Ok, this primer is the BOMB. I have been on the hunt for a good primer for a very long time now. I’ve tried a lot of different primers and all and all they usually don’t do a whole lot for me. I love the idea of what they are supposed to do, but for the most part II’ve always been kinda disappointed. Until now. I am excited to say that finally, after much searching, I have found a great primer(s). Laura Mericer Radiance and Laura Mericer Radiance Bronze. They are both ah-mazing! The radiance bronze is brand new, just recently came out and I just got it at Sephora about 2 weeks ago. The only difference between the two is that the Bronze one has a bronze tint to it and the regular one is a beautiful light pearl color. I was tempted to post about it the day I got these, but I like to live with products, give them a few days or weeks and then report back, because at that point I know how I feel. I couldn’t love it more, and here’s why…
Here’s the breakdown
- Laura Mericer Radiance – has a beautiful light golden {with a tiny hint of peach} tint. Laura Mericer Radiance Bronze – has a sheer bronze tint that looks a dark at first, but blends out beautifully.
- Both the radiance and the radiance bronze have a gorgeous glow to them. They make you look like your glowing without being shimmery {hard to find quality}.
- Makes my foundation last and look great all day.
- The water based formula keeps it feeling really light on the skin, unlike most primers that tend to feel heavy.
- The golden pearl tint gives the skin a nice soft focus look.
- A little bit goes a long way – You don’t need much of this stuff. Which also mean that you get a lot of bang for you buck.
- You can put this primer on first and then put on you foundation, or you can mix it in with your foundation for a gorgeous glow and some great staying power.
The Laura Mericer Radiance Bronze, does have a tine but it is not only olive or tan skin, this will also do a great job of warming up fair skin. However, if you are super fair I would probably opt for the regular radiance one. The regular radiance one is great because it really brights the skin and gives such a healthy glow from within look. They are both so gorgeous, you can’t go wrong.
Oh and good news…If you order the radiance bronze from nordstrom, you get free shipping 🙂
Swatches of both
I’ve always been wanting to try the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, so I’ll keep you posted on that! Do you have a favorite primer that I need to try?
