Impressionistic cheeks: Laura Mercier Colour Dots in Sangria and Baked Blush Illuminé in Rose

I?m often inspired by art when I get ready in the morning ? and not always modern art, à la Andy Warhol or iconic images of Twiggy ? but sometimes, like during the deepest and darkest parts of winter, I?ll think of a novel or a particular Renaissance painting and try to recreate the spirit of the work or, if it?s a portrait, the glow surrounding the subject. Sometimes with Laura Mercier I think of impressionist paintings, and it?s not hard to see similarities between some of Laura Mercier?s muted greens, steel blues and rich sienna browns and a color palette used by Claude Monet, right"
That?s perfect for me, as I love that romantic flush on the faces of so many impressionistic heroines. If you gaze at a Renior, you?re sure to see a glowing rose pink, and when my skin is at its most sallow or pale during the winter months, that?s the look I most like to create with my blush.
Thanks to the new Laura Mercier Colour Dots ($32) and Baked Blush Illuminé in Rose ($42), I?ll be glowing like a painting for months.
