Her Translucent Loose Setting Powder comes in two colors, clear and deep. She also had some lovely mineral loose shimmers which I was sad to see discontinued.

OG Laura Mercier fans will remember she used to have tinted loose powders I used to use Beige and her Stardust. I really hands down just prefer the classic beautyblender.Ī look at her three of her loose powders. No matter how I held it I found it hard to apply. It has a shape designed to help you work with the contours of your face or get foundation into detail areas. It has a really nice bouncy squishy feel but I found the shape really awkward to work with. They also sent their new Flawless Finish Sponge which I was really excited to try. My favorites are her Radiance and Primer Protect with SPF 30.

Laura Mercier has a wide range to suit different skin types. In general I try to match the brands foundations with their primers because they’re often formulated to be compatible with each other. Swatches of the Flawless Fusion Foundation, Flawless Lumiere and Flawless Concealer (all colors of concealer swatched here):įor application I find the Laura Mercier bases work best with her primers. I could have also gone with one of the W colors like 2W1.5 in Bisque, but it was just a tad too light. At the store I did a couple more side by side comparisons between formulas and it seems most of them run darker in the luminous formula but I’m not sure if this is the case across the entire shade range. In the matte Flawless Fusion I wear Buff 3N1, but in the Flawless Lumiere I wear a lighter shade Latte 3N1.5 – by this naming convention it would seem like 1.5 should be darker than 1, but in both formulas if you swatch them side by side for some reason you’ll find 3N1.5 slightly lighter and more yellow/gold than 3N1. One was too dark and one was too light so I went to the counter to shade match myself.įor shades across different formulas I found that the new Flawless Lumiere runs a bit darker than the Flawless Fusion. On shade matching the Laura Mercier team sent me my normal shade Buff 3N1 and one lighter color Cashew 2N1 as press samples. I’m normally in the W range for yellow tones but some of the options are a little too yellow and I find N works best for me. Shade options come in C for cool, N for neutral or W for warm. The Flawless Lumiere has a natural finish with a lot more coverage compared to her Tinted Moisturizer. For me her Tinted Moisturizers simply don’t work well in Florida humidity (it’s too dewy and too luminous). It definitely has a more hydrating luminous feel to it but isn’t too dewy and has no greasy feeling.

Coverage is medium but buildable to full for me. The new Flawless Lumiere Radiance Perfecting Foundation by comparison is a lot more luminous. The Flawless Fusion is long wearing, matte but not flat, and the color range is pretty good. Finding a good matte finish is hard for me because my skin tends to look better in something with a little glow. It’s natural full coverage with a matte finish. Looking back at the archives I’ve been using this for almost 2 years now and it’s one of my favorites for humid Florida weather. To date my favorite Laura Mercier foundation has been her Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Foundation. Several of you have been asking for more swatches so I have it in today’s post for you! The powder launched last year but I never did a dedicated review (you can see it on the face in this post with a full makeup look). Both the powder and foundation are crazy good for a flawless luminous finish and I find both are still suitable for normal/combination skin even with the luminous finish. The new foundation is probably my favorite that I’ve tested this year. I’ve been working my way through some new foundation launches and today I have a review of the new Laura Mercier Flawless Lumiere Radiance Perfecting Foundation ($48 for 1 oz/30 ml) along with her Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Glow ($39 for 1 oz/29 g).
