Bee Charlotte Vossen for You Magazine
Published: | Updated:
A few weeks ago, i was getting my makeup done for a shoot in you magazine when the makeup artist pulled a tube of the Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Serum Concealer (£ 39) out or her kit. As someone who doesn’T wear foundation – my minimalist makeup routine comprises a few dots of concealer, some clear brow gel, a lick of black mascara and a swipe of blush and bronzer – my interest was piqued.
As the name reveals, this concealer has a serum-infused formula for a skin-like finish. It promises buildable coverage, A Natural Finish and Long-Lasing, Waterproof and Crease-Proof Wear.
I was having, as some would call it, a ‘good skin day’ that day. There were no blemishes or dark under-eye circles that needed to be covered up, so the makeup artist placed a few dots of the Laura Mercier Concealer Around my nose and on my chin to cover up some redness, and worked the product into my skin with a brush.
Impressed, I was impressed by the formula. It went on smooth, looked natural and offered just enough coverage to take away the redness whilst still showing my freckles. I took a picture of the label to remember the shade and placed my boots order later that night.
On a ‘Good Skin Day’ Wearing The Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Serum Concealer
That was nearly a month ago and i’ve been reaching for the Laura Mercier Concealer on My ‘Good Skin Days’. On days I have to cover the odd breakout, however, I can not help but go back to the tried and true NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (£ 27).
It’s the number-one selling concealer in the uk-and for good reason. I’ve repurchased more tubes of this product than I can remember because I just haven’t found a concealer that offers the same full coverage (one dot and the spot is gone) and staying power (it really lasts all day). And it’s not for a lack of trying.
A few concealers that have been reduced to my ‘good skin day’ pile include the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Concealer (£ 39; pricey but the finish is truly flawless) and the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer (£ 23; I’m say this is more of a brightener than a concealer).
Now, don’t get me wrong. I would not recommend any of the aforementioned concealers-they all offered light-to-medium coverage and a radiant finish. But Let’s Just Say This: If I had to play favorites, the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Would always come out on top.
