Marking its second decade of iconic makeup artistry in 2016, Laura Mercier proves it is more than just another cosmetic cult favorite. First founded in 1996 with the goal of creating a visually perfect complexion, the label has since furthered its boundaries. Beyond achieving flawless skin with a masterful mix of formulas and textures, Laura Mercier is renowned for appreciating and accentuating natural beauty in its diverse shades and forms, making each woman feel more confident and more beautiful.
Ringing in its 20th year in a manner worth remembering, Rustan’s the Beauty Source launches Laura Mercier’s two-fold Anniversary Collection. The Iconics, the collection’s headliner, is a 12-piece assortment of beauty must-haves. Priced at P10,500, The Iconics includes the label’s Caviar Stick Eye Colour, Longwear Crème Eye Pencil, Full Blown Volume Supreme Lash Building Mascara, Lip Pencil and Velour Lovers Lip Colour in their full sizes, as well as deluxe-sized Face Polish, Foundation Primer Radiance, Translucent Loose Setting Powder, Bonne Mine Stick Face Colour, Matte Radiance Baked Powder, Eye Basics and Lip Glace, all housed in a minimalist chest of drawers. A limited edition stockpile of all Laura Mercier’s best-selling beauty essentials, The Iconics is a timeless collection that tells the story of the brand’s 20-year tenure and a celebration of each person’s own beauty and individuality.
Iconic Leading Ladies, a compact lip duo set valued at P2,250, makes up the second half of the collection. Inspired by Laura’s favorite leading ladies and the films they starred in, the set features the Velour Lovers Lip Colour and Lip Glace in three limited shades: Catherine, a pink-tinged nude; Sophia, a dainty rose; and Vivien, an unapologetically bold red. These limited edition collections feature specially curated shades of Velour Lovers Lip Colour, and Lip Glace that can be used alone or mixed & matched to create endless looks. Housed in a collectable, soft-touch box with mirror, these collections are must-have items for any beauty enthusiast.
During the anniversary celebration, The Iconics Collection was introduced to an audience of beauty junkies and brand patrons by Laura’s makeup artist, Mark Kingson Qua. 
Qua spoke about his experience with the products and also welcomed two celebrated makeup artists into the Laura Mercier family – Anthea Bueno and Anton Patdu. 
The star-spangled Hollywood-themed evening was filled with glamour, as guests celebrated a night of flawless skin and natural beauty.
