Laura Mercier Flawless Contour Palette
In all honesty, I am one of those who are intimidated by cream contour and highlight products. Firstly I live in Dubai and the climate is generally humid most of the year. Secondly, because up until recently, I could never seem to make cream contour work for me.
I was so excited to be sent this beautiful Laura Mercier Cream contour palette because I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.
In the palette are 3 contouring shades and 2 highlight shades. This palette is expected to be in stores on September 6th.
The packaging is quite heavy – nearly a pound, which is a lot for the small size. Approximately 4 inches by 3 inches of thick cardboard material. It has a strong magnetic closure that seals the palette securely. I really enjoy the delicate artwork on the cover. It reminds me of a vintage French boutique.
FIRST IMPRESSION – These are CREAMY so I already know they will blend easily but I feel they won’t have that full on staying power. They are creamy, which I like, it means you don’t have to be expertly exact with the product because you can easily work it to where you want it. It also looks like it has a demi-matte finish. There is absolutely no shimmer and these are completely cool toned which is PERFECT (that means no orange!). The contour colors are spot on. Laura Mercier has done an amazing job with this.
The lid of the palette has a little mirror which is always handy but then behind it is 4 instruction cards which is so helpful. They explain how and what to do with the product.
These are a great idea, so useful but also handy as they just slide back behind the mirror completely out-of-the-way.
Available at: Bloomingdales for $69 or AED 265
