Founder

Mercier teamed up with Janet Gurwitch in 1996 to launch the cosmetics line.[1] After 10 years, the cosmetics company was acquired by Japanese beauty conglomerate The Shiseido Group.[2] Laura Mercier remains active in the brand, deeply involved in the product development and creative direction of the brand.

Products

From the outset, Laura Mercier Cosmetic's goal was to offer "high-quality, natural-looking makeup products for all skin tones and types", according to the Wall Street Journal.[3] The brand became known for its focus on products to create what it calls the "flawless face",[4][5] a concept derived from Mercier's reputation for promoting naturalistic makeup. In 2012, it became the official cosmetics brand of Project Runway All Stars Second Season.[6]
