Laura Mercier's brand philosophy is simple and straightforward, with a focus on a flawless makeup look and a lightweight, breathable feel. Although LM highlighter does not belong to the base makeup series that the brand has always been good at, its performance is also remarkable, and it is a very important product in the beauty industry.
LM Matte Radiance Baked Powder is a baked contour powder. This kind of powder cake is made by baking and baking powder process, which has the advantage of being easy to take the powder, but the water content is less, the added binder is insufficient, and the phenomenon of flying powder is more serious. When taking it, pay attention to gently dip it with a highlighter brush, and then shake off the floating powder. Due to the low water content, the color rendering of the highlights is relatively good, and it is very easy to color. Matte Radiance Baked Powder comes in 5 shades, with the exception of highlight-01, which is a highlighter.
The LM Roasted Highlighter is a champagne colour with fine shimmers, light and silky to the touch, with a slightly rough powder to the naked eye, but a much more delicate finish on the face, without highlighting pores or magnifying facial imperfections. Champagne has always been Asian-friendly and versatile, making it an insurance option for beginners. The baked highlighter upper face has a matte finish, which is not as eye-catching as pearlescent makeup, but it is more realistic and natural, and there is no oily shine. Baking highlights are practical and can be used for both partial and full-face highlights, as well as for full-face brushing or layering of blush. The LM Baking Highlight does not come with a brush, and the user can choose the highlight brush to match. In addition, this product is easy to use, easy to operate, and has zero makeup application, making it ideal for makeup novices.
In addition to baking highlighters, LM launched another highlighter product in 2016 – Face Illuminator Highlighting Powder. Compared to Matte Radiance Baked Powder, Face Illminator Highlighter Powder has been formulated with an improved formula that leaves little to no fly and lasts longer. The high-gloss box is square box-shaped, and the powder cake is water ripple, which is beautiful in appearance. A total of 5 colors are available in North America, which can be purchased as a single piece or as a combination plate. Most of the shades are on the dark side, not suitable for Asians' yellowish skin, it is recommended to choose Devotion, which is pale pink with pearlescent light, suitable for autumn and winter use, to create a dewy skin look. The disadvantage of the product is that the box body is slightly thick, and it is also not equipped with a brush, which is inconvenient to carry around for makeup.
LM does not have a counter in the mainland, nor does it have an official website or official flagship store in China, so users can find purchasing agents or overseas shopping. The price of Matte Radiance Baked Powder and Face Illminator Highlighter Powder is about 280 yuan, and the specifications are 7.5g and 9g respectively, which have a large capacity and are very durable.
