| Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation |
Today I want to review a recent product that I have been absolutely loving! A few weeks ago I was introduced to the Sephora + Pantone Color IQ. Let me tell you.. It might not always work to your exact skin color but It definitely worked for me. If you wish to understand more about this machine please read the review that I posted a few weeks ago here. This foundation was one of the products that it recommended me with my foundation number 4Y07. I have yellow undertone and my skin is normal to combination. And of course as seen in the image above this is the Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in the color Bamboo Beige for light to medium skin and also a bit of yellow undertone.
This product is thick and not runny. I like that it does not run but some people may not like that because it does not give that dewey finish. To me this foundation has a bit of Matte and dewey look to it. It does require a finishing powder because I do find that my face gets a little oily throughout the day with this foundation on. But what attracts me to this foundation the most is that it covers my acne well and it matches really well with my neck color. Usually we all have trouble finding the "right" foundation because either our face will look lighter than our neck or darker or more yellow than the neck for those who have yellow undertone.
If you want a medium to full coverage I would recommend this foundation because it is buildable. I like to use a sponge with this foundation instead of my Sigma Angled Kabuki brush because it gives the face a smoother canvas. You can try using both brush and sponge to see what you like better but I personally prefer a sponge because this foundation is not runny. Usually when I use a runny foundation I will use my kabuki brush.
The only disappointment is that it has no SPF and having SPF in your products to protect the face is very important. It would be nice to have even if its only SPF 10 or 15.

Above is a swatch of the Laura Mercier foundation and I used Benefits Hello Flawless Cheers to me Champaign to compare the colors. As you can see the color Bamboo Beige is more grey and the Cheers to me Champaign is a lot more yellow. Cheers to me Champaign is suppose to match me but it is too yellow for me therefore I had to return this foundation.
Overall when I got this product I thought it was a little expensive for $43 but because it matches my skin so well and it covers so well, I thought it was worth every penny in my wallet!
I hope this was useful and has helped you! Enjoy <3 p="">
