SEAMLESS SKIN
Get that “no-makeup makeup” look with skincare cosmetics that give true, second-skin color while nourishing and renewing skin
La Mer, the global beauty brand and household name in skincare, discovers another way to perfect skin. Its legendary healing powers from the sea, the cell-renewing Miracle Broth discovered by Dr.
Max Huber in sea kelp, has now been used to find a new step in perfecting skin.
La Mer scientists sought out to develop the next generation of skin transformation, where the last step in skincare and the first step in color become one. Skincare and makeup are no longer treated as two separate parts in a beauty regimen, but instead work hand in hand in keeping skin healthy and ageless.
The Look of La Mer
Skincolor de La Mer is a collection of foundation, concealer, powder, and complementing luxurious brushes for natural and youthful beauty. With light, silky, velvety, and blendable textures, this arsenal of skin bases gives luxurious comfort to skin.
It isn’t your ordinary makeup foundation. Its innovative Color Capsule Technology mimics true skin tones, with encapsulated pigments to keep color true, pure, and natural.
It provides what is called the “look of La Mer”—healthy, flawless luminosity that renews one’s ageless beauty. With the iconic La Mer skin-care benefits combined with second-skin color, you achieve the ultimate no-makeup makeup look.
To accommodate a wide range of skin tones, La Mer has a variety of pre-selected shades available for the Philippine market. “We will have eight shades of the foundation and three shades of the concealer,” says La Mer Philippines brand manager, Camille Flores-Oloan.
Skincolor Arsenal
Skincolor de La Mer bridges the gap between skincare and color with its range of products. The Soft Fluid Long-Wear Foundation
SPF 20 (P6,650) has true skin color and wears all day, is humidity and sweat-resistant, and has buildable and flexible coverage for color customization. It protects skin from UV rays and damaging environmental skin aggressors. The Concealer (P4,200) has a liquid crystal formula designed to melt into skin for weightless coverage.
The Powder (P5,250) is incredibly light and appears to float on skin. Gives an impeccably translucent and radiant finish. The Foundation Brush (P4,200) is designed for precise application around the curves and contours of the face.
The Powder Brush (P4,600)is soft, fluffy, and full-shaped, and diffuses and sets powder for a flawless look. Both are hand-shaped and tapered for customized results. Anti-bacterial bristles ensure freshness and cleanliness.
Luminous Skin, Three Ways
Skincolor de La Mer can give three seamless skin finishes: natural, radiant, and matte. These three looks give skin its best-ever glow, clarity and luminosity. Natural: For a natural look, celebrity makeup artist Jigs Mayuga suggests mixing the Foundation with the Moisturizing Cream. “Mix together to sheer it out. This is almost like a tinted moisturizer finish.” Radiant: “You can actually use The Renewal Oil on top of your foundation,” says Jigs. “When we do skin-care shoots, we apply oil on top of the foundation, so that when the light hits the skin, it looks like it’s glowing.” Don’t fret, your foundation will stay intact. Applying this oil won’t ruin your makeup or make it look runny. “It will actually just sit on top,” ensures Jigs. Use it as you would a highlighter, applying with your ring finger on highlight points. Matte: Anything too matte is passé. Glowing skin should never look dry or flat, so go for a semi/demi-matte finish, nothing too matte or dewy. After foundation, Jigs recommends, “Apply Concealer with your ring finger with a soft pat-and-roll motion under the eyes, sides of the nose, and where needed. Dust with the Powder, then spray with The Mist to set.”
