Foundation Woes Solved

Summer is hot, and for some humid. Whatever climate, if a woman wears foundation she has problems. During the day even the best foundation fades, streaks, gets blotchy, and creates a myriad of visual horrors.

Sigh a sigh of relief, problem is solved: Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer.

Like a painter "primes" a canvas, this product primes the skin. A lightweight, creamy gel meant to be used prior to foundation. It creates an invisible layer and acts as a buffer to outside elements. The colorless gel leaves makeup looking fresh and true to color the entire day.

The primer comes in oil-free and hydrating versions for oily and dry skin types. For a nice wake up call in the morning, keep the primer in the refrigerator. When applied the cool gel helps tame the morning puffies.
