Laura’s first step to flawless face is to prime the skin- which I know a lot of people tend to skip. A face primer helps in creating a perfect canvas in preparation for makeup application. Although the most popular from Laura Mercier would be their original foundation primer, they also came out with several variants to target specific needs, like hydrating, mineral, oil-free, and with SPF. Today, I’m reviewing Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Oil Free, which I’m pretty sure oily-skinned individuals, like me, would love to know if this product can actually work for us or not. šŸ˜‰
