Laura Mercier is among the world’s successful and renowned make-up artists. She has created an eponymous line of cosmetics, skincare and body care and bath products to give every woman the opportunity to look her best. She has worked on the faces of some of the famous women on the planet.

Growing up in Provence, France, Laura Mercier attended painting school in Paris at the age of 17. Upon deciding to paint the human face instead of the lifeless canvas, she reserved herself a seat in the famous beauty school, Carita Institute, to learn the art of make-up application. After working with the well-known French make-up artist Thibault Vabre, Laura moved to New York in 1985 when she was asked to join the launch of American Elle. Here, she got a chance to work with reputable cosmetics and clothing brands like L’Oreal, Maybelline, Victoria’s Secret, Gap and Banana Republic. After much struggle and working with many acclaimed companies, the year 1996 paved the way for her very own line of beauty products for women of all ages and skin types. Today, Laura Mercier’s makeup line is available in over 400 stores in 21 countries. What began as just a cosmetics brand has expanded to include fragrances, skincare and bath products.
Laura truly believes that in order to achieve a perfect make-up, the face should be like a fresh canvas – flawless and impeccable. Bearing this in mind, Laura Mercier has developed a line of cosmetics that allow a woman to have smooth, unblemished, even-toned, and natural-looking skin. Her signature product is the four-step Flawless Face, which is a step-by-step regimen that starts with the application of Laura Mercier Foundation Primer followed by the Laura Mercier Foundation and Secret Brightener Pen. Succeeding this is the use of concealers like Secret Camouflage, Secret Concealer Undercover and Flawless Fix Pencils. The last step involves applying the Secret Brightening Powder and the loose rich-in-natural minerals setting powder.
From tinted and illuminating moisturisers to concealers, Laura Mercier beauty products include everything. The brand’s range of eye and cheek make-up includes eye colour pencils, eye shadows, eyeliners, mascaras, blushes, cheek illuminators and rouges. Bath and body items range from moisturisers, scrubs, exfoliating products, masks, body soufflés and cleansers. The key to achieving a beautiful face is to enhance the natural while accentuating the positives and this is exactly what the Laura Mercier beauty products do.
