I love having a good foundation, but I hate having to have multiple foundations for when I want a different look. Even though my favorite would have to be a liquid, I still love having a powder for days that I want something light. I was recently introduced to the new Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder and it is my new favorite foundation!
This new foundation is not only a great powder, but if you add water to the puff applicator it turns into a liquid! It is an oil-free formula that is long wearing and is waterproof! I put it on in the morning for a conference and it lasted until we got home that night. I couldn’t believe how long it lasted, or how well it covered!
Using it as a powder does not give you as much coverage as it does when used as a liquid, but either way it is light and creamy all day! I cannot believe how soft and silky it feels! You can tell immediately that it will feel great on your skin! I have wearing makeup that I can feel all day because I end up touching it and messing it all up. So light weight foundations are a must for me. Not only that but I must have something that won’t further break out my skin or cause any extra oil production. It is very hard to find anything that covers well but doesn’t make the problems I am trying to cover worse.
Another great thing about this makeup is that it comes in 20 different shades. I have very light skin and my skin does not do so well with any foundation that has too much orange in it. I swear that their is too much orange foundation out there! Of course with Laura Mercier I am never let down with the quality or the shades of colors. They are always right on target!
Also, check out my vlog about the Becca Cosmetics One Perfecting brush while using this foundation!

I don’t think I ever really used foundation but of this I am certain-I would prefer a powdery form! I like that this one can be used either way.

That makeup really blends in nicely on your skin. My Granddaughter has a lot of trouble with breakouts so I bet this would work nicely for her.

I have always had trouble getting a good, lightweight coverage from a foundation. This one definitely sounds like it does the trick!

That looks like it blended well with your skin. I am always hesitant to try new makeup products as my skin is sensitive & can breakout easily.

It looks like it really blends well with your coloring. It’s not always easy to find a powder or foundation that looks so nice.

I don’t really use foundations or powders. I tend to break out whenever I use powders so very rarely use it. This sounds like a good product though.

This foundation looks amazing!!! I was just thinking its time to switch to a lighter color as I’m not outside and getting tanned so much now that it has turned to fall. I am intrigued with this… Thank you!

Not knowing much about Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder I did a quick search. It has great reviews and is cruelty free. This seems to be a very nice product to promote. Another nice post by Star Focal!
I haven’t tried this brand yet. I really should. It looks amazing. And I like how easy it is to apply.

I don’t like to used foundation because it is hard to find the perfect color for my skin. This has 20 different shade, cool! I will check this out.

I like that’s light, and I like that it comes in 20 shades!
This foundation looks like it blends really well. I have had problems with that in the past.
I have not found a powder that does not magnify the fine lines around my eyes. If it is a light powder though, it might work.

I prefer liquid foundation personally, but when there’s nothing else i turn to pressed powders!

I’m a MAC girl, but I’ve loved Laura Mercier eye and lip makeups before – I’d be interested in trying this! I hate pure liquid foundations, as well as pure powders. I am all about these kind of combos.

I am always struggling to find the right kind of foundation. Either it is too dark or too light. I try to use powder whenever possible..

I’ve heard great things about Laura Mercier foundation, but it’s never in my budget. Maybe i’ll splurge on it for the holidays.
