Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder — 1 oz, Blurring Matte Finish, 24HR Shine Control

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a lightweight finishing powder that mattifies, blurs pores, and helps extend makeup wear with no flashback.

This cult-favorite loose powder is formulated to control shine, refine skin texture, and keep foundation looking true to tone. It comes in four translucent-leaning shades to suit a range of complexions and is designed to sit invisibly on skin rather than cake into fine lines. The blend of amino acids, vitamins, and botanical blurring agents gives a soft-focus finish while remaining fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested.

How does this powder keep makeup looking fresh through the day?

The powder absorbs excess oil and reduces surface shine so foundation and concealer stay put longer. It creates a matte veil that minimizes transfer and helps color remain accurate under different lights.

• Controls shine for up to 24 hours of oil management.
• Helps foundation wear for up to about 16 hours.
• Prevents flashback in photos for natural-looking results.

What makes it suitable for mature, sensitive, and oily skin?

Laura Mercier’s formula is lightweight and finely milled so it doesn’t settle into expression lines or accentuate texture. It’s fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested to reduce irritation for sensitive skin while still delivering oil control for oily complexions.

• Fine-milled texture avoids cakiness and creasing.
• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin compatibility.
• Four shades provide options across fair to deep tones.

Which ingredients contribute to the blurring and skin benefits?

The powder combines skin-friendly amino acids and antioxidant vitamins C and E with a botanical blurring powder to create a soft-focus effect. These components help even-looking tone and a silky surface without feeling heavy or drying.

• Amino acids support a smooth-feeling finish.
• Vitamins C and E offer antioxidant support for surface appearance.
• Botanical blurring powder reduces the look of pores and uneven texture.

How should I apply it for best results?

Use the Laura Mercier Velour Puff with the signature press-and-roll technique: press the puff into the powder, tap off excess, then roll onto skin to set makeup. This method deposits an even, lightweight layer that locks products in place without disturbing coverage.

• Saturate the velour puff, tap to remove surplus powder.
• Press and roll motion seals foundation and concealer.
• Reapply lightly to the T-zone for midday touch-ups.

Who is this for: This setting powder is for anyone seeking a non-cakey matte finish—especially folks with oily or combination skin, people wanting soft-focus blurring, and makeup wearers who need long-lasting, photo-friendly results. It’s also suited to mature or sensitive skin types looking for a gentle, refined powder that won’t emphasize lines or cause irritation.
