Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Waterproof Foundation

I wore this through a full workday and then went straight to dinner, and my makeup still looked surprisingly fresh. The coverage held up without feeling heavy on my face.

Most long-wearing foundations feel like a mask on me, but this one is much lighter. I can get the coverage I want without feeling like I have a thick layer of makeup on.

2N1 Cashew blends really naturally into my complexion. I was especially happy with how seamless it looked around my jawline and hairline.

2N1 Cashew has been a great everyday shade for me. Once it's blended, my skin looks even and polished without losing all of its natural dimension.

I got caught in the rain walking back to my car and immediately assumed my foundation would be a mess. When I checked the mirror, everything was still in place.

I've been using less product than I normally would with foundation because a little goes a long way. I start with a thin layer and only add more around the areas where I want extra coverage.

My skin gets oily around my nose by the afternoon, but this doesn't seem to break apart there the way some of my other foundations do. I just lightly powder that area in the morning.

I wore this for family photos and loved the way my complexion looked in the pictures. Everything looked smooth and even without that obvious heavy-foundation finish.

I'm in my late 40s and don't want a base that makes every little line more noticeable. Applying this lightly with a damp sponge gives me a really flattering finish.

This survived a hot outdoor event much better than I expected. I was definitely sweating, but my foundation didn't turn patchy or disappear halfway through the day.

2N1 Cashew gives me a really nice balance between coverage and a natural look. I can still see my actual skin instead of feeling completely covered up.

I've tried this with both a brush and a sponge, and it looks good either way. The sponge gives me a lighter everyday finish, while the brush helps when I want a little more coverage.

My biggest issue with foundation is usually how it looks around my nose and chin after several hours. This stays much more even in those areas for me.

I wore this to a summer wedding where I knew I'd be outside for part of the day. Between the heat, dancing, and a very long night, I was impressed by how well my base held together.

This is one of those foundations I can wear when I need my makeup to last but don't want to feel like I'm wearing a ton of product. It feels comfortable, blends easily, and gives my complexion a clean, finished look.
