With so many products to choose from, finding the best Foundation can be a daunting task. Sometimes, it would require you to spend so much money before settling for the best. That’s definitely the case with me given my skin issues. However, after reading about the Flawless Lumière Radiance-Perfecting Foundation by Laura Mercier, I was very much tempted to try it out.

If you are eyeing this foundation, this post is for you!!

What did I like about it?

I am never been the one who fancy light Foundations because of what my skin needs. I definitely need coverage on my acne scar spots but at the same time I want a natural finish. This foundation surprisingly delivered this result!

Although the product is light, I can easily put on more product on areas that I need more coverage. Since the foundation applies evenly, I still get to have a smooth finish even though I don’t deposit the same amount of product throughout my face.

I tried using this with different primers, concealers and setting powders and it seems to still work the same. It blends smoothly with any product that I use it with.

The color payoff is also good. I have the shade Ecru which compliments my skin tone really well. It does not oxidize at all which is really amazing!

What didn’t I like about it?

Although this foundation works well on the “good areas” of my skin, I find it a bit problematic in my dry areas. It tend to cling and looks patchy on my dry spots which are my chin and the corners of my nose. However, I can easily fix it by blending it with a buffer brush which may take time.

The Swatch

This foundation looks thick and slightly fluffy but it actually applies light and weightless.

The Verdict

Overall, I would rate this foundation an 8.5 out of 10. It obviously has its own pro’s and con’s but it does what it claims and so I am fine with it. It’s also fair that it lasts about 8-9 hours in my observation which is pretty standard in most foundations.

Since I love wearing scarves, turtlenecks, and whites this Winter, I am also impressed that I did not notice any messy transfer from this Foundation. Although I can’t say that this is perfectly transfer-proof since I still notice a little bit of transfer to my fingers whenever I accidentally touch my face.
