How one Vogue writer and dedicated foundation user changed her beauty routine–and the way she viewed her 'imperfections.'
, the woman responsible for the lit-from-within complexions of Gemma Chan and Amanda Seyfried. A fan since its launch in 1996, Blunder recalls the original as the first sheer base to align with her skin-first aesthetic. “When things are too matte or plastered on, I just lose interest.”
She has a point. The arrival of makeup-melting warmer weather left me wondering if my full-coverage formulas had lulled me into a false state of security, the equivalent of a cosmetic Snapchat filter. So I was delighted to learn that Mercier’s original lightweight cream was getting an update this month. Reformulated with hydrating macadamia nut oil and vitamin-rich kukui seed—plus an expanded range of 20 shades—I decided to bring it back into rotation.
I quickly realized that I didn’t have to waste time mixing. The subtle finish discreetly evened things out and looked great all on its own. Putting away my foundation was a humbling experience that required a mental shift: baring your skin means baring your soul, or at least becoming comfortable with the idea that perceived imperfections aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Blunder’s advice for foundation junkies looking to make the transition? Use a dampened sponge to buff out the coverage.
