Introducing the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, a cult favorite and award-winning product that has become a staple in the beauty industry. This setting powder is renowned for its exceptional performance and versatility, making it the perfect choice for anyone seeking a flawless makeup finish. Available in three shades, including Translucent Honey, this powder caters to various skin tones, ensuring everyone can achieve that coveted matte look.
One of the standout features of this setting powder is its 16-hour matte finish. It provides a touch of sheer coverage that sets makeup flawlessly throughout the day. Unlike many other powders, it does not add weight or texture to the skin, allowing your natural beauty to shine through. The lightweight, finely-milled formula blends effortlessly, ensuring it never settles into fine lines or looks cakey.
Additionally, the no photo flashback formula is a game-changer for those who love taking pictures. It creates a soft-focus effect that subtly blurs the appearance of fine lines and imperfections, making it an ideal choice for special events or daily wear.
| Shade | Skin Tone |
| Translucent | Fair to Medium |
| Translucent Honey | Medium with Olive, Warm, Golden Undertones |
| Translucent Medium Deep | Medium-Deep to Deep |
The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and non-caking, ensuring it is suitable for all skin types. In a clinical study involving 32 women over two weeks, 100% reported that it feels lightweight and does not appear cakey. Furthermore, 100% observed that it effectively controls and reduces shine, while 97% noted its ability to absorb excess oil.
Clinical testing has also shown that this powder offers no flashback in photos, long-lasting wear for up to 16 hours, and shine control for up to 8 hours, making it the perfect companion for any makeup routine.
Another noteworthy aspect is that the powder allows your skin to breathe, does not alter the color of your foundation or tinted moisturizer, and maintains a matte finish all day long. It does not oxidize, ensuring your look stays fresh from morning until night.
For optimal application, Laura Mercier recommends using the Velour Puff (sold separately). To prepare the puff, press it into the loose powder and work it into the puff by folding and rubbing the halves together or tapping the powdered side on the back of your hand. Gently press the puff onto your skin using a rolling motion to work the powder in. For delicate areas around the eyes, consider using the Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes.
As with all setting powders, apply it after using any creamy formulas, including cream blush. The ingredients include Talc, Magnesium Myristate, Nylon-12, and various other components that contribute to its exceptional performance.
In summary, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Translucent Honey is an essential product for anyone who desires a long-lasting, weightless, and flawless finish. It embodies the perfect blend of performance and quality, making it a must-have in your makeup collection.
