Social media, especially TikTok, has become the go-to place for the latest trends, and a new favourite makeup product has popped up, grabbing the attention of both makeup aficionados and those who were a bit unsure at first. Enter Laura Mercier‘s Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation, a luxury foundation that promises a super lightweight formula and skin like finish. As someone who leans towards minimal makeup on a daily basis, I was intrigued to test it out as soon as it landed on my desk.

First Impressions: Beyond the Hype

At first glance, the new lightweight foundation is all about luxury, not just in its sleek packaging but in the promise it holds within. Described as a weightless, waterproof, and long-wearing foundation, it walks the fine line between matte and dewy; available in an array of 30 shades, it’s clear that inclusivity is at the heart of its creation. The viral testimonials praising its blurring, the super-lightweight formula had set a high bar, yet scepticism remained. Could this foundation really deliver a flawless glow without the heaviness associated with traditional formulas?

Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation Review

Transitioning from my usual skin tints to this viral foundation felt like a leap of faith. Known for preferring a more natural, skin-like finish, I was curious to see if this product could indeed offer the best of both worlds. A little goes a long way, and true to word, a single pump was sufficient to achieve an even and radiant finish that lasted throughout the day. The consistency was creamy yet not thick, akin to the serum-like tints I favoured, blending seamlessly into the skin.

The application was easy, as expected, whether with hands or a denser brush. Each method left a skin-like finish that belied the medium to full coverage. The foundation’s formula is a dream for those with dry or combination skin, offering a boost of radiance without a cakey finish. For my oily-skin friends, while the foundation is non-comedogenic, a touch of translucent powder may be necessary to matte down the T-zone.

The Verdict: A Staple for Special Occasions

Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation will find its place in my beauty bag for weekends and special events rather than daily use. For everyday wear, I remain loyal to a simpler routine of concealer and tinted moisturisers, however,  the new Laura Mercier Foundation has undeniably earned its spot in my collection for when that extra touch of perfection is desired.

For those standing on the brink of curiosity, my advice will be to venture to your nearest Mecca, and experience the magic firsthand. In a landscape crowded with fleeting trends and endless options, it’s great that this viral foundation truly lives up to its promises.
