Laura
Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Review

The finishing step that makeup artists swear by. Laura Mercier's iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder has earned its legendary status for good reason — it locks in your entire makeup look for up to 16 hours while leaving skin looking naturally flawless, never powdery, never cakey, never overdone.

Crafted using the finest milled French "Cashmere" Talc, this featherlight powder melts invisibly into the skin, setting your makeup without adding a single trace of weight or texture. It subtly blurs fine lines and imperfections as it works, giving the complexion a soft, velvety matte finish that looks like skin — just perfected. With 24-hour shine control built in, it keeps oil at bay all day long without ever drying the skin out or disturbing the makeup beneath.

Available in four thoughtfully selected shades, it suits virtually all skin tones and works seamlessly over any foundation, concealer, or bare skin. Whether you are after a polished everyday look or a camera-ready finish that holds through long hours, this powder delivers both with effortless elegance.

How to apply: Massage the powder into the Velour Puff by folding both halves together, then tap off any excess. Fold the puff in half and gently press and roll onto skin using a rolling motion to work the powder in. For a finishing touch, sweep over the flat surfaces of the face with a powder brush for a seamlessly velvety result.
