Ever since getting into the fashion and beauty space, I’ve heard nothing but RAVE reviews about Laura Mercier makeup. I have no idea why it took me so long to actually try it, but by the end of my recent appointment at their Beverly Hills makeup counter, I was a convert.

Laura Mercier is best known for her tinted moisturizer. As someone with problem (acneic) skin, I almost always look for full coverage; I need my under eye circles, breakouts and hyper pigmentation erased. But as soon the makeup artist applied the tinted moisturizer to one half of my face, I freaked out–I looked so good. Yes, you could still see some skin issues, but he corrected them really easily with a few dots of concealer. Instead of feeling like I was trying to cover up everything to make it look beautiful, I simply felt like I was beautiful.

He then did the other half of my face using the new Flawless Fluide foundation, and I loved it just as much. While the tinted moisturizer is a bit dewy, Flawless Fluide has a matte finish. And it really is fluide–it feels light and slippery and applies really easily. It has more coverage than the tinted moisturizer but it’s not full or cakey; you can still see my skin, which I know is one of Laura Mercier’s goals with her makeup. Here is my instagram photo after I left the counter (yes, I know I’m wearing sunnies–sorry! But you can see how great my skin looks–not photoshopped. Though I will admit the lighting was A+). In the photos above, I’m wearing Flawless Fluide with no concealer or powder on my skin–just a little blush–which is a huge deal for me.

Other favorite Laura Mercier products that I tried and loved at the counter (but haven’t gotten a chance to buy yet–fixing that ASAP) include: high coverage under eye concealer, secret camouflage concealer,  repair eye serum, and perfecting moisture mist
