Bed of Roses

Laura Mercier Bed of Roses Caviar Stick ($29.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a soft, medium rosy copper with warm undertones and a sparkling sheen. It seemed to have more of a pearlized base with more visible flecks of sparkle throughout. The texture was smooth, emollient, and had great glide without being too slippery, which helped it apply directly from the tube but also work well with a fingertip.

For more diffused application, I preferred applying with a fingertip first, then going back with the product directly to layer and build up coverage as needed. It had mostly opaque coverage in a single layer but could be easily blended out for a sheerer wash of color. It stayed on well for nine hours before creasing a bit on my eye.

Forbidden Rose

Laura Mercier Forbidden Rose Caviar Stick ($29.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a deep, reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a barely-there pearl sheen. It had a lot less visible sparkle compared to most shades that launched beside it.

The texture was smooth, thin, and had good glide, though it was harder for me to diffuse it evenly as a wash as the color seemed to settle/spread into fine lines and “pores” in a way. On deep skin tones, I’d expect those things to be less visible. It had mostly opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Kiss From a Rose

Laura Mercier Kiss From a Rose Caviar Stick ($29.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a light pink with warmer undertones and a bright, sparkling sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that glided comfortably across my lid and deposited an even layer of color. It diffused fairly evenly with a fingertip and could be built up if desired if over-blended. This shade wore well for nine hours on me before creasing.
