| NARS and Laura Mercier favorites: Audacious lipstick, foundations, blushes, brushes, and more |
So I have a lot of makeup. And while I'm very vocal about my love for MAC Cosmetics before and Colourpop Cosmetics today, two more brands that I love and enjoy using are NARS and Laura Mercier.

As a makeup enthusiast, I know what it’s like to constantly hunt for formulas that just work—the kind of products that seamlessly earn a permanent spot in your daily rotation without requiring extra effort. Whether it's high-pigment lip products, skin-like foundations, or reliable brushes, both of these brands have delivered some serious holy grails over the years.
Here is a look at my absolute favorites from both lineups, why they’re worth the hype, and how I incorporate them into my routine:
complexion & bases:
- Laura Mercier Flawless Lumière Radiance-Perfecting Foundation: If you want that fresh, lit-from-within glow without feeling heavy or greasy, this formula is elite. It blends out smoothly and gives a naturally luminous finish.
- NARS Tinted Moisturizers: Perfect for low-maintenance days when you just want to even out your skin tone with a weightless, skin-like texture.
- NARS Compact Blushes: NARS reigns supreme when it comes to cheek products. The color payoff is immediate, and they build effortlessly without getting patchy.
- NARS Lipsticks: The Audacious lineup is legendary for a reason—one-swipe, full-coverage color with a comfortable feel that doesn't strip your lips.
- Laura Mercier Brushes: Great makeup starts with the right tools. Laura Mercier's brushes and powder puffs offer precision and make seamless blending virtually foolproof.
