Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturising Photograph Edition Foundation Review

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturising Photo Edition Foundation  |  £35

I've been wanting this foundation for agesss but the master copy Silk Creme wasn't available inwards many colours. So afterwards a long hold back in addition to endless trips to Selfridges & spaceNK, inwards Apr they re-released an upgraded version of their Silk Creme for ii different peel types; the fossil oil gratis for the oily skins in addition to the moisturising edition for the normal to dry out types. 

Laura describes this foundation as;

"a long-wearing formula amongst a high paint charge that provides upwards to 12 hours of total coverage wearable piece feeling comfortable on peel in addition to hiding fifty-fifty hard-to-cover imperfections"

So how perfect does that sound? The extremely long advert basically agency it is long wearing in addition to photograph friendly- pregnant no white cast flashbacks (yay!)

I sampled Suntan which looked quite low-cal on my mitt but i time applied onto my human face upwards it was the perfect jibe (the lady at the counter did warn me nearly this therefore brand certain y'all motion out a few colours in addition to and therefore come across them inwards natural lighting exterior the shop or inquire for a sample to accept home).

With my dry out peel in addition to slightly oily t-zone, the foundation sinks inwards extremely well. Although I exclusively purpose a pea-sized amount every time, I ever experience that I demand to blend it inwards for longer than I produce amongst whatsoever other foundation- I stimulate got absolutely no thought why but that's non actually a con inwards my books.

It has moisturising benefits which is perfect for those amongst normal to dry out skin. It contains Shea butter in addition to silk poly peptide blend which prevents the peel from drying out in addition to keeps it looking in addition to feeling hydrated.

It's highly pigmented every bit stated inwards Laura's description therefore a piddling definitely goes a long way. It does a fabulous project of roofing the redness but about my olfactory organ in addition to pigmentation but about my oral fissure area. I hand credit to the coverage- I commonly tend to teach over my pigmented areas amongst a concealer but the foundation covers the areas really good leaving a radiant & dewy finish.

Despite the fact this foundation is medium to buildable coverage, it is super lightweight in addition to really natural looking. Like amongst all my foundations, I moisturise in addition to prime number earlier foundation application which I dear to utilize amongst my trusty dampened beautyblender inwards bouncing motions. The longevity of this foundation is amazing. It lasts all hateful solar daytime on my peel in addition to dissimilar other foundations which tend to melt off yesteryear the halt of the day, this does a fab project of staying inwards identify & I produce non demand to behaviour on up. 

Verdict
If you're looking for something that leaves a matte finish, in addition to therefore this is definitely non for y'all every bit it leaves the consummate opposite. It ticks all the correct boxes of existence long-lasting, photograph friendly, moisturising in addition to a flawless but natural finish. The exclusively downside I could retrieve of is choosing the correct colouring for your peel tone. Although at that topographic point are a mix of both yellowish in addition to pinkish undertones, I produce retrieve at that topographic point are big jumps (shade-wise) betwixt them.
