Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder — Tone Up (1 oz), 24HR Matte, Oil-Control Blurring Finish

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a cult-favorite finishing powder that controls shine for up to 24 hours while blurring pores and preserving a natural, matte look.

Lightweight and truly translucent, this iconic loose powder locks makeup in place without looking cakey or causing flashback in photos. Infused with amino acids, vitamins C and E, and a botanical blurring powder, it smooths texture and absorbs excess oil for a soft-focus finish. Available in four shades to suit fair through deep complexions, it’s formulated fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested for sensitive, mature, and oily skin types.

How does this powder keep makeup looking fresh all day?

The formula absorbs oil and sets foundations and concealers to significantly reduce shine and migration. Its finely milled texture adheres to skin rather than sitting on top, so makeup stays put from morning to evening without appearing heavy.

• 24-hour shine control designed to lock makeup in place
• Peachy-pink pigments brighten and correct undertone for a natural finish
• Micro-fine particles prevent creasing and minimize transfer

Will it flashback in photos or settle into fine lines?

No flashback—this powder is engineered to be photo-friendly and color-true under flash and studio lighting. It won’t cake or accentuate fine lines when applied with the recommended press-and-roll technique using a velour puff or a soft brush.

• Formulated to avoid white cast in photographs
• Lightweight, non-drying finish that resists settling into lines
• Works invisibly over different foundations and skin tones

How should I apply it for the best blur and matte results?

For the smoothest effect, saturate the Laura Mercier velour puff, tap off excess, and press the powder into the skin using a rolling motion. Focus on the T-zone and under-eye areas where makeup tends to move, then sweep away any extra with a soft brush for a natural look.

• Press-and-roll application ensures long-lasting adherence
• Use sparingly under eyes to avoid settling; layer where needed
• Can be applied over makeup or on bare skin for subtle brightening

What skin types and tones benefit most from this powder?

This powder is formulated for normal to oily skin and is gentle enough for sensitive and mature complexions. With four translucent shades, it’s designed to maintain color accuracy across a broad range of skin tones while delivering a soft-focus, matte finish.

• Available in multiple translucent shades from fair to deep
• Vegan, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin
• Blurs pores and refines texture without over-drying

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone who wants a reliable setting powder that tames oil, blurs imperfections, and photographs true-to-tone—especially people with oily or combination skin, those seeking a non-cakey matte finish, and makeup users who need long-wear performance without sacrificing a natural look.
