Review : Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage

I have very very much shitty skin (thank you my house doctor!) and I invest too much time to conceal my pigmentation on my cheeks and on my jaw line. When I was watching videos on youtube in order to get some tips, I tumbled across this make-up artist called Lisa Eldridge. Not only she has the velvet voice of a therapist,she's insanely gorgeous and she's the make-up artist of celebrities, she is humble enough to share her knowledge about make-up (don't we all need a push to feel better sometimes?)

Enough said. watch her here. You can thank me later.

Mrs Eldridge was using Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage to pin conceal her flaws, and, I had to try it for myself of course. So I rushed to the only place in Amsterdam that sells Laura Mercier products, and paid an eye watering 39 Euros to get the product. For my defence, I was desperate not to look like I've been attacked by bees and also punch in the face.

I never get why but so called make-up artists in Amsterdam never give me the proper shade. I'm a MAC NC20 (rarely NC15 too sometimes) and in every shop I go to, they try to sell me one or two shades darker than my skin tone. Why? I absolutely have no idea. There was a period that I looked like I had a dirty face.

That being said they sold me LM Secret Camouflage in SC-3. The product comes with 2 different colours, one has pink undertone whereas the other is more yellowy. You have to mix-match to get the tone you need. It's a very dry product so you have to warm it first on the back of your hand before applying it, if you don't it looks ridiculously cakey. You must invest some time before wrapping your head around how to use this product properly. It could be your best friend or your worst enemy. Also it's too dry to use it under the eye, you have to mix it with a moisturiser (why not this?)

I think this is a beautiful product, just like other Laura Mercier products and it'll last you forever due to its consistency but when I will run out of this I won't purchase it again but will give a try to Ben Nye red neutralising concealers, better investment for my poor wallet.
