Product Review! Laura Mercier's Silk Creme Foundation

0

So since my regular Lancome Teint Idole Foundation is back ordered till February, I decided to take a stroll through Nordstrom to see what they have currently on the Market. I've actually really wanted to try this foundation since I've been hearing good things about it (but I couldnt seem to part with my Teint Idole!)

A few key things you should know about this foundation:
1. It's a medium to full coverage foundation
2. It's extremely difficult to blend with a brush and will produce streaks, so its best to use a sponge or your fingers (I use my fingers since I dont have sponges)
3. A little goes a long way!

I swear the first time I tried using it, I used waaaay too much and it ended up heavy on my face and blocked all my pores.

First set with your daily moisturizer and primer combo and then dot this around your face and blend with your fingers. This way, you'll get a more even coverage. Even though this was a full coverage foundation, I found that it was actually extremely light on my face compared to other full coverage foundations such as Smashbox's High Definition Foundation. It did not clog my pores and my face actually didn't get very oily throughout the day and it still looks amazing at the end of the night. I would def. add this to my list of back up foundations in case Teint Idole ever back orders like this again or discontinues.
