There is one little quirk to this foundation. Do not pair it with Stila's BB Cream, which is basically a foundation primer. I'm not sure why, but the two don't seem to like each other and the result is orange foundation with spotty coverage after about 6-8 hours.
With any other primer (or lack of primer) this foundation looks perfect for 12-14 hours and doesn't change colors. I've found myself reaching for it over and over.
Laura Mercier
Hey Christine, I've heard that Laura Mercier also kept this foundation silicone-free. Please say it's so! There are too few silicone-free foundies on the market.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any on the ingredients list, so unless I'm overlooking something I think it is silicone free!
ReplyDeleteIt is silicone-free - it's going to be my next purchase I think; I've read nothing but amazing reviews of it!
