The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a cult favorite designed to lock in makeup for long wear without adding weight or texture. This powder is ideal for anyone seeking a matte finish that lasts up to 16 hours and a soft-focus effect in photos.
Key benefits
- 16 Hour Matte Finish delivers sheer coverage with a matte look that holds makeup in place throughout the day.
- Weightless Texture feels feather-light on skin and won’t settle into fine lines or look cakey.
- No Photo Flashback ensures a natural, soft-focus appearance in flash photography.
- Shade range for most skintones offers three virtually universal options: Translucent Honey, and Translucent Medium Deep.
- Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested formulation minimizes the risk of clogged pores and irritation for sensitive skin.
What it is and why it matters
This award-winning powder is specifically formulated to set makeup without altering foundation color or texture. By absorbing oil and controlling shine, it helps create a smooth, matte surface that photographs well and wears evenly all day.
Usage tips and who it’s for
Laura recommends applying with the Velour Puff (sold separately) for best results. Use after any creamy formulas, including cream blush, to lock in color and finish. Three shade options cover a wide range of skintones from fair to deep. If you’re looking for a matte airbrushed look that doesn’t look heavy, this powder is well-suited for you. People with oily or combination skin often notice reduced shine and a more uniform complexion over time.
Storage tip: keep in a cool, dry place and replace the puff as needed to maintain performance. Safety note: test on a small area of skin before first use to check for sensitivity. Do not overheat or apply near irritated areas.
This product is designed to work with makeup products and should be used after creamy formulas for best results. Follow the included product instructions for specific usage guidance.
