Laura Mercier Cosmetics is a cosmetics line that was co-founded by Laura Mercier, a French makeup artist. The brand's cosmetics are produced and marketed by Gurwitch Products.[1][2]
The brand was established in 1996 by Laura Mercier in partnership with former Neiman Marcus executive Janet Gurwitch, the then-CEO of Gurwitch Products.[3][4] From the outset, Laura Mercier Cosmetic's goal was to offer "high-quality, natural-looking makeup products for all skin tones and types", according to the Wall Street Journal.[4] The brand became known for its focus on products to create what it calls the "flawless face",[2][3] a concept derived from Mercier's reputation for promoting naturalistic makeup. In 2012, it became the official cosmetics brand of Project Runway All Stars Second Season.[5] The company was sold to Alticor, the parent company of Amway in 2006, with assurances that creative control would stay the same.[6]
