Laura Mercier Indiscretion Illuminator

Laura Mercier Indiscretion Illuminator

Over the last couple of years, I’ve developed deep love for highlighting and illuminating powders.

I don’t have a whole lot of Laura Mercier products in my collection, mainly because after trying one of the makeup sets a few years a go (primer+concealer+tinted moisturizer kind of thing) I developed a severe allergic reaction and that sort of made not want to try any more of their products. Thanks to Sephora’s amazing return/exchange policy, I was able to return that set and get my money back.

Few weeks a go though, I was talking to someone who just couldn’t shut up about this limited edition face illuminator from Laura Mercier. I loved how it looked on her, but I still had my doubts since I had a bit of a bad experience with the brand. I finally decided to get it and all I have to say about this illuminator is: gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love everything from the packaging that includes a huge mirror, to the soft and stunning formula.

Laura Mercier Indiscretion Illuminator ($42.00) has a soft, rose-gold shimmer that’s very easily build able. The formula is finely milled, soft and not chalky, so you don’t get any product fall-out like with some other highlighting and illuminating powders. It doesn’t take a lot of product to bring out that gorgeous, natural glow in your skin, but at the same time there is no need to worry about the product looking too shimmery. Laura Mercier Indiscretion Illuminator does have that rosy-gold color to it, but it looks beautiful even on my light skin tone. It’s also a very long-lasting product, it stays put for good eight hours which to me, makes it worth the price.

I love the light texture of this illuminator, it doesn’t feel heavy or overpowering on the skin. If you have large pores, I’d recommend that you be careful not to apply too much product, as it can emphasize them at times.

I’m definitely very much impressed and I think I’m ready to try more Laura Mercier products. Do you guys have any favorites?
