My Thoughts on Laura Mercier..

[@halliegist2794]

I feel like Laura Mercier is a brand that doesn’t try to be trendy, which is probably why it’s not what comes to mind when I’m looking for a new product. But if I’m looking for something reliable for work or an event, I think this is definitely a brand I would consider.

[@allanaramaa]

Totally agree!!

[@mandy833]

Some of my staples are from LM. The secret camouflage concealer, primer, and bamboo eyeshadow are my favorite.

[@mandy833]

@@allanaramaa Lisa Eldridge has some great videos on LM and they are geared toward women that want a more classic makeup look (which might explain why the brand doesn't get a lot of attention. They focus on the basics)

[@annlatham]

I have loved every LM product I’ve come across so far... they’re my faves!

[@wendywoobles]

Totally agree! They aren't the social media trend and aren't flashy or targeting a specific crowd. they always have beautiful foundations and concealers.

[@367Play]

I appreciate when a brand’s products quality speaks louder than its marketing. LM is a great example of that.

[@AbrilP96]

Please add close-ups! That way we can see how the product actually looks on the skin! 🙏🏻 This look is stunning btw, that eyeshadow is gorgeous! ✨

[@jasminey9642]

Ahh yes a full face friday...only thing we're missing is the beloved song

[@brunaoliveira4941]

For me, Laura Mercier understand the concept of flawless skin before it was cool haha I have a shit ton of tinted moiusturizers but everytime I use the one from this brand, people coment on how beautiful my SKIN looks (not my makeup, my skin)

[@katmiller5884]

I love that you’re doing a full face of this brand! This is the brand I always fall back to when I’ve jumped on too many new-launch bandwagons that never perform the way I hope. Also, in general I love full-face-fridays.

[@Katiewadsworth]

Laura mercier is so underrated. I love their complexion products. I feel this way about Estée Lauder complexion too.

[@eggegg8181]

First thing I noticed was how amazing and glowy your skin looks, I have major skin envy right now

[@alisonfranco27]

I'm team contour-specific. I find that using a concealer as contour tends to sit and collect in my large pores and acne scars, looking like blackheads, whereas if I rub a brush against a cream contour stick (or just use powder contour) it is less likely to create that blackhead effect.

[@kadajra]

I love their tinted moisturizer! I think you would too! Also, Bobbi Brown is a brand I had been sleeping on for so many years and just recently picked up three products, so I would love to see you do a full face of Bobbi Brown! 🤍

[@valhoff3]

Back in the day, when I was a practicing MUA, Laura Mercier was one of those high end brands that artists sought out at stores like Bergdorf Goodman in NYC. It was high-quality, with beautiful, skin-friendly shades. I was obsessed with Secret Camouflage (in the compact) and her tinted moisturizer because there just weren’t any on the market back then. The world of cosmetics has exploded with the advent of KZbin and Instagram - There are a zillion brands out there now! Oddly, I really don’t use very many of her products anymore since I’ve gone to a much more minimal style. Thanks for featuring the brand! Your skin looks gorgeous even before the concealer! *anti-contour person here (I trained with Bobbi Brown)❤️😘

[@unhingedratqueen]

their candleglow sheer perfecting powder is such an underrated gem!

[@valerioliva9872]

Yes !!! I love mine, it makes the skin “ethereal” looking if you will lol

[@luzmarie6395]

I’m so happy you made this video, Laura mercier is my favorite brand. Their foundations are IMMACULATE

[@YummyGummy77]

My fave brand too.....she literally doesn't make any BAD products whatsoever

[@justinelee5176]

Ahhh! I’ve been requesting a full face of Laura Mercier for a while. Glad you decided to do this! Love these kinds of videos! ☺️

[@christineleeee]

I absolutely must know how you've been doing your brows because they look DIVINE

[@AnnaDunlap247Rolltide]

She has mentioned a few times it takes her FOREVER 🤪

[@J_Rev]

I feel like the Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown have great tried and true products you can always rely on. I love LM’s ultra long wear concealer, caviar sticks and blushes. All beautiful reliable products.

[@melocotonki]

I’m becoming addicted to the 5 day uploads and therefore dread the weekends 😂 I would love to see a REVLON or CLINIQUE full face 💕

[@paranoiadance]

MUFE has the new Watertone foundation and it seems like it’ll be right up you alley. It’s the relaunch of their face and body/waterblend foundation.

[@melaniesenecal7153]

Oh! I am excited by that!! Always preferred the face and body from MuFE versus Mac!

[@ashw661]

As a 35 year old mom of 4, who loves to watch your videos but rarely steps out of her neutral comfort zone, Laura Mercier is a tried and true favorite!! Her brand is consistent with great quality and decent price points!! Love me som LM!

[@Luckiducki13]

Turning 35 in June with 4 kids as well! Definitely a neutrals gal myself but don’t ever think to try LM either. Need to try some LM items out!

[@melissabirchnutrition]

stunning!! that eye colour is so nice. i find your make-up videos so helpful because we have such similar colouring (skin tone & hair colours) so loving the regular uploads

[@sabrinamd04]

I’ve been using that foundation for years and always use my fingers. SO GOOD.

[@christineg6123]

I LOVE their matte radiance baked highlighter

[@allanaramaa]

I totally forgot how gorgeous it was!!

[@mirandaleschke]

Pretty sure I bought that years ago off a Kathleen Lights recommendation. One of my favorite products ever!

[@staciewagner7653]

That Longwear Concealer you used is my all time favorite concealer. Best ever.

[@jenvanhorn822]

I love that you did this fullface of Laura. The Lumiere Foundation is gorgeous, and one of my faves and the flawless fusion concealer in my daily concealer. I can't be without it, absolute fave! (The other one I switch it out with I recently tried and it's tied with LM is the Uoma Woke concealer - but the LM hasbeen a longer HG for sure) I've been wanting to try Fresco forever, but I've recently bought a colour pop Fashion District from the Melrose collection, and from what I can tell it's a close dupe (?) From the way it applies. It appears a bit darker in pan maybe, but from what I can tell from everyone I've watched apply it, idk. I've got to see it in person, which is hard to accomplish now a days 😭 Loved this full face!! 🥰 Looks beautiful 🤩 xo

[@kelly82485]

Ok I absolutely LOVE the caviar sticks and I have 6 or 7 so far but I don't have amethyst because I don't love purples on myself but I had no idea it was that beautiful! It's more of a taupe which I love sooooo much! I'm so buying that during the sale so thank you for using it! Yay! But they def do have some very warm toned ones too! They have like 40 shades now! I think I'm buying that concealer too! 💓

[@hickchicklori2278]

My fav LM product is her tinted moisturizer....all I wear in summer. Good coverage and lasts in this humid Kansas heat.

[@allyjayemorgan]

FELLOW KANSAN! Good to know!!

[@ceilidhx3]

Definitely picking up this foundation and concealer during the sale because of this! Your base looked so stunning!

[@kelsiemcphee4209]

[@nas2817]

Allana looking more and more gorgeous. I dunno whatchu did but I'm jealous. Your skin is so glowing.

[@2hyper4sugar]

Thanks for the brand overview. You looked wonderful and I was so jealous - especially because I have had really bad experiences with both their mascara and foundation!! I will consider giving their lipsticks a try though - what a cute color for a spring time pucker hahah!

[@BookerM]

I would love to see a whole face of Sisley. The makeup I did try was wonderful and their skincare has been life-saving for my dry skin

[@rachelfogg9411]

Your base looks sooooo flawless wow

[@sagelovescoffee]

I love LM products! The concealer stick is a must everyday! It even blends into the skin without using foundation or the tinted moisturizer! When I’m rushing in the morning and don’t have time to put makeup on, I always use the stick and it blend in with the skin amazingly!

[@tashagendron]

Love the video. I think you could have used the peachy corrector side of the stick under the eye and still used the flawless concealer to brighten. Maybe try that next time.

[@a_tots]

Absolutely loving that light base, it’s soo delicate, elegant, lovely!!

[@christineg6123]

Happy Good Friday! Thank you for still uploading 😊

[@sandrapaul4828]

Hi Allana. I own about 40 foundation, BB, CC cream tinted moisturizer and the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer I literally felt in love when I tried it the first time that I bought a second backup tube right away. The only place in my area you can get makeup is in a drugstore. I do not use a deeper concealer for contouring but I sometimes use a deeper shade of the same foundation I have that I love that I have my winter shade and summer shade and use the darker shade on the perimeter of my face for a pre contouring, bronzing step.

[@meghanbascombe5036]

My consistent queen! I’m in such a predicament with your videos because on one hand I love them but on the other hand you’re voice is so soothing so I always fall asleep watching 😭

[@erinames7783]

Perfect glowing bronzy look! You look like you just got back from a beach vacation.

[@Dooshiynwa]

That foundation is my holy grail! It's perfect for dry skin. It applies beautifully over every primer. My go to tip is set it with the CT Airbrush powder slightly and drench your face in setting spray. That combo makes your foundation lasts ALL day and is ok under the mask! Doesn't rub off or anything.

[@jemimakaru]

This is one of my fave bases you’ve done lately!! So glowy and beautiful. That foundation is incredible and I love how subtle and soft the bronzer is! You’re beautiful girl 🥺😍🥰❤️

[@CatNevery]

Your makeup and base looks amazing ! This is definitely one of my fav looks you’ve done for a while!

[@ronni7167]

Stunning. Can you give an update on how the foundation lasted over time? Thank you and Happy Easter. 🥰

[@nicolemcfarland3616]

This base looked so natural and summery!! I use their primer and powder and an old bronzer that I've had forever regularly, but now I'm inspired to try some of the other products! For a future video, would love to see you walk through your go-to brushes. I've been looking to revamp by brush collection!

[@trishaharvey4935]

Laura Mercier is great. They have amazing core products. Bases, powders, eye products and lip. The new primers are lovely too. I love the Caviar eye sticks as well. Your look is so pretty.

[@breannamiller1296]

I think it’s normal to have your brands that you like and are drawn to and aren’t! I mostly buy drugstore and for me, that’s never reaching for wet and wild despite all the hype! Love the look ❤️

[@ceilidhwelch9513]

Would love to see a video reviewing and comparing lightweight foundations for spring and summer! Seems like there are so many sheer-medium foundations/skin tints/tinted moisturizers coming out and would love to hear your thoughts on them and maybe some older ones!

[@zuzanalancaricova1080]

I agree very much with a lot of things you said, I also don’t enjoy their loose powder at all, but the Flawless Fusion concealer is excellent - KJH got me on it

[@aishaich]

I use the bare minerals bare pro stick concealer in a darker shade as my bronzer/contour and honestly nothing else could ever compare! It just blends out better than an actual contour stick

There are a few products/brands that I had in my collection for ages before I would finally try them again.. then I give them another shot after owning it for like 2-4 years and I fall in LOVE with the expired products and then I throw them out and repurchase because I’m wasteful and used to by more makeup than I could wear.. some classics that I owned that didn’t make an impression on me but then I rediscovered them and fell in LOVE are: 1. It Cosmetics CC cream. The original, STUNNING on dry skin 2. Lancôme monisure’ (spelling?) mascara 3. Nars Creamy Radiant Concealer 4. Benefit gimmie brow 5. Becca Bronzer 6. Benefit Hoola Bronzer 7. Hourglass Ambient lighting powders (apply with fluffy brush over entire face and it gives the CREAMIEST glow! 8. Mac lipsticks in the shades, Angel, Cream Cup, Patisserie, Peach Blossom 9. Wet n Wild highlighters 10. Covergirl Advanced Radiance pressed setting powder (gorgeous) 11. L’Oréal Lumi Bronzer in the lightest shade 12. Mac blushes (forgot how good they were)

The lumiere foundation is my holy grail. I love it to bits. Cant wait to eventually try those primers and concealers. Love the video

[@robynklassen8232]

I use their regular translucent loose powder everyday, so lol YES I have a suggestion!! 1) Keep the lid screwed on, 2) give the container a good flip & dip upside down (to get some of the powder out of the holes, 3) flip the container right-side up, and 4) give the lid a couple good taps (to knock off excess powder from the lid so it doesn't fly everywhere when you open it). Voila! Just dip your brush in and tap the excess off back in the container. (Can I just say too that I was so glad to see you apply the powder the way you did? Targeted application with a smaller brush is 100% the way to use this IMO. I got off the baked-caked trend pretty early on and have been WAITING to see makeup channels use the powder like this - maybe Lisa Eldridge does, but I don't watch her often enough to know) But yeah, I was soooo happy to see this video! I absolutely love Laura Mercier base products and have been using them exclusively for years. They're the only ones that really work well with my combination skin, but I only discovered that when, having tried a number of products recommended by KZbinrs, I tried some samples from Sephora. It's always felt like such a shame to me that people seem to forget them. Their products are so good! Such a staple, and I'm so glad that they seem to generally be keeping things that way (I'm only 24 so I hope they keep things the same for a LONG time lol). I have their Blurring Pure Canvas Primer, their Oil-free Tinted Moisturizer, and the loose powder, and this combination holds up the best on my T-zone. I've been curious for a while to try that foundation you used today, so this video was perfect! Looks like it'll be a win for me. Thanks!

You look gorgeous dahling! As you were talking I was thinking about my collection & I really don't own any LM products! I've always been curious about their powder & I really love the caviar sticks, but yeah I don't own any! For under eye brightening / concealing & correcting lol, Milani has a new brightener/corrector that's a really nice formula (I think it's their supercharged packaging & this one has a light orange packaging. Also Bare Minerals came out with an under eye brightener/concealer that's a light cooling powder?!? Not just your avg powder, looks extremely smooth, pretty cool concept & neat technology. I'm jumping around a bit, but I do agree with you in that LM has stuck to their marketing/packaging & hasn't gone wild lol. I pretty much stick to contour & bronzing specifically for that (I have used a concealer tho & works just fine) Love you lots xoxo ❤

[@mlayne130]

I love the bronzer and highlight from LM!! They have been 2 of my favs for years now.. the highlighter is so creamy for a bride, but can be built up to be quite intense if you’re into that, especially if you dampen your highlighting brush! I’m so intrigued by the foundation and I’m honestly quite tempted to pick it up now.. 🤭
