If you watch me on YouTube or follow me on Twitter you have heard/seen me obsessed with trying Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation. I finally got my butt to Sephora on Friday to get a sample. I got 2 different colors:
Rose Ivory
Cream Ivory
The girl at Sephora said she thought Rose Ivory would suit me better, so that is the one I tried on Saturday.
Here is my face freshly washed and moisturized:
You see the blemishes and some pink and redness. Now here is after applying the Laura Mercier:
My face isn't completely flawless, but the foundation has given me pretty nice coverage. Here I am with the rest of my face done:
I've been trying to remember what I used on my eyes, and I think I used some of my Madd Style Cosmetix pigments and my Naked 2 palette. On my lips is my new favorite, Smashbox gloss in Pout. And here I am with hair done (I swear my bangs don't look that uneven in person) and my husband wanted to be in the picture, too:
This stuff photographs GREAT, but in person it turned cakey on me, and also made me incredibly shiny. This really made me sad because I had such high hopes for it. Good color match, didn't oxidize, didn't break me out, pretty good coverage, and stayed on until I washed it off....but for $42 a bottle and to be cakey AND shiny, I will have to keep looking for that miracle foundation. Does that even exist?
Have you ever tried Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation? Do you have a holy grail foundation that does it all-good coverage, doesn't break you out, great price, and performs well?
