Laura mercier luminous foundation11/5/2023 ![]() Third time lucky right? Rose Ivory’s a good match, only I’ve found that when I look at myself applying it in natural daylight, the undertone is a little too pink for me. The lighting in the shop is very different from natural daylight – I know this all too well! At the counter, I made it absolutely explicit that my skin is lighter than the lady thought it was, and so I was matched with “Rose Ivory” this time, which is the shade I currently use. I really recommend that, especially with a pricey luxury foundation, even after the lady matches a foundation for you, that you take a sample home. Okay then, next time I’ll get a lighter shade! The next shade I purchased was “Beige Ivory”, which I still actually own – the good thing about this stuff is that you only need to use a little due to its fairly thick consistency and medium coverage, so one tube lasts well over a year – oh hang on, I’m applying this in natural daylight and what a surprise – it’s STILL darker than my actual skin tone!!!! This time, thankfully, the difference between my skin tone and Beige Ivory wasn’t too noticable, so I decided to stick it out for a little longer.īack to the Laura Mercier counter again. This time, I swore to myself that I’d get a sample of it first so that I could try it on at home and wear it about. I first bought Silk Creme in the shade “Medium Ivory”, which really opened my eyes – wow, this foundation is great!…only towards the end of its use my mother bluntly pointed out to me that my face was a whole different colour from my neck. Trust me when I say I’ve been loyal – a few years ago, I decided I was grown up enough to invest in my first proper grown-up foundation, after rookie years of switching from one high-street foundation to another, all of which had dismal results. Laura Mercier, the brand that brought beauty bloggers & makeup artists alike the cult product that is Secret Camouflage, has made me loyal to their Silk Creme Foundation, which cost me £34 you can buy it from John Lewis, all the high-end department stores…or just online. I believe that foundation is an investment – and whilst I’m all for high-street – there are some foundations that do the job just as well as luxury – sometimes it’s worth the hefty price-tag for that quality that’s just so hard to find with foundations.
