Lunch with Justin Cessac: International MakeUp Artist for Laura Mercier


It was such an amazing opportunity to meet with Mr. Justin Cessac! He has such a warm heart and is wholesome inside and out! I was able to steal him from his busy schedule to score a phenomenal interview and learn why Laura Mercier is truly a unique and amazing makeup and skin care collection!

"From an early age, I appreciated diverse beauty from the grande dames of old to today's modern cosmopolitan woman. I wanted to make my own mother beautiful. From a very early age, I showed an affinity for doing what I'm doing today, which is to make the world a little bit more beautiful one client at a time" - Justin Cessac. 

Q. What makes Laura Mercier different than the other brands?
A. It's based on the Flawless Face Method. Laura wants makeup to look like skin. Four simple steps;
1. Primer
2. Foundation
3. Conceal
4. Powder

Laura Mercier is also the founder in revolutionizing the 'primer'. 

SPONGE VS HANDS: Since Laura's products is considered a high pigment product, a sponge works best when applying makeup. This allow's you to work the foundation/moisturizer into the skin.

Q. Who has been your favorite celebrity to work with?
A. Tory Burch and Matt Damon

DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF LAURA HAS WORKED WITH MARIAH CAREY AND JULIA ROBERTS AND THAT SHE IS BFF WITH SARAH JESSICA PARKER?! AND THAT LAURA MERCIER GLOBAL AMBASSADOR, MATIN, WORKED ON SEX AND THE CITY 3 MOVIE! 

Q. What's one thing that every woman should know about makeup?
A. Makeup only looks good as the skin underneath.

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT LAURA'S SKIN CARE LINE. ONE OF MY DAILY RITUALS IS FLAWLESS SKIN REPAIR EYE CREME.

Q. What is your definition of beauty?
A. My 90 year old grandmother, Lilly.

Q. What's a motto you live by?
A. Be true to yourself
