Products

From the outset, Laura Mercier Cosmetic's goal was to offer "high-quality, natural-looking makeup products for all skin tones and types", according to the Wall Street Journal.^[2] The brand became known for its focus on products to create what it calls the "flawless face",^[3][4] a concept derived from Mercier's reputation for promoting naturalistic makeup. In 2012, it became the official cosmetics brand of the second season of Project Runway All Stars.^[5]
