Celebrity moms love Laura Mercier

- Cecile Van Straten -
Ever wonder how some celebrity moms manage to look good, juggling both career and motherhood at the same time?

Some of them rely on Laura Mercier products, popular for its Flawless Face cosmetics and skincare line.

The Flawless Face philosophy is simple: Laura Mercier believes "making your skin look perfect is the first and most important thing you can do to achieve a truly great look. The key is to enhance your natural beauty – accentuate the positive."

Laura Mercier began her training in makeup and arts as a teenager in France. In 1985 she moved to New York and worked on advertising campaigns and editorial spreads for magazines including Elle, Vanity Fair, Glamour, and Seventeen.

Her CV is quite impressive, having worked with celebrity moms like Madonna, Susan Sarandon, Calista Flockhart, Heather Locklear, Catherine Zeta Jones, Meg Ryan, Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox, Kate Moss, Uma Thurman, Demi Moore, Jodie Foster, and more.

In 1996 she developed her own line to benefit women of all ages and skin types. Her line, which includes skincare, bath, body, and fragrance is now available worldwide, and locally at Rustan’s Essenses.

Some of her celebrity mom fans include Sarah Jessica Parker, who loves Secret Camouflage, which "covers blemishes, blends and doesn’t look like you’re wearing anything."

Sarah used Laura Mercier’s entire Fairy Tale collection, including her Lavender Mist Eye Colour (P895) formulated with French cashmere talc for a silky, luxurious feel. It glides on evenly and smoothly and can be layered for a more intense look.

Angelina Jolie favors Laura Mercier’s Brunette eyebrow pencil (P 645). This smooth, blendable pencil offers a lesser degree of pigmentation to achieve subtle, hair-like strokes. Its triangular shape offers an excellent grip for precision and even application, and its creamy formula won’t crumble during application.

Gwyneth Paltrow bought the Translucent loose setting powder (P1,550) and puff from a Laura Mercier counter in New York City. Using the finest French cashmere talc, this sheer, silky powder looks and feels natural, creating a "soft-focus" appearance that smoothes fine lines and imperfections.

The translucent powder contains no pigment, so there’s no caking or distortion of makeup colors.

Teri Hatcher relies on Thickening and Building mascara (P745) for full, luxurious lashes without any clumping.

The brush is designed to curl and separate lashes and the mascara is enriched with vitamins A, E, C and glycerin for conditioning. Safe for contact lens wearers.

Julia Roberts uses the Tinted Moisturizer (P 1850), a sheer, lightweight moisturizer with a protective SPF 20 sunscreen and a hint of color that can be used in place of foundation. Its natural finish adds a healthy glow to your complexion.
