Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder review

Photos: c/o Laura Mercier “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” color #5

Laura Mercier “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is a new line of finishing powder from Laura Mercier! This new collection of foundation powder is offered in a large variety of skin tone’s and can act as a powder or a foundation; or both! Love that!

I tested out color #5 and loved it. On a daily basis I prefer to only wear powder. I usually wear foundation and concealer for special occasions or at night. My skin is acne prone so I have always found the less I put on it, the better! I love Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” because you have the option to apply it light, medium or heavy. The powder offers a lot of coverage without showing any traces of itself on the face. Love that!

In the video below I show how I applied Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” with a powder brush. My application was light to medium. The powder instantly covered my uneven skin tone due to sun damage and also my acne. As a thirty-something, covering up my acne is imperative! Acne is embarrassing at my age!

The “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” by Laura Mercier can also be applied with a sponge. If the sponge is damp you can use it to apply the powder in lieu of liquid foundation. When dampened, the sponge with the powder offers full coverage; as if you were wearing liquid foundation but without the weight!

I am really excited to use Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” on a daily basis. It is really easy to apply, overs a lot of coverage, is lightweight and is really fast to apply! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is priced at $45 and can be found online here, here and here.
