Laura Mercier Silk Crème foundation has been a big hit in the blogger world and I can definitely see why, this is now my favourite foundation. I went to the Laura Mericer counter in House of Fraser the other week to pick this up and got colour matched to the shade 'Cashew Beige' which is perfect for my skin whether it's natural or I have some fake tan on. It only took one application for me to fall in love with it!
Silk Crème foundation gives a 'flawless natural coverage' which I totally agree with. It has a medium to high coverage without looking cakey and leaves the skin with a gorgeous, luminous glow. I love applying it with my Real Techniques buffing brush, it gives it such a flawless finish. The best thing about this foundation is that because it's so pigmented you only need to use the tiniest amount, less than half of what I'd usually use which means it will last much longer before I have to (and I will) run out and buy a new one. It also lasts all day on my skin without needing a touch up and doesn't leave me looking shiny after a few hours (bonus).
Although a lot of people have said they don't need powder with this foundation, I have an oily t-zone and couldn't imagine not using powder so I do use a little of my Rimmel Stay Matte. I tried to take photos of me wearing it but my camera ran out of battery, so you can see me wearing it in this post here.
As it's a higher end foundation it is a little pricey at £33, but to be honest I think it's totally worth it. I usually like to spend a little more on foundation anyway and I definitely recommend this particular one. Have you tried Silk Crème foundation?
