If I could have a makeup artist come to the house every
morning and prep me for the day, it would be Laura Mercier. I know that I would
leave the house looking just like myself, only a 100 times better! People would
stop me in the street to comment on my fairy tale complexion! (you just got a
glimpse into my weird fantasy life…)
A lot of makeup artists concentrate on delivering wow, being
creative and modern. I respect how that would be great for a lot of people, for
celebrities on the red carpet and just for fun on magazines. Laura Mercier has
a different approach – she focuses on flawless skin and a natural effect. I
hate to say something as cliché as this, but she is a quintessential French
woman in that aspect, and understands that looking great is very different from
looking made-up.
Naturally, her makeup line has that same goal of creating
perfect skin and bringing out natural beauty. The large majority of her
products are tools for creating beautiful skin – primers, foundations, creamy
tinted moisturizers, powders, concealers that combine different colors and
textures. I’ve recommended a few on this blog already, and I am sure to
recommend at least a couple more. She has recently started a skincare line that
I haven’t had the chance to test yet, but look forward to.
So pay her website a visit! Check out her Flawless Facephilosophy and her beautiful looks. Enjoy!
