I usually don’t get on with liquid foundations. They can be sometimes too heavy, feel like a mask, and messy to apply. When I was first introduced to the Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation at my local Neiman Marcus store, I was a bit skeptical that I would actually use it. But to my surprise, I am loving it! It doesn’t feel heavy, greasy, and it makes my face look flawless and clean. Make sure you get your right shade, because it is crucial for getting that perfect complexion.
