My mother is 75 years young, but you’d never know it by looking at her. She defines the old adage that “age is just a number” thanks to her endless amounts of energy, active lifestyle, and incredible skin that makes her look 10 years younger (not only in my biased opinion but according to her friends, too). As a shopping editor, I needed to know some of her skincare secrets so I could disclose them to the general population, and there is one beauty find that she couldn’t stop raving about.
My mom swears by Laura Mercier products, but there’s one that stands out from the rest. The Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer, available at Nordstrom, is the one makeup item she can’t live without thanks to its ability to hide signs of age and fatigue. In fact, she said her “dark circles are hardly visible” after she applies the concealer to the area, and she’ll never stop using it “because it actually works.”

The lightweight concealer offers medium to full coverage and masks dark circles and other skin blemishes through its crease-resistant formula — which my mom has confirmed — for up to 12 hours. It provides long-lasting coverage through Laura Mercier’s Skin Fusion Technology that’s sweat-, humidity-, and water-resistant. The weightless concealer hydrates the under-eye area so it doesn’t flake off or sink into fine lines and wrinkles. The formula also incorporates a powder blend that smooths lines and creates a blurred finish.
To apply, my mom dots a small amount to the under-eye area, takes another brush to gently work it in, using soft, small strokes, and continues to blend the area until it’s fully covered. “I can’t even see any bags under my eyes after I apply it,” she said, also noting that it “doesn’t get into my creases or get cakey.”
Shoppers also love the concealer since it “goes on smoothly” and “covers effectively,” according to one person. They confirmed that “the coverage is great,” and like my mother, they used a beauty sponge to apply it and noted that it “blends seamlessly.” Another reviewer who uses the concealer for “everyday and evening makeup” said that it has “buildable coverage that lasts all day.” They also pointed out that it’s “creamy and doesn’t dry [their] skin out.”
