Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder 1 oz — Blurring, Oil-Control Matte Finish for Oily & Sensitive Skin

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a finely milled finishing powder that mattifies, blurs and locks makeup in place for long wear without looking cakey.

This cult-favorite loose powder uses an ultra-soft talc to create a silky veil that reduces shine, smooths the look of pores and helps makeup stay put for hours. Available in multiple translucent shades, it’s formulated to diffuse light and prevent flashback while delivering a natural, matte finish that reads like skin, not product. Lightweight enough for everyday use, it works across a range of skin types including oily, mature and sensitive complexions.

How does this powder keep makeup looking fresh all day?

The formula absorbs excess oil and sets foundation and concealer so they resist transfer and shine. Its very fine texture settles into skin surface irregularities to create a soft-focus effect, extending wear without heavy buildup.

• Finely milled French “Cashmere” talc for a featherlight finish
• Oil-free formula that reduces midday shine
• Helps foundations and creams stay in place up to 16 hours

Will it make my skin look powdery or accentuate fine lines?

No—this powder is designed to look natural rather than sit on top of skin. The silky particles blend seamlessly, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines while avoiding a dry, cakey look.

• Ultra-smooth texture that melts into skin instead of layering
• Light-reflecting finish that blurs imperfections without flashback
• Suitable for mature skin when applied sparingly to avoid heaviness

How should I apply it for the best results?

For controlled application, use the velour powder puff to press product into zones where oil forms, then sweep away excess. For an overall subtle finish, dust a fluffy powder brush across flat areas—forehead, nose, cheeks and chin—after completing makeup.

• Saturate the velour puff, tap off excess, press and roll into the skin
• For a lighter effect, use a powder brush on the center of the face
• Concentrate on the T-zone and areas prone to creasing for longer wear

Does it work for different skin tones and sensitive skin?

The translucent formulation is offered in multiple shades to suit a range of complexions while remaining virtually invisible in photos. Its oil-free and lightweight composition makes it a gentle option for sensitive skin types when used as directed.

• Four translucent shades designed to complement various skin tones
• No flashback in photography when matched correctly to skin tone
• Oil-free and lightweight for sensitive and oily-prone skin types

Who is this for: If you want a professional-grade finishing powder that mattifies without masking your natural skin, this Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is made for you. It’s ideal for anyone who wears long-wear foundation or concealer and needs reliable shine control, a soft-focus finish, and a product that photographs cleanly. Whether you have oily, combination, mature, or sensitive skin, apply sparingly and build as needed to achieve a fresh, velvety complexion.

• Uses the finest milled French “Cashmere” talc for a light, silky texture
• Looks natural—never cakey or powdery—while prolonging makeup wear
• Oil-free formulation to control shine throughout the day
• Application tip: Press with the Velour Powder Puff, remove excess, then roll onto skin; or sweep with a Powder Brush over flat face areas
