What It Is: Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour is a featherlight, velvety powder blush designed to create a naturally flushed, healthy-looking complexion. Its finely milled texture glides effortlessly over the skin, delivering sheer-to-buildable color with a soft, sophisticated finish that looks remarkably natural rather than heavily made up.

What It Does: The lightweight formula sweeps onto cheeks smoothly and evenly, allowing you to customize your look from a subtle hint of color to a more defined flush. Light-diffusing properties help soften the appearance of the complexion while creating a beautiful, lit-from-within effect. The buildable formula blends seamlessly without looking cakey and is designed to remain color-true throughout the day.

Key Ingredients:

• Squalane: Helps condition the skin and contributes to a smooth, comfortable feel.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: A skin-conditioning ingredient that helps support a comfortable application.
• Glycerin: A humectant that helps attract and retain moisture.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps condition the skin.
• Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract: A botanical extract known for its skin-conditioning properties.
• Coffee Seed Extract: A botanical ingredient with antioxidant properties.
• Silk Powder: Helps contribute to the formula's silky, refined texture.
• Mica: Provides light-reflecting properties for a naturally luminous appearance.

Results:

Cheeks appear naturally flushed, softly defined, and beautifully enhanced with a refined wash of color. The complexion takes on a fresh, healthy-looking radiance while the lightweight powder maintains a smooth, natural finish throughout wear.

How To Use: Smile gently to locate the apples of the cheeks. Using a cheek color brush, pick up a small amount of product and apply beginning at the top of the cheekbone, blending downward and inward toward the apple of the cheek in a soft, rounded horseshoe motion.

Build gradually in light layers until the desired intensity is achieved. For a more subtle effect, use a lighter hand and blend the edges seamlessly into the complexion.

Pro Tip: Apply in thin layers rather than one heavy application for the most natural, skin-like finish.
