Hello, natural glow! This new foundation is a must for exhausted mums

Cathy Donohue

This new foundation is a must for exhausted mums because it somehow manages to disguise the fact that you’re permanently wrecked.

It’s designed to give a radiant, luminous finish which is exactly what you need after a night rocking a crying baby or tending to an upset toddler.

In a bid to find the ‘one’, the holy grail of bases, I’ve been trying a few options and one of 2019’s brand new launches is very intriguing.

Laura Mercier’s Flawless Lumière Radiance-Perfecting Foundation is designed to give a glowing finish that looks ‘luminous in any light’ and yeah, we can get on board with that.

Better still is the fact that the inclusion of Vitamin C results in “improved luminosity” after one week which means that even without makeup, you’re getting that glow.

YAS.

There are thirty shades to choose from so you should be able to find the perfect match for your skin tone and the medium to full coverage looks and feels like a second skin.

Speaking about the new launch, Laura said:

“I believe a woman is awless when she looks most like herself, when her essence comes through. Foundation should always fuse seamlessly with skin for the most natural look”.

Despite the fact that it’s hydrating, 15 hours in fact, it also caters for oily and combination skin which is very good news if you’re someone who loves that dewy-skinned look.

The addition of Super Crystal Clear Pearl results in a super fine texture with a flawless flat surface and ensures a strong light-reflecting look without the dreaded chalky effect.

Ideal if you’re over matte, heavy foundations that have a tendency to fade off in patches, aka the cakey look we all know and hate.

Laura Mercier’s Flawless Lumière Radiance-Perfecting Foundation is priced at €49 and it’s available to buy now.
