One of Molly-Mae Hague’s go-to beauty brands, Laura Mercier, has just launched three new primers that combine skincare and makeup to help your makeup last up to 12 hours
When it comes to your makeup routine, everyone knows that a great primer is usually the first step to helping create a smooth, flawless application. However, some quite simply don’t play well with your skincare, and can cause pilling or patchiness no matter how carefully you apply your foundation.
That’s why Laura Mercier has just launched three brand new Pure Canvas Primers that act as the last step in your skincare routine and the first step in your makeup one all at once. The three new launches help lengthen your makeup’s wear time and boosting your skin’s appearance over time by moisturising, protecting and smoothing in one go.
The brand, which is known to be one of former Love Island star and beauty guru Molly-Mae Hague’s go-to’s, has dropped three different versions of the new and improved Pure Canvas Primer, £39 here. You can choose from blurring, hydrating and illuminating options depending on your skin type, with each one including more than 85% skincare ingredients in its formula.
They contain the brand’s skin-perfecting complex which has an exclusive blend of rose extracts that work to boost hydration levels whilst also smoothing skin and protecting it from external aggressors. The new range of primers also helps keep your makeup in place for up to 12 hours, and you can pick between travel-friendly sizes or full size 50ml tubes.
The blurring primer is silicone-free and ideal for oily skin, smoothing over your skin with a silky formula that leaves a soft, filter-effect veil on your skin. Leaving your pores looking airbrushed and mattifying shine, it’s the perfect base for foundation, and helps to minimise the appearance of blemishes whilst also absorbing extra moisture.
For dry skin sufferers, the hydrating option is also silicone-free and enriched with olive extract and marine hydra botanicals, locking in moisture and helping your skin look smoother and more supple. It also nourishes and replenishes skin, targeting any dry patches that can leave your makeup looking cakey or flaky.
Finally, the illuminating option is ideal for those of you who love a dewy, lit-from-within glow. It contains porcelain flower extract and micronised pearl blends which help give your complexion a radiant, healthy glow, with the pearl reflecting light to even out and liven up tired-looking skin.
If you prefer to ditch heavier makeup bases like foundation during the summer months, the PCA Skin Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45, £40 here, is the perfect way to combine essential skincare with a subtle radiant tint. It not only keeps your skin protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays, but the tinted formula helps give skin a lightweight, natural-looking coverage that’s perfect for evening out skin tones.
If hydration is your summer skin gripe, Superdrug’s B BB Cream, £12.99 here, gives your skin 24 hour hydration as well as SPF 30 protection, making it perfect for the sunny days ahead. It also helps enrich your natural complexion and even out your skin tone, giving you a healthy, luminous glow and enhancing your natural complexion.
It’s official – summer skin is in!
