I (Brooke) have been using Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation for a few years now, so I was thrilled when they recently came out with Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide. I love the Silk Crème Foundation but sometimes felt it was a bit heavy for daytime use. We were lucky enough to meet with a global ambassador for the brand, Jerry, in New York City, and he taught us all about the new formula. The Flawless Fluide is a lightweight oil-free formula that really blurs the line between real skin and makeup. Jerry said, “It wears like a second skin,” and he’s right. It really does. I have been wearing this foundation daily, and it feels so great on my skin – not heavy or cakey at all. To find the best shade for your skin, he suggests you visit your local Laura counter for help from a pro and always test the color on your face instead of your hand (seems like common sense, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tested products on my hand). The best way to apply the Flawless Fluide is: shake for 10 seconds, then tap a few times on the counter to get the best result (you’ll see it’s not like a normal foundation). Since it has build-able coverage, it’s always best not to overdo it. It’s much easier to add than to remove ;). Instead of “wiping” the foundation on your face, apply with a foundation brush or sponge in a stippling motion around your face – this will give you the best results. The steps to achieve a flawless face are: prime the skin (this is my favorite primer – it is luminous and really gives you that “glow”), apply foundation, conceal, and set with powder.

Absolutely love the Lip Glacè – I’m wearing “Pink Pop.” 

After Jerry worked his magic on us! 

The Foundation Primer has been a game-changer for my (Meggan) skin! It is so lightweight and finishes with a healthy glow. It works well under the Flawless Fluide Foundation but it also looks amazing alone, especially for daytime! It goes on smoothly and lasts all day – no wonder it’s sold every 27 seconds! This is a great product for women who don’t like the feel of foundation but want all-over coverage. Also, a lot of you always ask about my lip gloss on Instagram – I mix my two Laura Mercier favorites “Pink Pop” and “Bare Baby”. They look great mixed or worn alone! I’m seriously addicted to it – my boyfriend will vouch for that!

It’s easy to see why we are big fans of Laura Mercier. Be sure to stay tuned for an upcoming Instagram contest (begins October 14th)!
