The beauty industry is a tumultuous market that is ever flourishing and albeit the unimaginable array of new products introduced on the daily, only the best and most vouched for often come out on top. Flip through magazines or browse through the world wide web and you’ll find that luxury beauty trademark Laura Mercier is a common household name, for incontestable reasons.
If there’s something Laura Mercier is an emblem for, it is the treasure trove of cult face classics that have time and time again caused frenzy amongst the makeup-loving masses. As the brand is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, we have taken the liberty to rekindle your love for these greatly worshipped products. That being said, here’s our breakdown on the five Laura Mercier products that are deserving of their cult status.
1. Secret Camouflage (RM159) – Featuring a two-shade system, this highly pigmented concealer duo guarantees completely camouflaged dark circles, imperfections and discolouration. The two concealers – one for the skin colour and one for the skin undertone – can be custom-blended to form a desired shade.
2. Foundation Primer (RM169) – This lightweight, creamy gel smoothes over the skin’s surface for a flawless canvas while nourishing the skin with moisture-rich vitamins to soothe, refresh and condition the skin. It effectively prolongs the wear of makeup and absorbs completely, leaving no icky or uncomfortable residue behind.
3. Silk Crème Foundation (RM219) – Available in two variants (Moisturising for a luminous finish and Oil-Free for a silky matte finish), this photo-ready foundation offers a natural medium to full coverage that lasts up to 12 hours. It looks 100% skin-like and doesn’t settle into fine lines, pores or other crevices on the face.
4. Tinted Moisturiser (RM199) – For a dewy finish and a sheer coverage that lasts, this Tinted Moisturiser has a lightweight formula that comes with sunscreen. More importantly, it productively simplifies beauty regimes in the mornings as it is essentially a hydrating moisturiser that also covers and protects the skin.
5. Translucent Loose Setting Powder (RM189) – Say goodbye to the term ‘cake face’ forever with Laura Mercier’s best-selling setting powder that looks uber natural on the skin. With a finely milled, silky smooth texture, the powder works to keep makeup in place and minimises greasiness throughout the day.
