Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation Review



I bought this foundation quite a while ago. I always seem to have a love hate relationship when I try new foundations. I never like them straight away and this was no exception.

Unfortunately I don't have very good skin to start with, not because of blemishes (spots/pimples) but I have freckles, pigmentation and a lot of redness...and being pale doesn't help! I am always looking for full coverage to have so I have a flawless complexion and that is what you get with this foundation.

In the above picture I am not wearing any powder or concealer which is quite amazing. I have the shade "Cream Ivory" which is the second lightest....I'm not entirely sure why I went for this colour as it is WAY too dark for pale skin although it is perfect when I have a little bit of a tan on. I am thinking of testing out the "Soft Ivory" so I can wear it everyday.

I like to apply this foundation with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush - you do need to blend this in well because it is a quite thick consistency seeing as it is a creme. A little bit goes a long way with this foundation. I do find this colour it is very yellow based which I actually like because I feel it counteracts my redness. You can see me apply it in my Getting Ready With Me video here.

Cost:  $59 AUD.

Coverage: Full.

Packaging: I like the simple packaging of this product. Very easy to carry with you as it's a tube.

Wear time: I find this lasts around 7-8 hours before you need to apply some powder to take away the shine.

Repurchase?: Definitely. I will be getting the lightest shade soon.

Overall I am very impressed with this, as are a lot of other beauty bloggers I have seen recently. If you are looking for a true full coverage foundation, I would recommend this for you.

Have you tried this foundation? What did you think?
