While most Asian prefer to have fair looking skin, there are some of them who likes to have that sunlit radiant glow (or in other word TAN) on face. And you know how our skin would be damaged by going for sun tanning... those harmful UV rays will speed up skin ageing and worst come to worst cause skin cancer!
With that Laura Mercier has created Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze with a touch of sheer that gives you natural sunlit radiant glow with soft-focus effect. This hydrating, water-based gel preps skin with a healthy glow and creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Enriched with Jojoba Oil and Vitamins A, C and , it kisses skin with golden pearl tint creating a soft-focus, fresh-from-the-sun finish. Leaves skin ready to perfectly embrace foundation, keeping it renewed and colour-true for hours. Perfect for all skin types.

I was actually quite shocked to see Radiant Bronze colour when I first swatched it beside my Laura Mercier Foundation Primer , the golden brown colour seems to be much more darker than my foundation shade.
As this is a primer, it would prepares and smoothes skin , creating an even surface for makeup application.

To my surprise once I blend it the colour seems to settle in with a very nice glowy effect. I like how it's not greasy, tacky or sticky!
My review on Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze
When I first swatch the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze I thought the colour would turns my skin into dark tan colour. But after I spread evenly on my skin, surprisingly the result is very natural as it gives a fake sun-kissed radiant skin i.e a very healthy glowing skin!
The texture is very easy to spread and blend on my skin! As mentioned this is a primer , you can either top up with foundation on top or just have this alone. And applying this Radiant Bronze under my usual liquid foundation does not give me much difference or maybe too little for me to notice.
How to use Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze
Apply this over moisturizer or onto clean skin before Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer or Foundation. As I want to keep the sun-kissed effect from the primer, I would personally suggest you to apply the primer first before setting it with transparent loose powder. For a better coverage, simple just brush the foundation lightly onto the skin after using Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze.
I know many girls have pale looking skin and sick without makeup, well this Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze is what they need without needing to put on heavy makeup everyday. And now there is no reason why you need to go for sun tanning and risk your skin with harmful UV rays when you can have a natural sunlit radiant glow with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiant Bronze! I don't usually put up a lot of make up on weekends (unless there's event) so that my skin can take a break hence I usually put on this and top up with loose powder before going out !
