Laura Mercer Makeup

rivermom · 02-11-2007, 06:36 AM

I finally placed an order this morning for bunches of face makeup. I had to order it online as the stores around my town don't carry it, ugh. Wasn't bad though since Laura Mercier's website is offering "free shipping" right now.

I ordered primer, two different concelers (eye and face), foundation, setting powder, and two lip items. ( I am really hoping this makeup is magic and will make me beautiful )

I have this really weird two prong pitch fork looking vein thingy right under the corner of my right eye. I've had it for years. (even when I was young). People, even strangers will tell me "your eye make up is running.". When infact I have to tell them "no, it's not my makeup it's a vein". I really get embarassed!!

So, I am hoping the eye concealer will help. I've tried so many over the years and have found nothing yet that truly works. At times, it's almost anything I use actually adds more attention to the veins.

I look forward to the makeup arriving so I can try it.

OOOOhhhh, Sheryl, what fun!! I really like trying out new makeup like this. I didn't get the setting powder. The clerk at the store talked me out of it. She said using the primer and foundation gives a bit of a powdery effect and you don't want to take away all of your glow and leave your face with a matte finish. A little glow looks more natural, healthy and youthful. She said if I wanted to use the setting powder, to do so very sparingly. All of the Laura Mercier, I'm finding, goes a long way. You use like half a small pea of foundation for your entire face.

I really love the concealer. I didn't really think that I needed it, but using it in the area under the eye near the nose where black shadows can appear really brightens your face and eyes. She did one side and let me look so I could see the effect.

I wore my new makeup to church this morning, and a couple of people commented that I really looked nice today. I didn't buy any new eye color, lip color or blush, just used my old stuff there, and I always use moisturizer, foundation and powder, so there was not a huge difference in what I had applied other than it was Laura Mercier instead of Oil of Olay moisturizer, MaxFactor foundation & CoverGirl powder, but I can tell a big difference in how I look, and a couple of people seemed to notice, too.

Marilyn, I am so glad you are enjoying your makeup! I love it! Now that I know the website is offering free shipping, I might have to splurge and get me some new things! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still anxiously awaiting for mine to arrive. I can't wait to try it. I'm such a girly girl and love playing w/ makeup, facials, stuff like that.

I have never ordered something online and tried to match my skin so I honestly don't know! I know the foundation primer is AWESOME! You could get that and then some concealer....the secret concealer that you put under your eyes is AWESOME! That would be easier to match I think. I also love the foundation powder. I use that everyday and only use the foundation on special occassions. I also love the Eye Basics....it is like a foundation you put on your eyelid before you apply your eye shadow. It is AMAZING! Makes your eyeshadow stay on all day with NO CREASING!

thank you !! I know I asked you before but wanted to get more specific - maybe I should go to the mall and see first - but they have free shipping and that's a great deal on their site too - I'm going to look again and see and I'll let you know what I order -

The foundation primer is the product I think is the most Awesome!! It evens out you skin and fills in imperfections before applying your foundation. The Silk Cream Foundation is supposed to be a full coverage, but it's very sheer. When I have the primer and foundation on, I don't look made up. My skin looks smoother and natural. I'd like to try the powder. As I said before, the clerk talked me out of it. I may order online and see how I like it.

BTW, Villette, I'd never have been able to order the right colors online. The lady in the store was very helpful in finding the correct shades.

I like Laura Mercier MUCH better than the Bare Minerals. Totally different products.

We have this brand new outdoor fancy mall that was recently built. One of the stores is this chic make-up/fragrance store. They carry sooo many brands of make-up yet not Laura Mercier. They told me they could order it for me but I couldn't see the point of it.

So i had no choice but to order online and then take my chances on picking the correct color. Their website described each color w/ your skin tone so I am not too worried about picking the incorrect shade.

I do wish though that this make up would arrive, it seem's it's been ages. I am anxious to write my own testimony about it.
