Laura Mercier
Raised in Provence, makeup and skincare expert Laura Mercier draws inspiration from the classic French aesthetic- sophisticated yet effortless. An artist at heart, Laura began studying painting at 17 but soon shifted to makeup, attending the Carita Beauty Institute and becoming a makeup artist and teacher.
In the mid-80s, Laura relocated to New York City to launch the American edition of Elle magazine. In addition to helping bring American Elle to life, she created industry-defying looks for Vogue, InStyle, Vanity Fair and Glamour. She was the magazines’ go-to makeup artist for high-profile covers and editorials. Her groundbreaking Flawless Face techniques effortlessly captured the natural beauty of her subjects and established her legacy for flawless artistry.
Frustrated by the lack of ideal products, Laura began mixing her own formulas, leading to the creation of the Flawless Face and, in 1996, the launch of her namesake brand, Laura Mercier. Inspired by her clients' needs, her products were quickly acclaimed for their ease, versatility and natural results.
For over two decades, Laura Mercier has revolutionised the beauty industry with award-winning products and cult-favourite formulas. You can shop a range of her iconic products at BrandAlley, including the Caviar Stick Eye Colour, Pure Canvas Primer and iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder.
