Laura Mercier Peach Blush Colour Infusion Review & Swatches
Peach
Laura Mercier Peach Blush Colour Infusion ($30.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a medium pink-coral with golden shimmer and a pearl finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (up to opaque coverage with three layers) that applied fairly evenly and blended out without too much effort. The consistency was smooth to the touch but firmer and thinner, which made it less ideal to work with, as it had a tendency to absorb natural oils on my skin (making it harder to blend out/appear patchy). It lasted for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.2 oz. - $150.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "sheer, buildable" coverage that "blends seamlessly with skin" that lasts for "10 hours." I purchased two shades--one shimmer, one matte--to see how they performed before considering purchasing more of the range. The texture of both shades was rather thin with a firmer consistency that wasn't as blendable as I would have expected, though it had the sheer coverage that was described. It was buildable from sheer to mostly opaque coverage, though the shimmer shade I tried was easier to build up. They lasted around eight hours on me, which was solid wear, but it was shy of the 10-hour claim.

I love the shade, but the formula doesn’t sound so hot.
Because this is a shade that has been done to death, and with many less expensive dupes or ones done better than this, I feel like this one is a pretty easy pass for me.
(But, next time I get a chance, I’ll pick up Nyx Intuition or Summer!)
That’s a really pretty shade and I do like the finish.
