New.
Laura Mercier, the pioneer of Foundation Primer, introduces a breakthrough radiant formula to the collection. Creating the ultimate canvas for foundation and makeup, Foundation Primer — Radiance offers no additional color to skin yet provides a sheer, healthy glow.
I was so eager to try this new Foundation Primer as a sample from a Sephora bonus gift. I have had success with the original formula of the FP, and wanted to see what the new Radiance would be like. Sadly, this just doesn't do it for me. It feels completely different from the other types of primer I am familiar with. The glimmer/sheen(?) doesn't look very appealing on my skin. I know one of the suggestions was to wear it with bronzer on top (no foundation) but I only apply primer when I have to wear a full face of makeup. I like the idea other reviewers had on the 'candlelight' effect, so maybe I will keep this around when I have an evening event. Otherwise, I will remain faithful to the original FP.

THIS IS A GENIUS PRODUCT--candlelight in a tube! I love and use many Laura Mercier products--foundations, skincare, tools-- but have never reviewed one--or any product--but this is so fantastic I have to thank Laura for it! *Users of the other primers or Secret Finish may be surprised by the slight peach tint, but it disappears into the skin leaving the most wonderful glow--like candlelight. It is especially great to smooth down onto the neck and decolletage--it makes that transition from face to neck seamless, and gives a nice soft focus to the neck and upper chest. *I used it generously on a black tie night , but use the sparest amount for daytime use--you can tailor it depending on the occasion and the light. *Under my cream foundation, it is absolutely perfection. *if you don't want to wear any makeup at all, it works very well--and I prefer it to--a tinted moisturizer. Shadows just disappear, and you can use over your own sunscreen. *I dust just my midforehead, nose, and chin with powder after using this---my makeup holds until I remove it. THANK YOU LAURA MERCIER! (And for my beloved "Dusk" lipstick, too....)
