We love that Laura Mercier are all about enhancing your natural beauty, playing up your best features subtly so that you still look like yourself – just better! BBx’s Grace met make-up artist Irene from Laura Mercier and shows you how you can get the look yourself:

I showed up with a freshly cleansed face and Irene prepped my look with the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, before applying their Tinted Moisturizer in Nude with her fingers, smoothing and blending over my skin.

She then got to work with a fine brush, pinpoint concealing imperfections and under eye discolouration using the beloved Secret Camouflage concealer, blending the edges with her fingers.

Next, Irene put on Eye Canvas in EC-2, followed by a shimmery shade that’s similar to my skin tone – the Luster Eye Colour in Gold Dust – you can apply this with a synthetic-bristled brush or with fingers.

Next, she buffed in a darker, matte shade Matte Eye Colour in Fresco into the crease to add definition. Blend with a big fluffy brush to avoid harsh lines.

Crème Eye Liner in Noir came next, a fine liner brush sliding close along the roots of the lashes with a small flick at the end. Lashings of their Long Lash Mascara followed – it gave my lashes serious length and I was so impressed by the long lasting, smudge-free formula!

My eyebrows were lightly filled in to add definition using a matte brown eyeshadow and brushed through with a spoolie.

The Créme Cheek Colour in Blaze was dotted onto the apples of my cheeks with fingers and then blended up. Lip Glacé in Bare Blush finished the look – a pretty taupe.

I went out for a meal with friends that night with my finished look and got lots of lovely compliments.
