Laura Mercier

I really like this product, it works well to create a soft line in the eyelash line for a natural look. I want to continue using it but learned that it contains C9-15 Fluoroalcohol Phosphate in the ingredients, a chemical related to Teflon that accumulates and lasts forever in the body and environment. The harm from PFAS chemicals has been downplayed by some, but the EPA states they are known hormone disrupters, associated with cancers, high cholesterol, thyroid issues, early menopause, and so on. It’s especially bad to find in eye makeup since the skin around the eye is thinner and is more absorbant than other parts of the body. I know it’s only a tiny amount, but daily applications over time can build up exposure. Until they reformulate without PFAS, I’m going to retire my tightliner :(

These must be the most delicious lip glosses out there!

Very sheer, natural colours that will work for a plethora of skin tones. Universally flattering, ultra comfortable and dare I say - sexy lip glosses. I have quite a few natural lines on my lips and these never settle into them; they glide right over giving an appearance of a very luscious pout. Definitely some of the best glosses I've tried!

Nude shades in particular can be worn over any good matte lipstick to make it that extra bit special. Oh, before I forget! These smell like vanilla cupcake! I adore the scent here.

There is not much to say about this powder, it is pure magic!

This is a beautiful baked powder formula, finely milled and ultra lightweight. It does not add much coverage, but if you just want to set your makeup and add a bit of natural healthy glow - this powder will be your best friend.

I think it will work wonders for people with dry, normal even dry-combination skin. Great for a delicate under-eye area too. I would highly recommend it to people who love natural makeup and are not into overly matte, dry baking.

If Shape Tape and Nars Creamy had a baby, this concealer would be it.

It is creamy, yet medium-full coverage. It is not as drying (for people with dry skin) as Shape Tape, but it does crease a bit more than Tarte. I find that 2N is a good match for MAC's NC20. Applicator is soft and bendy, so I can easily maneuver it all over the face.

It blends beautifully and wear all day long; doesn't accentuate dryness or pores. I think it is a wonderful day-to-day alternative to your typical, full-coverage concealer. I would certainly recommend it!

If you have dry skin, don't shy away! There is a way to enjoy the benefits of this foundation, without sacrificing the comfort.

I love a sheer-medium coverage and believe me, you can achieve that with this medium-full coverage formula. It is incredibly lightweight and blends like a dream. Shade range for the most part is great too, I use shade Cashew and it is a perfect match for someone with NC20 skin tone. It lasts on me all day long and gets better, dewier as the day goes by. It might accentuate patches of dry skin, so make sure to keep things smooth and exfoliated.

To sheer this foundation out, I would typically use one pump only and dilute it in moisturizer/illuminating primer. This way I get the most beautiful canvas, which feels light and breathable. I think this is a wonderful product.
