Laura Mercier Cosmetics is a French and American cosmetics and skin care line that was founded in 1996 by celebrity makeup artist Laura Mercier.[1]
History
Mercier teamed up with Janet Gurwitch in 1996 to launch the cosmetics line.[2] Laura Mercier remains active in the brand, deeply involved in the product development and creative direction of the brand.
The company was acquired by Alticor in 2006 and later by Shiseido Americas Corp. in 2016, though Mercier remained closely involved throughout both transitions.[2][3]
