Laura Mercier (Skin Care)

Raised in Provence, France, Laura Mercier began her skincare and makeup journey at the age of 17. Specialising in makeup application, she attended the ever prestigious Carita Beauty Institute where she excelled in her classes.

It was here that she subsequently represented Carita as a makeup artist & makeup teacher, and worked quite closely alongside the renowned makeup artist Thibault Vabre.

Laura moved to New York in 1985 where she continued her life as a makeup artist but as a celebrity makeup artist working with people such as Celine Dion, Julia Roberts, and Mariah Carey just to name a few.

It was during this time that the idea to create her own cosmetics brand originated due to a dire need for several high-quality cosmetic products, particularly in the skincare and makeup range, that were always missing from traditional makeup marketplaces.

Unable to find the right mix of formulas, colours, and textures that she preferred, she began experimenting and mixing her own to fill that need. This created that flawless look that she had long been looking for. Thus in 1996, the iconic Laura Mercier skincare & makeup brand was born. The brand itself is grounded in Laura’s philosophy to create a naturally flawless complexion.

Her range of high-quality skincare and makeup products is designed to benefit women of all ages and skin types which lends itself to her global goal of satisfying the skincare and cosmetics needs of women today.
