UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: LAURA MERCIER

Celeb makeup-artist Laura Mercier founded her eponymous beauty range in 1996. Makeup-artist Erik van Hulten is a dedicated collaborator with the much-loved label. He tells us why.

Why has the brand been such a hit? Laura Mercier has done incredibly well at creating innovative products: her primers, tinted moisturisers, and translucent powders are enduring bestsellers. Three Laura Mercier essentials? 1. The primer. This helps keep foundation looking fresh all day. 2. The secret camouflage: it hides any imperfections 3. The translucent powder. This classic will set makeup, mattify skin, and is available in a new glow formula. Favourite Laura Mercier product? I love the Caviar Stick eye colours. They are easy to use, versatile, and great fun. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Jungle, R595; Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in 30, R575; Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Glow in Translucent, R945, all available at Skins

MATCH FIXING

It now includes the Intense Rescue serum, which is packed with lipid and antioxidant power, and repairs the skin barrier for stress-free, hydrated skin. You can choose to combine the serum with the Age- Delay Advanced Crème or apply it alone as an intense concentrate. The range also includes a resurfacing lotion and age-fighting eye treatment.
