Expect to achieve nothing less than a flawless face with Laura Mercier makeup. The luxury color cosmetics brand also features extensive lines of skincare, body and bath products, fragrances and tools.
About Laura Mercier Makeup
Founded in 1996, the self-titled line is the brainchild of Frenchwoman Laura Mercier. During her youth, Mercier attended painting school in Paris. It was there that she was inspired to switch her focus to cosmetics. After spending several years working on advertisement campaigns and magazine spreads, as well as directing Madonna's looks for television, print and film, Mercier developed a line of color cosmetics. The focus was more on classic than trendy, and the Laura Mercier makeup line eventually grew to include skincare, bath and body products and fragrances.
Products
The Laura Mercier makeup collection is comprised of classic, wearable colors that are designed to suit all skin tones.
Flawless Face
Mercier believes that beautiful makeup begins with a fresh canvas, a concept called the Flawless Face. Encouraging a woman's natural beauty, Mercier promotes clear, refreshed skin as the starting point for a beautiful makeup look. The Flawless Face collection includes the following products:
- Foundation Primer: Smooth this colorless gel on before applying foundation. It ensures a fresh look all day long.
- Foundation: Available in oil-free, hydrating, stick and powder formulas, Mercier's foundation leaves the skin looking natural.
- Secret Brightener: Combat dark circles and shadows and conceal imperfections with this brightening powder.
- Secret Camouflage: This dual-shade concealer compact makes custom blending the perfect shade a snap.
- Secret Concealer: This rich, moisturizing concealer is meant for under-eye use only.
- Loose Setting Powder: A dusting of loose powder gives the skin a natural, soft look that is enhanced by the product's light-reflecting ingredients.
- Secret Finish: Apply this as a final step to achieve a radiant, healthy glow.
Color Cosmetics
The Laura Mercier makeup collection is comprised of eye color, lip color, blush, bronzers and palettes.
