This Laura Mercier foundation, smooths fine lines, imperfections, helping create a base for your foundation, it has a creamy and smooth consistency. It also smells nice and feels lightweight on my face.

I purchased a Born This Way foundation which I really like and was using a silicone based primer, however my make up wasn’t really looking the best it could be. I decided to use this Laura Mercier primer under my foundation and it’s really changed the way my foundation sits and how long my base lasts.

Primers are often missed out of our make-up routine, thinking we don’t need one then wonder why our make-up doesn’t sit well on our face or doesn’t look fresh by the end of the day. In particular, going from warm weather to drastically colder, I’ve noticed the importance of having the right primer.

The way primers and foundations work well together goes back to the primer/foundation relationship. The formula of the two need to match, if you want to use a silicone or water-based foundation then your primer needs to be the same.
