can’t decide what to apply, this always wins.
The shade I am showing is Earth Glow. These shadows are hard to describe. The texture is sort-of bouncy and baked mixed together. They have great pigmentation and have a beautiful sheen, almost pearl-like.
Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer is infamous, and she has come out with a compact version of it! I for one am a huge fan of this creme compact. I like that with a compact you have easy access to touch up on the go. It has moderate coverage and a nice, dense texture. It leaves a dewy, glowy finish and that is my main M. O. when I am getting my skin done up!
Face Illuminator
Rose Rendezvous is probably my favorite highlighter of all time and I have mentioned it several times over the years. I know that it is extremely limited edition and long gone by now, but it really is fantastic. Laura Mercier releases a new illuminator or two every year so there will be others to fall in love with.
The Undercover Pot is everything you need to conceal in one package. It has two shades of concealer (in two formulas) and a setting powder underneath. Secret Camouflage is on the left and Secret Concealer is on the right. Secret Camouflage covers blemishes and other imperfections and stays in place all day. Secret Concealer is primarily for your under eye area and is a bit more emollient than Secret Camouflage, also it has the perfect shade for the dark circles.
This is probably the BEST formula creme liner I have ever used. It is soft to the touch, SUPER DUPER pigmentation, and it glides onto the eye with no skipping or tugging. It is truly amazing and the shade I am showing you is Espresso. It is perfect!
Metallic Creme Eye Colour
The shade I am showing you is Platinum, which I believe is the best of them all. There was a span of 3-4 months where I wore this as my base EVERYDAY! I like sparkly lids so this just created the perfect primer for all of my shimmery looks.
Cheek Colour Brush
This blush brush is my absolute favorite from my collection. It doesn’t have a fancy shape or anything specifically special shape. It is a nice paddle brush, perfectly shaped for the cheek and is made of natural hair.
Brow Definer/Brow Grooming Brush
This brush actually came in a special holiday set a year or so ago. It is the ONLY brush I reach for now to do my brows. I remember the first time I used this brush to do my brows I did my regular routine. That day at work I had 3 ladies say something to me about my brows. Specifically, they mentioned brows… It blew me away and I haven’t switched to another brow brush since.
The swatches above are L to R: Lotus Pink blush, Earth Glow Eyeshadow, Rose Rendezvous illuminator, Metallic Creme Shadow in Platinum, Creme Liner in Espresso.
I know now that since you have read this entire post that you will be convinced, as am I, that Laura Mercier is the best brand around! The brand encompasses classic beauty and there is something for starts and pros alike!
