Primed against grime
Laura Mercier's new oil-free Foundation Primer is specially designed for oily and sensitive skin. It helps create a smooth, invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements and holds foundation in place. The new formula has a high water content and addresses surface dehydration around active blemishes. Available at Laura Mercier counters in Lane Crawford and Joyce Beauty. Price: $260.
