What is Foundation Primer - Foundation Primer is a colorless gel that provides a barrier between the skin and foundation to ensure freshness and long-lasting color. Laura saw a need for several products missing from the traditional cosmetics marketplace and launched the original Foundation Primer in 1996. Select from 3 different formulas and choose the ideal Foundation Primer for your skin's needs.

Directions: Place a dollop-size amount into your hand and stimulate the skin by lightly massaging in an outward and downward motion.

Tips: Place the Foundation Primer in the refrigerator before use; the coolness is extra refreshing and helps reduce puffiness.

What is different about Laura Mercier Foundation? Laura feels that women should look as natural as possible, so she created her foundations to be used only where needed or in layers to provide buildable coverage.

Directions: Using a dampened sponge, work the foundation from the outer portion of the face inwards towards the nose area.

Tips: If you have short hair or wear your hair back, massage a little foundation into your ears to ensure a natural look.

What is a Secret Brightener Pen? Laura introduced her Secret Brightener Pen as a weapon to fight dark circles, reduce shadows, and minimize discolorations by providing product that uses light reflecting pigments to highlight dark areas instead of covering it up.

Directions: After applying Foundation Primer, lightly stroke product on wherever needed and lightly "tap and roll" to set it into the skin.

Tips: To open the eye area and illuminate the cheekbone, apply the Secret Brightener to the lower temple, moving inward towards the apple of the cheeks.

Which concealer is right for me? An exclusive to Laura Mercier, Secret Camouflage is formulated with a high level of pigment so your skin will achieve complete coverage with little product use.

Conceal under the eye area with Secret Concealer, an emollient formula that will not dry out the skin. It is to be used under the eyes only.

Undercover combines two essential Flawless Face products, Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer, to ensure a perfect, natural look all day.

Flawless Fix Pencils are formulated to be used anywhere on the face for hard-to-cover blemishes and touch-ups, or as a lip line perfector to mask uneven or undefined lips.

Directions:

Secret Camouflage - After applying Foundation, use a Secret Camouflage Brush to drag through both pans of product, then warm and mix the two colors on the back of your hand until you find the shade that matches your skin tone. Apply using feather-like strokes then "pat" the product lightly with your fingertips.

Secret Concealer - With the Secret Camouflage Brush use feather-like strokes to apply under and on the outside corner of the eyes.

Undercover - First apply Secret Camouflage to the darkened areas of the face - blemishes, shadows, scars, the area around the nose, shadows under the bottom lip and any other imperfections your foundation does not cover. Next, apply Secret Concealer to brighten and minimize darkness and shadows around the eye area.

Flawless Fix Pencils - apply a small amount with a sharpened pencil tip directly to the area and gently blend with a clean fingertip. To create well defined lips lightly line just outside the natural lip line prior to applying Lip Pencil and Lip Colour.

Tips: Laura suggests looking in a mirror with the best available natural daylight and apply Secret Camouflage where you see a shadow.

What is Secret Brightening Powder? A lighter-than-air powder designed to set Secret Brightener Pen, Secret Camouflage, and Secret Concealer while adding an invisible lightening boost.

Directions: Using the Camouflage Powder Brush, pat powder on any area needing lightening and brightening.

Tips: Use Secret Brightening Powder to set Eye Basics leaving a beautiful, clean look for a perfect base for Eye Colour application.

Which Loose Setting Powder should I use? Laura recommends that everyone set their makeup with Translucent Loose Setting Powder because it has no color pigment and will not distort the color of your makeup. To add a slight hint of colour, use Ivory for fair skin or Beige for medium skin.

Directions: Saturate a Velour Puff with the powder and gently press the puff in a rolling motion to work the powder into the skin.

Tips: To prevent emphasizing lines and shadows, only use pigmented powders to flatted surfaces, never around the eyes or mouth.

What does Secret Finish do? Secret Finish gives the skin a radiant and healthy glow after makeup application or as a refresher for skin anytime throughout the day.

Directions: Place a small dollop of product on your fingertips, rub gently so that the product spreads evenly over the fingertips, and gently pat onto the desired area of the face.

Tips: Use a small amount around the eye area to prevent it from looking tired and dry throughout the day.
