Amid the sea of eye and cheek palettes, it is interesting how women aim for the ‘flawless face’ or the ‘barely there’ look. Essentially real beauty is anchored on smooth skin and the healthy glow that comes with the right loose powder and foundation shade.
World-renowned make-up artist Laura Mercier pioneered the “flawless face”. An art student in Paris, her creative passion pivoted towards painting faces. She moved to New York and etched her name in the fashion scene, working on major advertising campaigns, and editorial spreads, and even developed a roster of celebrity clients that included Madonna. She launched her “flawless face” line in 1996 emphasizing the significance of enhancing one’s natural features, amid the ever-changing trends in make-up colors.
To this day her Real Weightless Foundation and Translucent Loose Setting Powder are considered beauty must-haves.
Recently, Luxasia Philippines introduced the brand’s latest color shades the Caviar Eye Shadow Sticks, the Tinted Moisturizer Blush, and the High Vibe Lip Color. The Caviar Eye Shadow stick is a versatile cream color that easily glides on the lids. The pigment-rich shade is long-lasting, smudge resistant, and comes in shimmer, matte, or chrome finish.
For the barely flushed look, the Tinted Moisturizer Blush promises the just-pinched glow. Its moisturizing formula contains water-building compounds for weightless tint and hydration. The season is all about bright lips and vivid colors are achieved with the High Vibe Lips. Light-reflecting lip shades with supercharged pigments ensure comfortable wear for six hours.
Make-up enthusiasts can check out these new shades when they book the Laura Mercier Suite at Ascott Makati. Enjoy a weekend of beauty and comfort complemented by a refreshing afternoon tea for two from Mesclun restaurant.
