When I first tried Laura Mercier cosmetics, it was because I heard everyone raving about the tinted moisturizer and concealer. Quickly, Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer became one of favorite go-to products. It’s perfect for those times you don’t want a whole lot of makeup, but need a little help to even out your skintone.

Laura Mercier concealers are top notch too. You can select the Undercover Pot which combines the award-winning Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer in one compact. And below the compact, you’ll find the Translucent Loose Setting Powder to finish off your look. Jennifer Aniston, among other celebrities, is a big fan of the Undercover Pot.
