Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with makeup lately, trying to get that “flawless” look everyone talks about. I stumbled upon this “Laura Mercier Flawless Face” thing, and, well, it’s been a journey, let me tell you. I decided to give it a shot, thinking, “How hard can it be?” Turns out, harder than I thought, but hey, I learned a few things along the way.
First off, I started with the basics. I grabbed a creamy concealer, just a shade lighter than my skin tone. They say it works better than the liquid stuff for covering up those dark circles under your eyes. And yeah, it did a decent job. I just dabbed it on, trying to blend it in without looking like a cakey mess.
Then came the fun part – the eyes. I’ve always been terrible at curling my lashes, but I figured, why not give it another go? So I clamped down on those lashes with the curler, held it for a few seconds, and… they actually looked a bit more awake! I quickly grabbed my mascara and wiggled the brush through my lashes, root to tip, just like the tutorials say. I even tried to tease the inner lashes toward my tear duct, which felt weird but made my eyes look a tad bigger. I felt like I was actually getting somewhere with this whole makeup thing.
It’s important to keep hydrated, so I took a break and made myself a cup of green tea, which also gave me a moment to take a step back and see how things were coming together. Not bad, I thought, not bad at all.
Next up, I wanted to tackle the whole complexion situation. I mean, sleep has been a luxury lately, and my skin definitely shows it. I remembered reading something about getting enough sleep to avoid dull skin and dark circles, but who has time for that, right? Anyway, I found this Laura Mercier primer and thought I’d give it a try. It felt pretty smooth going on, and I hoped it would, you know, magically erase all my imperfections.
I dusted some of that baked powder on top, which, by the way, feels super lightweight. I was aiming for that “natural, I-woke-up-like-this” vibe, but I think I ended up looking more “I-tried-really-hard-this-morning.” I even tried the white eyeliner trick on my waterline, which is supposed to make your eyes look brighter. Did it work? Maybe a little. I squinted at myself in the mirror, trying to decide if I looked any better. It was a subtle change, but hey, I’ll take it.
Then I moved onto the lips. I went for a simple nude lipstick because, honestly, I was too tired to deal with anything bold. I lined my lips, filled them in, and blotted with a tissue. Not too shabby, I thought. I was starting to feel a bit more put together, which was nice for a change.
Results
So, did I achieve the “Laura Mercier Flawless Face”? Honestly, not quite. But did I look better than when I started? Definitely. I mean, I didn’t look like I’d just rolled out of bed, which is a win in my book. It’s all about practice, I guess. And maybe investing in some better lighting for my bathroom.
- Concealer: Made a noticeable difference with the dark circles.
- Eyelashes: Curling and mascara actually worked! Eyes looked more open.
- Primer and Powder: Skin looked smoother, but not exactly “flawless.”
- White Eyeliner: Subtle brightening effect.
- Overall: Improvement, but still a work in progress.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure with the Laura Mercier stuff. I’m no expert, but I figured I’d share my experience. It was kind of fun, even though I made a few mistakes along the way. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it eventually. Or maybe I’ll just embrace my natural, slightly tired look. Who knows.
