Foundation: it’s either the literal base of your makeup routine, or you forgo it all together. I’ve long fallen into the latter group, but recently I’ve been wanting to look a little more polished. I haven’t found many foundations that felt comfortable, looked natural and stayed put throughout the day without caking, but right now I’m stocking up on this Laura Mercier’s Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Foundation (now $29, originally $49). For only three more days it’s a rare 40% off on Space NK.
The brand behind Meghan Markle’s “every day” tinted moisturizer, Laura Mercier’s Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Foundation is the brand’s longest-wearing, medium to full-coverage foundation, with none of the weight. The formula boasts a breathable and comfortable texture while flawlessly minimizing pores and imperfections. The natural matte finish controls oil, and it’s transfer, water, humidity and sweat resistant. Wear it for up to 15 hours with ease.
One shopper says it gives “great coverage” and shares “nothing [else] comes close.” Another reviewer who “worked a 12-hour shift in [86] degree [Fahrenheit] heat” recalls it “stayed on all day [and] didn’t even look as if it had moved.” A reviewer with “dry, sensitive prone skin” loves the “beautiful complexion” they have after using but recommends those with dry skin use a hydrating moisturizer underneath. Finally, a shopper with oily/combination skin raves it makes their skin “look airbrushed.”
For a Laura Mercier foundation that feels like a second skin for 15 hours, shop Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Foundation on Space NK.
