Description
A cult favorite and winner of multiple major awards, Laura Mercier's "best in beauty" Translucent Loose Setting Powder is your go-to powder. Pros love the super smooth application, which goes on evenly, blends effortlessly and provides great wear. Sets makeup for 16 hours without adding weight or texture.
- Key Benefits:
• 16 Hour Matte Finish: A touch of sheer coverage with a soft matte finish sets makeup flawlessly for 16 hours.
• Weightless Texture: This lightweight, finely-milled powder doesn't add weight or texture to skin. Doesn't settle into fine lines and never looks cakey.
• No Photo Flashback: This no-flashback formula is perfect for photos and creates a soft-focus effect to subtly blur the look of fine lines and imperfections.
• Three Shades for Virtually All Skintones:
1. Translucent Perfect: For fair to medium skin tones.
2. Translucent Honey: Sets medium skin tones with olive and golden undertones.
3. Translucent Medium Deep: Ideal for medium-deep to deep skin tones.
• Non-comedogenic. Non-caking. Dermatologist-tested.
Laura recommends applying with the Velour Puff (sold separately).
*Based on #1 US rank by NPD Group Inc in Prestige Retail, YTD 2019 through July.

Directions
- Preparing the puff is key: press the Velour Puff into the loose powder, then work the powder into the puff by folding and rubbing the halves together, or by tapping the powdered side vigorously on back of hand.
- Gently press puff onto skin, using a rolling motion to "work" the powder in. Around the eyes, use Secret Brightening Powder For Under Eyes.
- As with all setting powders, apply after any creamy formulas, including cream blush.

I use the powder in translucent. It sets the foundation nicely and doesn't make the colour change. It comes in traditional loose powder jar. It doesn't come with puff though. It mattifies the skin nicely. However, the price tag is quite high.

It doesn’t get in your pores and don’t make your foundation change colour. It sets your makeup all day. But you can re apply if you get any shine but I find this leaves me shine free all day.
