Let me start by saying that I am just gonna be blunt and honest with this blog.
I read InStyle’s magazine a couple of months ago about their 140+ best beauty buys. I was curious about their reviews on foundations so I tried what they said was the best. That product was the Laura Merciers oil free foundation cause I’ve got really oily skin. They said that “it sinks into skin nicely” I tried it and have to say I DISAGREE!!!
First of all when I put it on my finger tips it was really thick, I don’t like thick. Second, once I put it on my face it dried within seconds, and I mean it dried. I called one of the department stores where they sold the product and asked them why it does it and how to fix it, they told me that Laura Mercier is known for having to apply the makeup with a pad that it moist. That would mean, I would have to wet the pad (which I had to buy) apply the foundation to the pad and put it on my face and blend. Now let me say, that didn’t work! It took more time to put it on than I was willing to do, not only that it still dried just took a little bit longer to dry like lets say 5 seconds longer.
Needless to say, I returned the product and went with Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Lite! I LOVE IT!!!!! Oh I will say and recommend that if you are looking for a primer, go with Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I swear by it!
