Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Concealer
0.23 oz for $28
Laura Mercier recently launched their new Flawless Fusion Ultra Longwear Concealers. The brand claims this concealer has full coverage, weightless, seamlessly conceals under-eye darkness, crease resistant and blurs with up to 12 hours of wear. There are a total of twelve shades available and Laura Mercier was kind enough to send all twelve shades for review purpose.
The concealers come in a sleek tube with a flexible doe foot applicator. I love the consistency, it's very creamy and it does have medium to full coverage finish. The finishing is very natural and it has a slightly tacky feel to it which gives it a flawless, dewy look and it's almost undetectable on the skin. I do have dark under eye circles and this product does a phenomenal job of concealing them. I also have some fine lines, so I have to prep my under eye area really well, before applying the concealer to avoid any creasing. I like to use my fingers to apply the concealers, the warmth of my fingers help blend out the product seamlessly. I did notice some creasing on the days I went heavy with the application so I like to apply a few small dots and once blended I lightly dust LM Translucent Powder to set the concealer. If I do notice any creasing throughout the day I just use my ring finger and gently dab on the area, it doesn't take off any product it just helps smooth out the creasings. I also love using the shade 4N to spot conceal it really blurs and conceals any imperfections. The shade 4N is a little bit dark for me but once on the skin, you can't detect the color difference especially after I set it with a powder. Flawless Fusion Concealer is very long lasting, I didn't get the chance to test out for full 12 hours but I did wear it for 8-9 hours and it stayed put all day long without oxidizing. For everyday looks, I like to mix the shades 3W and 4N and occasionally when I want to go for a lighter and brighter under eye area I like to mix the shades 3N and 3W. There are three different undertones-
C for cool undertones-1C, 2C, 3C.
N for neutral undertones- 1N, 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N, 6N.
W for warm undertones- 2W, 3W, 6W.

I feel the shade range just jumped from medium to dark undertones leaving a huge gap in the middle. Even for my tan warm skin tone, I have to mix a few shades. For everyday looks, I like to use a concealer that's closer to my skin tone. So I hope they'll add more shades to the medium and darker undertones in the future.

The first photo is taken with flash and the second is taken without flash so I hope this gives you an idea about the shades and undertones. As you can see, the shade just went from medium to dark. I think that can be an issue for some, like me, you might have to mix a shade or two for a good match.
Here are a few other concealers, my most used ones are the Nars Radiant Creamy, MUFE Ultra HD, and Wander Beauty dual concealer. All three of them are very creamy and it doesn't crease as much. I do have a review for both Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (here) and the Wander Beauty Dual Matte & Illuminating Concealer (here). When it comes to concealers I do prefer a lightweight, dewy, hydrating finish cause I have very dry under eye area and Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer is just that!
Final Verdict:
This concealer instantly brightens up my under eye area, it's not cakey, it's very easy to blend and it's highly pigmented. I've been testing this out for the past few weeks and I like that you can use this for day to day natural looks and evening party looks. Even though I noticed slight creasing, I blame my dry skin for that. Due to the weather, my skin has been extremely dry for the past few months specially, my under eye area. I would highly suggest prepping the skin with a hydrating cream, prior to applying the concealer. However, I'm curious to see how this concealer will hold up during summer.
Overall, I love the packaging, the formula is superb, and it performs really well but I hope they'll expand the shade range in the future. If you like a full coverage finish concealer, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
