Mercier teamed up with Janet Gurwitch in 1996 to launch the cosmetics line.Laura Mercier remains active in the brand, deeply involved in the product development and creative direction of the brand.
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.[2] The brand became known for its focus on products to create what it calls the "flawless face",[3][4] a concept derived from Mercier's reputation for promoting naturalistic makeup. In 2012, it became the official cosmetics brand of the second season of Project Runway All Stars.[5]
