Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder, a cult favorite and multiple award winner, is a must-have in your beauty arsenal. Revered by professionals for its smooth application, this powder goes on evenly, blends effortlessly, and provides exceptional longevity. It sets makeup for an impressive 16 hours without adding weight or texture.

Key Benefits:

• 16-Hour Matte Finish: Delivers a touch of sheer coverage with a soft matte finish, setting makeup flawlessly for 16 hours.
• Weightless Texture: This finely-milled, lightweight powder doesn’t add weight or texture to the skin. It avoids settling into fine lines and never looks cakey.
• No Photo Flashback: The no-flashback formula is ideal for photos, creating a soft-focus effect to subtly blur the appearance of fine lines and imperfections.
• Three Shades for Virtually All Skin Tones:
  1. Translucent: Perfect for fair to medium skin tones.
  2. Translucent Honey: Best for medium skin tones with olive and golden undertones.
  3. Translucent Medium Deep: Ideal for medium-deep to deep skin tones.

Directions:

1. Preparing the puff is crucial: 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 the back of your hand.
2. Gently press the puff onto the skin using a rolling motion to “work” the powder in. For the under-eye area, use the Secret Brightening Powder For Under Eyes.
3. As with all setting powders, apply after any creamy formulas, including cream blush.
