Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Light Catcher

Most Helpful Positive Review

Gorgeous product

I received the color Celestial Light. First let me say the packaging is gorgeous. The metallic lidded jar is a generous size, and contains 1 ounce of powder, but a little goes a long way. The inner top has a typical square holes shaker, which has a protective plastic sticker over it. When you swatch... the product onto your skin, it's light and smooth and buttery. A finely milled powder that goes on beautifully. I love the versatility of this product. What it's meant to do, is act as an all over setting and finishing powder, that blurs pores and illuminates the skin, which it does! I love the way it looks soft and glowy on my skin, without being glittery or shiny, like some other ones can do. It wore well, even in the hot and humid days of summer. It did not settle into lines or creases and it gave me an all over, natural looking glow. I did not feel it on my skin and it did nothing irritate my skin at any time. But it can also as a highlighter! And it's absolutely gorgeous!!! I used my finger tip or a brush, to concentrate it in the corners of my eyes, at the top of my cheekbones, at my brow, and the bridge of my nose, and wow is all I can say. It didn't pick up well in the photo but I was really pleased with the results and always appreciate when I am able to use one product for double duty. I normally just wear tinted moisturizer or tinted mineral sunscreen. I did try it with Milk concealer, and it was a great combination. It also comes with a velour puff. Although I did try the puff, I preferred the look I got from a big, powder brush. The puff did apply more of the powder, which seemed to have a little bit of a learning curve. But it was nice for pressing the powder into the areas I wanted more of a highlight, like my cheekbones, etc. It is my new favorite powder! I highly recommend it.
