Laura Mercier Has Your Answer for a New Foundation
Do you change your foundation each season? Like in the summer for example, do you only wear mineral makeup because it gets so hot? I find I don’t really have a pattern when it comes to the different types of foundation out there. I do find myself gravitating towards powder foundation mainly in the summer and them randomly throughout the year. Just something to think about!
So speaking of foundation, I’m really feeling LAURA MERCIER’s new Crème Smooth Foundation ($50/1oz @ lauramercier.com). First off, this 1oz size looks so huge in the glass jar it comes in and a little goes a long way. This gives medium to heavy coverage that’s totally buildable and it contains not only the anti-wrinkle ingredient Dermaxyl but also those optical diffusers. Available in 6 shades.
This formula also comes in a Toffee Bronzer shade that I’ve been using to practice contouring my cheeks. Do you contour your features?

Aww, with only 6 shades, I'm betting it doesn't come in pale :(
As for contouring, I attempt, but I don't always succeed.

This definitely comes in more than six shades. Maybe Sephora only carries a few? www.lauramercier.com shows 11, which seems much closer to what I saw at the counter when I recently picked up a jar.

Hi Phyrra - it depends on how pale you are as the lightest shade seems pretty pale though I'm not sure what undertones it has in it.
Hi 2sheds - yup you are totally right! Strange that one site only carries a few shades and the other only a few. Thanks for reading!
