Lovelys, I was so excited to receive the Laura Mercier Flawless Lumiere Radiance Perfecting Foundation in Influenster’s January voxbox. This is a brand new foundation formulation that launched recently last month, hyped to be medium to full coverage while providing skin hydration and luminosity. I received shade 1N1 Creme which was a pretty darn close match to my surprise! I couldn’t wait to get this on my face. Keep scrolling to hear more.

The packaging is gorgeous, sleek slim glass bottle with a pump that I can appreciate and control even by doing a half pump. I start with a few dots on my face since the consistency is a bit liquidy. It blends out well with my kabuki brush without any tugging or streaks.

The coverage is good as I didn’t need a whole lot of product. It evened out my complexion without feeling heavy. I would say this is more of a medium coverage foundation even though I wear my foundation between sheer to medium. This would be a great light everyday foundation if that is what you are looking for.

The finish was matte right after application and it looked a bit light on my skin. After I was done putting on the the rest of my makeup, I did notice the color oxidized and now looks like my skin tone. The foundation feels very light weight and my skin felt breathable.

With 12-hours of wear, my skin still looks semi-matte with a bit of radiance to it. I noticed there was not much shine coming thru my foundation which was great. Oh forgot to mention that I did use the gel primer that came with the foundation. This held my makeup in place considering I do not use setting powder.

My face did not get dried out from this foundation and there were no flakes. I am impressed at how it retained the hydration considering I have normal to dry skin. There was no caking, settling into fine lines, and no clinging to dry patches. Looks pretty flawless on my skin and long wearing for the most part.

Thank you Laura Mercier and Influenster for sending me these complimentary to test / review. All opinions are my own.
