Mystery Makeup Look with Laura Mercier + Byrdie

You guys know I love a good challenge! I recently teamed up with Laura Mercier + Byrdie for a Mystery Makeup Look Lottery with fellow beauty YouTubers Deepica Mutyala and Melissa Alatorre. It was so cool to work with them and with such prestigious brands! I read Byrdie almost everyday, and if you keep up with me on YouTube, you know that I love Laura Mercier products! I’m so lucky to collaborate with my favorite brands and share the final product with you guys here on the blog! This is the second of four videos I’ve worked on in partnership with Laura Mercier + Byrdie, you can see the first here! (It’s a gorgeous romantic look that celeb makeup artist Jenn Streicher created for me!)

For the challenge, Deepica, Melissa, and I were given a mystery beauty look to create with Laura Mercier products. We raced against the clock to create each look in under a minute! I created a Golden Goddess look. I loved how easy this look was to create, and it only took a few essential products that I usually have in my makeup bag! I’d wear this simple, pretty look out to lunch with friends or to a daytime event.

Face

To achieve this look, I used Laura Mercier’s Blemish-Less Foundation Primer followed by Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer in Natural. I blended both using my fingers to apply to product all over my face. Next, I used Secret Camouflage and Secret Concealer under my eyes to cover up any imperfections. Laura Mercier’s Face Illuminator in Addiction gave the final touch of glow to my face on my cheekbones, nose, and cupid’s bow.

Eyes

For my eyes, I used Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eye Colors. First, I applied ‘Copper’ all across my lid and blended. I used ‘Cocoa’ on the outer corners of my eyes and lower lash line for more dimension.  I finished with the Face Illuminator on my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes.

Lips

For my lips, I used a swipe of Laura Mercier’s Lip Parfait in Cinn-ful and patted a little more Illuminator on my lips for a last little bit of shimmer!

    love this post, I wish they sold laura mercier here. Can you suggest any alternatives for the laura mercier translucent powder? maybe a cheaper version? I know its not part of the tutorial but still, you use it a lot.
    Just wanted to thank you for the makeup tips, ALL OF THEM, people constantly say my makeup looks so much better lately.

    lots of love all the way from Guatemala :)

      I must add, you have mastered the glow golden look without it being or looking greasy, at least for me

    • ReplySonaOctober 14, 2016 at 12:02 pm

      I’m so glad you’re enjoying my posts Ariana. To be honest, I haven’t found a dupe for the LM powder but I know COVERGIRL and L’OREAL both make good powders you can try.

  • ReplyAriaOctober 14, 2016 at 10:54 am

    Three of my favorite youtubers! So beautiful, you definitely achieved the glowing goddess look. Going to watch the YouTube tutorial now!

    Beautiful makeup look! You nailed it obviously! Love Laura Mercier! Their products are amazing! Loved the videos! #snapchatfam ?❤️

  • ReplyPraiseOctober 14, 2016 at 11:29 am

    Wow love it, saw it on the snap when you were there. But the face illuminator is ??? I love the copper eye colour stick getting it. I have been considering swapping to a tinted moisturiser for a while now for everyday makeup but I can’t find a good brand will go on Laura mercier and look for my perfect shade

    This look is so pretty. Perfect for me since I’m a mom and sometimes I don’t have time to do my makeup. You managed to make a fast makeup look, into a pretty naturally glamed look. I love this. I need to buy the caviar sticks. Great post/video. ?

    The best part about your blog is all the different material you put out. I never know what to expect and am always excited to see a new post. I love this look! And you did this with a time limit too. It’s very natural, but also dressed up. Sounds like a really fun challenge. SNAPCHAT FAM ?

      Thank you so much! Lots of Love :)

    You girls had so much fun there! The bronze godess is perfect for you. The makeup seems easy to make and the end result is great! I never used Laura Mercier producs because they don’t deliver in my country and I’m dying for LM translucent powder. Btw, that highlighter….seems to be AWESOME!!!!

  • ReplyIqah RahmanOctober 15, 2016 at 12:40 am

    I love this look Sona!!! You look so radiant and the bronzers and highlighters are complementing your features! I also love how you did your hair, so messy yet so natural and flawless looking. This is honestly the reason why you are the best youtuber for me, i always love your make up look. So classy and radiant and minimal! Which is what I’m always looking for. Keep it up Sona!!

  • ReplyAnna ViktoriaOctober 15, 2016 at 2:16 am

    Gongratulations Sona for this collab! <3 I always love the looks you create…so simple but chic and elegant! <3 <3 <3 Also, this lip color is AMAAAAZING!!!! LOVED IT! xo #snapchatfam

    Absolutely adore this look!!! I think i might have to invest in a Laura Mercier product as I found a counter in the UK! The lipstick is absolutely gorgeous ❤️

  • ReplyAnastasia T.October 15, 2016 at 4:47 am

    Great post! I love the look.

    This is such a creative idea to showcase products and show that even though it is used my makeup artists that anyone can use it. Simple and Beautiful. I love how detailed your posts are. This was such a beautiful look. Thank you!

  • ReplyBeny (@heartsthatsbee)October 16, 2016 at 1:48 am

    Amazing youtubers, I love your look and you always so good with what you do. We don’t get Laura Mercier but I get it from ebay. I’ve tried the translusent setting powder and the hydrating primer. It’s so good.
    I love your blogposts.

  • ReplyGloria GoveaOctober 16, 2016 at 7:41 pm

    I always plan to do my make up faster everyday but I always manage to keep the same time or even longer . I guess I enjoy to rub soft brushes in my face hahahaha.

    Love this look! Bronzy, golden looks are so universally flattering! I think this look worked even more in your favour because of your lightened hair! The lipstick shade is so pretty, can’t wait to try it xx
