Best Matte shadows I have found
Urban Decay makes 3 different types of Eyeshadows. 1 is a metallic ( heavy on the glitter).1 is a shimmer (not as heavy but still too much for me)The last color is mattes. These eyeshadows from Urban Decay are highly pigmented which means a litte will go along way..I use foxy which is a matte Ivory and secret service which is a warm brown . These colors are true on your eyes and they will not dissapear like some mattes will.The ivory is a sheer matte color but if you add more, it will be more visible.This color is really good if all you want is a little bit of color and another plus, I use it to conceal slight blemishes and I use it to cover the dark area between the rim of the nose and the eyes. The brown ( secret service is my favorite to use in the crease and as a smoky color. It really has staying power even after hours of wear.
I love these eyeshadows . I am 45 and do not really get into glitters and shimmers anymore( except my new love 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil by Urban Decay) I use these pencils as a liner and they are beautiful.
Ladies , regardless of your age , if you love mattes or you just want a natural look, try Urban Decays Matte Shadows. They really work.If you want to get a better pic of them than what is on Amazon , go to Sephora. They have them listed and give you a description of what the color is..Hope you like them as much as I do..

Awesome stuff
I have been very impressed with Urban Decay products. This eyeshadow is no exception! A little truly goes a long way. I love the wide variety of colors, and the packaging is pretty neat-o. It blends pretty well too. I love love love it! :) (and no animal testing! yay!)

I love Urban Decay's quality
I typically won't spend more than the 5 or 6 dollars for a Maybelline. I love my make-up, but I don't see the point in spending more than a few dollars for it. That said, I bought four Urban Decay eyeshadows last year and have not regretted a single cent. I think I wouldn't go for anything more expensive, but these were worth each penny.

The colors are bold and vibrant and they don't fade for awhile, and still look very well when they do. They will eventually crease, but only upon close inspection can you tell. It never looks bad. A reviewer complained that it fell onto her face; that can be a problem, and if you use foundation, wiping it off isn't really an option unless you want to redo your whole face, SO: I suggest using your fingertip to apply (that's the best way to use it) without taking TOO much, otherwise it will still crumble. Just swipe it a couple of times instead of once if you don't like the shade; the color will intensify. It's velvety and coats over itself neatly. Some of my other eyeshadows dust or crumble when I do this. As long as you don't swipe up enough to see pieces, Urban Decay won't.

These are excellent eyeshadows and come in such a wide, attractive variety that Urban Decay wins as my favorite every time. I believe they are definitely worth what you pay for.

And as end note, because I so appreciate them from other reviewers, a run-down of some of the colors I own:

Polyester Bride: A shimmery absolute white, not creamy, with some glitter.
Cherry: a very pretty pink, but it looks more like a pinkish white once on. It's also got some glitter, but less than Polyester Bride.
Vert: A bright green shimmer that has a more of a sheen than a glitter to it. One of the best green eyeshadows I've found. Very bold.
Green Goddess: Same quality shimmer as Vert. It's almost like a green-silver, a bit earthy, I suppose very goddess-like. :) If you compare with Vert, it looks lighter, but it's just as bold. Much darker than the site shows, in person and applied.

Customer Reviews

Extremely shimmery...could be good or bad
I recently ordered three products from Classified because they were running a special if you bought all three: primer, shimmer & foundation. They just arrived today. I'll have to experiment some more, but I can definitely say this platinum shimmer is too shimmery. The Classified tips said to apply primer, then shimmer, then foundation. Seemed backwards, but I thought perhaps it was to tone down the shimmer. Well, I did it the way they said, and I'm VERY shiny even though the foundation is over top. Luckily I am going to be in costume for a school Halloween party, so it is not out of line...but it is too weird for every day. Maybe for evening, or maybe for decolletage, but not for the face, even when covered by a layer of foundation.

Tomorrow I will be trying just the primer and foundation and I'll put my review of that on the appropriate pages, but this shimmer is not really a keeper for me. I can only imagine how it would have looked if I'd done the foundation first, then the shimmer...ack!

The most wonderful product ever!!!!
I was pretty wary of buying this because of the price, but it really is worth it. The can has lasted me almost a year, and it's not even empty! It's wonderful! I have very oily, acne prone skin with rosacea, and this stuff makes me look like I have a flawless, beautiful complexion. And I'm not exaggerating. It feels like I'm not wearing makeup. I just can't say enough about it. This is the one thing that I couldn't live without. You need to try it!!!

I LOVE THIS
I was currently using Clinique's super balanced in Alabaster and decided I would try this ERA... not used to spending that much money on foundation but I am def. not straying now. I love this foundation.. I chose R2 and it matches perfectly. If you go to the ERA website you can put in your current foundation color and they will match you up with what you should be using for ERA. VERY EASY! I bought it from the Home Shopping Network and I think I only paid $36... save yourself some money, but def. buy this product!!!

Customer Reviews

Great product!
I've been using this for a few weeks and I'm very impressed by it. It looks very natural and does a great job of evening out the skin tone. It definitely makes the skin look radiant. The only issue I have with it is that it can settle into the pores. I have to use the primer underneath to prevent my pores from showing too much. It also works great when I mix it with my LM oil free foundation. It adds a little bit of 'brightness' to ordinary foundation without being too sparkly.

Awesome product!
Makes your skin look radiant and youthful and is not greasy. I love this product!

Works best as an additive to a long wearing foundation!
I Love love LOVE this tinted moisturizer! On it's own it's o.k., but do agree it can be a bit too sparkly worn that way. It does do a superb job at evening out my skin tone, though!

I might add that I own over 10 foundations (two Chanel, four MAC, two Clinique, other Laura Mercier etc..) and my favorite way to wear this tinted moisturizer, is believe it or not, with Revlon's Colorstay foundation!

It truly is my Holy Grail mixture. It achieves a brightness and subtle glow that lasts you literally all day long, which most other foundations that claim to be "dewy" or "radiant" lack.

Also, the tinted moisturizer has almost 2 oz, which you really are getting more money's worth as most foundations only contain 1 oz, so even though it's $42, you're almost getting double the product.

Oil Free Foundation - Vanilla Beige

Product Details

• Color: Vanilla Beige
• Brand: Laura Mercier

Customer Reviews

First foundation I've loved!
This isn't greasy or drying and the color match for me is great. I use Vanilla Beige and have had a very hard time finding a color that didn't turn ashey on me or look too yellow.
I'd recommend trying to find this foundation first locally so that you can be sure of the color. Sunny Beige did turn grey on me. That isn't to say it would do that on you, just that you need to try it in person (and give it at least 15 minutes to set) before you know for sure.

Excellent coverage
Along with Chanel, this is one of the best oil-free foundations I have ever used. It really gives a flawless coverage and the color stays true even after several hours. It is highly pigmented and the coverage is buildable so you can apply it sheer to heavy depending on your skin need. I have combination skin and I find that my t-zone doesn't get oily too quickly. Another thing I like is the pump bottle which is more hygienic. I find that my skin also looks great in photos when I'm wearing this.

However, make sure that your skin is well-moisturized because this tends to highlight dry areas. Also, if your skin is prone to breakouts, ask for a sample first to see how your skin reacts. When I first started using this, I ended up breaking out after a couple of weeks that's why I switched to Chanel. But I guess it's different for everyone because my friend, whose skin is more sensitive than mine, doesn't seem to have any problem. I'm currently alternating this with my Chanel foundation and so far haven't had any problems.

Feel like a STAR!
This is the first foundation I have ever truly loved! The first time I purchased this oil-free foundation it was hard to trust the rave reviews. Most foundations leave your face feeling oily and unclean, but not this one!

If I could give you one piece of advice about this particular foundation, it would be to purchase the setting powder along with it. The two go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. You just can't have one without the other. The foundation is amazing, providing flawless coverage, however I would be a liar if I told you that you will never experience "Makeup-Meltdown" with the foundation alone. That's where the setting powder comes in. Top off your look by sprinkling a bit of the setting powder onto a velour puff and give your foundation a velvet finish. With these two items, you'll leave your house feeling like a star!!

VERY good, but not quite great
This eyeliner really matches the description, it goes on super smooth and doesn't tug or drag. I was told at the counter that it was "water resistant" but it's really not. I used to wear it under my lower eyelashes, but by the end of the day, it would be totally smudged and gross. I would even try to put powder over it, but to no avail. However, in defense of Laura, I am over 40 and the fine lines below my eyes aren't friendly to many pencil eye liners. I was just hoping against hope that Laura's would be different! So, now I only use it over the upper lid!

Totally Addictive
This pencil in black turquoise is amazing. Not flat black, not cheap turquoise... more like a rich, deep, soft black with a teal undertone. You would never think turquoise once it's on, but it makes my brown eyes pop like nothing else I've ever tried. I was wearing it when I agreed to a free makeover at Bergdorf's in NY, and the NARS makeup artist was so intrigued she actually asked me what it was. When I said Laura Mercier, she murmured "no wonder." I have spent so much on cheap eye pencils that end up in the trash... no more. One of these every couple of months when I'm due for a treat! (Nothing from NARS even came close for the eyes, but I did buy their famous blush.)

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
OK, so I'm totally used to using a black eyeliner and I have green eyes and light skin, so I started to realized that it's a bit too much for an everyday wear. I decided to layer my black eyeliner with this eyeliner and WOW! I've been getting sooooo many compliments! It gives that unique glow to the top lids and if you line the bottom lid (back and forth light strokes) it looks even better. Good luck and I'm certainly hoping this color will never be d/c'd. I love getting Laura Mercier products because it alllways comes with some sort of a free gift and I end up buying it too!Goodluck!

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - Beige Ivory

Customer Reviews

Definately the best full coverage foundation on the market
All I have to say is WOW. I do not have bad skin, but from years of sunbathing, I have have a LOT of hyperpigmentation (dark spots). I have tried literally every foundation out there from MAC Studio FX, Stila, Bare Escentuals, Amazing Cosmetics, Lancome, Clinique...plus every drugstore brand (yes every single one!!).

I am a makeup fanatic, I love makeup, and many people state I should be a makeup artist-the one downfall has always been the inability to fully cover the dark spots up. There are so many that there is NO way I would have time in the morning to go through and get all of them with concealer. After the first 5 or so I get bored of "concealing" and start slapping on the foundation.

I have oily skin, and prefer lighter feeling foundations. This foundation went on very smoothly-I forgot to use a primer, but apparently this made no difference. So this foundation went on smoothly, and blended very very well. It does let your own skin somewhat "shine" through-I have a mole on my face which shows after the foundation was put on, however the mole didnt look as if it was covered in makeup. It gives you a luminous look, without giving you the appearance of enlarged pores (Which I do have). So once on-you have a wonderful healthy glow.

I put the foundation on at 5 am, and it is now 5 pm. It has stayed put ALL day, all I used was the last of my Bare Escentuals mineral veil to set it in the morning. Because of my super oily skin, usually by the end of the day my makeup has changed colours (turned darker from the oil), and has stopped providing full coverage.

I am absolutely impressed, I adore this foundation, and it makes my skin look absolutely flawless!!

Oh yes one last thing-I am asian, and this foundation actually has enough yellow in it to match my skin tone. I do not look orangey or pink (FOR ONCE).

If you want a full-coverage foundation-look no further this is the one!

This product is worth the price
I tried this product for the first time 3 days ago and am impressed with it. The coverage is flawless, luminous, and very natural-looking. Only a small amount of the product is necessary for great coverage. This product does not give a "caked on" appearance, and it performed well in humid weather.

Great foundation
I've looked high and low for a foundation that would provide great coverage without looking caked on. This is an excellent foundation, very creamy, easy to apply and natural looking on the face. A little goes a long way.

Lip Stain - Mulberry

Pretty colors
I bought "Mulberry" and "Sugar Violet". Both are beautiful colors that go on more sheer than what the color in the pot indicates. I thought the lip stain lasted a long time, even though I drank coffee all morning. I gave it only 3 stars because even though it's supposed to feel balmy; once the creaminess wears off, it feels dry on my lips.

Good on the go product !
Just bought this stain in the Mulberry color and I love it ! Lip stains are not meant to be an "all day long wear" product. It stays on longer than a lipstick but is sheerer and not as sticky as a gloss. Sometimes I just want to throw a little color on my lips and not have my hair stuck in it the first time I walk out into a breeze. I even applied this to my cheeks and it gave them a great glow !

A Powder to Lessen Eye Lines and Dark Shadows? Yes. Really.
Laura Mercier's heavenly and lightweight Secret Brightening Powder makes your under eye area look bright and naturally radiant. If you suffer from chronic dark under eye circles like I do you'll love how this powder weightlessly increases the coverage of under eye cover products while adding soft focus lightening and brightening. It helps concealer to dramatically reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles as it sets concealer to keep it in place all day!

Unlike other powders which can accentuate the look of dryness and lines in the eye area, Laura Mercier's specially formulated under eye powder gives a soft focus to fine lines and minimizes imperfections. The powder is ground to the micronised level so it won't settle in the fine lines to emphasize like other powders can so easily do.

Usage Instructions:
Keep in mind a little of this product goes a very long way. Pat powder lightly on the area of application without dragging or tugging across skin. Laura recommends using her Camouflage Powder Brush which I agree makes any powder applied in the eye area look softer and less heavy while guarenteeing a soft and even application. It helps you get just the right amount applied. Secret Brightening Powder is great under the eye where allergies, stress, and lack of sleep show up quickly. Ideally this is used to set Laura's Secret Brightener (a lightening brush wand highlighter), Secret Concealer (Laura's fantastic under eye concealer), and/or Secret Camouflage (Laura's famous and award winning camouflage coverup.)

Remember, if you get enough of anything packed on in one spot it will show up so only use a little bit. I recommend tapping the above mentioned brush into the fine film of powder on the inside of the lid. [With the lid in place, tip the jar upside down and then right side up again. When you remove the lid you'll notice a fine film of powder there.] Rarely do I need more than this. Even though the container is smaller than the average face powder, it has lasted me a very long time even with constant use. I also use it to set creme shadows and eye shadow bases with the end result being a very `clean' eye look that resists creases. The silky texture also makes applying powder eye shadow a dream! As a makeup artist I've used this powder all around the eyes of women of a broad range of skin tones (from pale Irish to deep African American) and different ages (from teen to great grandma) all having varying degrees of lines, bags, and dark circles and still got the same fabulous results every time. Secret Brightening Powder is also appropriate for all skin types. It's rare that one product works well on everyone.

Finer Points:
-Micronized Pigments provide a soft weightless texture that won't settle into lines . . . really.
-Silicone Polymers provide an out of this world, slippy, silky feel.
-White Transparent Pigment offers an invisible lightening effect on the skin without the look of ashiness. The formulation is so sheer that it works on any and all skin tones. Instantly opens up your eyes.

Great Stuff
I would never have tried this but for some glowing reviews on the Makeup Alley website. This is a very finely milled white powder with a luminous (not glittery!) sheen to it that gives the eye area a nice pop. I apply mine with a small eyeshadow brush over my concealer. I don't use the LM concealer, but I still get excellent results. This lasts a really long time since such a small amount is needed, so you get your money's worth. If you have dark circles, this is for you!

I'VE GOT A SECRET !

Ever come across something you're so delighted with that you can't imagine how you ever got along without it? My recent discovery is Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Powder. Her concealers have always been tops on my list, but this Brightening Powder puts them in the stratosphere!

This is an extremely light powder especially formulated to set concealers while maximizing staying power and coverage. In addition, it adds a lightness and brightness which is very attractive.

I was reluctant at first lest the powder settle into those "laugh lines" around the eyes. Needn't have worried - the powder is soft, silky, and feels like air on the skin.

Thank you, Laura!

Customer Reviews

Perfect Product
This product is wonderful -- well worth the double-digit pricetag. It does everything the package promises, but better than I expected! A few days after using the primer, I noticed a reduction in blemishes on my face because it acts as a barrier against dirt and oil. It also keeps my face looking fresh all day. I use it with Laura Mercier's Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer and the result is skin to DIE for!

Very Good Primer !
This is the first time that I have used a primer and today is the first day that I am trying this. So far it has kept my oily skin in check for 9 hours since I first put it on at 7 am. My skin is dewy but not oily and my makeup went on incredibly easy. I wear mineral makeup and had no application problems. This is definitely worth the price and the bottle is a really good size, so I know that it will last me awhile. By the way, A little bit goes a long way.

Harmless, but unnecessary product.
I don't usually bother to review products online, but felt compelled to do so when I read the other 5 star reviews of this product. I am 41 years old, and my skin is still fairly oily. I have minimal lines and sun damage. I do, however, still have breakouts, particularly from many skin products (moisturizers, sunscreens, foundations--you name it) on the market. My skin can be very sensitive, & my "product-related" breakouts are the under-the-skin, cystic, and very painful sort. After years of searching in vain for a foundation, I found and use the Laura Mercier oil-free foundation. It has performed perfectly on my skin. I decided to buy the oil-free primer to extend the hours the foundation would look flawless, although I never really had a problem with it wearing out. I suppose I bought into the Laura Mercier marketing deal. While the LM oil-free foundation primer did not cause breakouts, I felt it made my foundation last a shorter, rather than a longer amount of time. After the first two uses, I put it away for a month, using only the LM oil-free foundation. I tried it again, and this time I was sure....it made the foundation wear off my face more quickly than without it. Therefore, I would not purchase this product again...too much money to not enough performance.

Eye Basics - Wheat

Product Details

• Color: Wheat

Customer Reviews

Excellent Eyeshadow Base
I bought the Eye Basics in Wheat after trying out my friend's. It works very well as an eyeshadow base, and just as well on its own. My eyeshadow lasted much longer when I used the Eye Basics as a base. On its own, it covers up imperfections on the lid - veins, redness, etc. - and gives you a much more polished, awake look. Concealers are usually too thick for use on the lid, and this product was just perfect, not too creamy, not too thick. I did not notice any caking or creasing either. I've also used the lighter color, Linen, just on the inside corners of my eyes to brighten them up.

Love this product
This is the greatest eye primer around.I have been afraid to experiment with eye primer, for fear that they would give my 61 year old eyelids to made up and cakey a look.

Well I was wrong.This comes in a tube like the gloss lipsticks.It is very east to apply and does not cake, as well as it has botanicals in it that help the lids to appear younger.

I had the demo at the Laura Mercier counter and was very surprised at the result, so ordered this product.

The eye primers come in different shades and the one I have is Buff.It matches my skin tone and so does not appear thick on eyelids.And the bonus is your eye shadow really does stay on for all day, with creases or just fading away....

I will buy more....

Best Eye Base Ever
This is by far the best eye lid base I've tried and I've tried a lot! It goes on smoothly, covers dark spots, veins, etc.and even helps smooth out "the droop". Brightens the entire eye and is a neutral color. It also helps my eye shadow stay on all day. Perfect!

Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15 - Tender Rose

Product Details

• Color: Tender Rose
• Brand: Laura Mercier

Customer Reviews

flawless finish
Laura Mercier is my favorite line, because it is made with "skin sensitivity" in mind. If you want mineral powder, but want something different from bare minerals, this is it! The ultra-fine mineral powder sets my makeup (tinted moisturizer from L.M.) and creates a porcelain-like finish. I use it with a powder brush (you can buy the L.M. powder brush $52) or find a cheaper alternative, and lightly apply it in a circular motion all over your face, after doing my eyeshadow, and then I apply powder blush. It doesn't irritate my skin (as I have eczema), and a small amount of this goes a long way. The size of the container is almost as big as the base of your normal coffee mug, so that's a lot of product. And the container is good for travel because you can twist the inner cover to cover the holes which distribute the powder. So far, I've had mines since Feb. 2007 and I'm no where close to being done with it.

Light yet complete coverage, lovely!
tried this product thinking it would be like the other mineral foundations and powders I've tried, but was pleasantly surprised. I love the touted benefits of these products: healing your skin, preventing aging, SPF protection, etc.. but could never find one that didn't make me look like grandma with her pancake makeup (bless her heart). This one is a keeper. Made my skin look dewy yet flawless (meaning the coverage works!). And stayed on. I think my skin actually feels softer as well. No cons here. And the final clincher -- the price is so right.

LOVE IT!
I love love love love LOVE this product!! The coverage is great (though a little more full than I'd like), however it covers ALL blemishes perfectly. I recently had an AWFUL experience at the salon which left my face COMPLETELY broke out and this is the only thing that really helps to cover blemishes, even MAJOR ones. It's great, and it's good for you too!
