Laura Mercier Polished Collection: Radiant Creme Colour — Cream Highlighter
Laura Mercier Polished Radiant Creme Colour ($35.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a gorgeous cream highlighter that goes on champagne-pink. Even though it looks like there are three separate shades, it’s hard to just get one, and so I’d say it’s really designed to be used swirled together. I really love the way all of the shades come together and create something that’s subtle and incredibly illuminating. It’s soft, lightweight, and it wears well. I didn’t find it faded or migrated during the eight hour test I put it to!
I wore it a few days ago in this look, and it really does make cheekbones pop! I applied the cream highlighter by tapping a stippling brush and lightly swirling and blending out towards my temples. I will caution you if you’re going to be photographed a ton–go lightly and be sure to dust and set with a translucent powder. It’s a beautiful sheen, but in flash photography, it can come off a little oily if you don’t use it subtly.

Christine, can you please review Laura Mercier Shimmer bloc(Golden mosaic). I am new to makeup and I bought it to use it as a bronzer+highlighter. Thanks
I don't have them any more.
Oooooooh...shiny. xD
it's gorgeous!!! that gave a great pop to your look!!! have to try it on to see if I get it...
so pretty! i'm becoming increasingly interested in laura mercier products. the only product i bought was a lip gloss years ago when i first started getting interested in makeup during high school. it was a multi-colored halographic lipgloss i believe. i don't think they make them anymore.
The champagne shade is gorgeous and the gold will make an excellent eyeshadow too.
sooo pretty, i love the pinky red on the bottom
I've been trying to use highlighters more, but find it can look a little shiny and too glitzy for day time. Do you think this would look OK on African American skin? Thanks!
I think it would be OK!
I'm always looking for highlighters to make my cheekbones stand out. It is hard for me to use blush because I always tend to break-out soon after. I've been afraid to use creme for it looking too streaky. But, this color looks really nice.
I've been trying to decide whether I need this or not since I don't usually use creamy highlighters (don't really own many come to think of it), but it does look very pretty. I guess it's sold out now anyway, so probably won't get it now, which kinda solves my dilemma, lol.
This looks so pretty! The only things I ever buy from Laura Mercier are the tinted moisturizers and concealers, but this is now on my list!
I have to admit that this didn't really catch my eye. But I do hope that if you received the Zen pallette, you'll share your thoughts on it.
