Who’s a Laura girl? This is a term my best friend and I made up when we became fans of Laura Mercier products years ago. A “Laura Girl” is a girl that loves Laura Mercier products. More importantly, she’s a female who wants to look and feel beautiful, yet not appear like she’s wearing tons of makeup. 

A few years ago, during one of my trips to the Middle East, I wanted to share my love for the brand with a friend, but was so disappointed that I couldn’t find any of her products. Then I found out that Laura Mercier is now available in the Middle East, so I thought it my absolute duty to share my favorites with you.

1-Tinted Moisturiser- If you decide to buy only one Laura Mercier product, then this is a must. This was the first product I ever used from her line, and it’s the perfect everyday makeup. It evens out skin tone and hides imperfections, and it’s super lightweight. My mom loves it too and women of all ages can use it. If you like heavier coverage, no problem! Just add a couple more layers.

2-Primer- Whether it’s with her foundation or with another brand, every time I wear her Radiance Primer I get asked what foundation I am wearing. It gives you that inner glow that looks like natural skin. I also love the bronze version, to fake a tan. 

3-I know every beauty blogger swears by the translucent powder for under the eyes, but believe it or not, I don’t really use that one. Instead, I just like her creamy concealer called the Laura Mercier Secret Concealer. Another reason I love her product line is that I feel like the shades look great with my olive Middle Eastern skin tone.

4-Othen than her makeup line, I am obsessed with her fragrances and lotions. I love the vanilla fragrance so much, that I wore it on my wedding day. Her line literally smells like heavenly baked goods, but not in an overpowering way. Men will stop you on the street to ask you what scent you are wearing, true story!
