Love Laura!

On an endless search to find the perfect under eye, eyelid, and blemish concealer....I finally reached the conclusion of a beautiful face story with Laura Mercier.  All 3 areas require a different type of formula for an even toned, natural and clean look.

Under eye...has to conceal the dark circles with a shade lighter than your natural skin tone which you can blend down to match the face and cover and set with translucent powder.  Most important...it HAS to be a creamy consistency or it will 1)not blend well = raccoon eyes 2) look cakey or flaky and 3) get in between any lines (wrinkles...gasp!) you may have.

Blemish/Discolorations...drier consistency here works...because you do not want to highlight what you are trying to cover with even the slightest bit of shine

Eyelid (which means right under the brow bone, not the actual lid)...while the formula itself is up to you...this is where you go a lot lighter in shade than you think to really perk up and brighten your peepers. 

So here I am....NEVER have I ever wore foundation that just manages to even out the entire face in one, and now requiring 3 products to do the job!  After lots of trial and error with concealer I finally stopped looking when I found Laura Mercier.  I think they are absolute experts when it comes to foundations and concealers...they have figured out not only what formulas work best where but also exactly how your face will and should take to them regardless of you skin tone or problem areas.  If you are ever shopping for a new product that covers imperfections, I suggest a quick drop by at the Laura Mercier counter!  I promise you will not only find your perfectly matched shade but will also find a product that delivers what it says it will.  There is a reason they call their line "FLAWLESS FACE". 

For under eye I use...

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer

Moisture rich and will not set into any lines and wrinkles.

For eyelid and discolorations I use...

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage

http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Concealers_Secret-Camouflage_prod220004?currentSkuId=sku120002#ColorSampleLink_sku120004

I use the lighter shade on the lid and the darker on any discolorations.  Just got lucky on that 2-in-1!  Secret Camouflage is a best seller and top rated on most beauty sites/magazines.  It's a dry consistency so do not use under eye!  Otherwise...a flawless face awaits!

I also use Laura Mercier's Primer on my eyelids before applying shadows.  Primers are AMAZING and a must for shadow staying power and flawless (love that word!) application.

Finally to set my under eye concealer I use...

Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder

 Just the slightest, lightest touch!  It might last me forever.

I know everyone has their favorite face products...but if you are ever in the need for a new pick me up...I suggest giving Laura Mercier a visit!!  Warning...they are pricey.  But for me, this is basically how I clean up my face and try and look like I'm not wearing a thing (before I add more goodies on top:).  

And so, I gladly say....Flawless Awaits....
