    How To Use

    Prep Laura Mercier's Velour Puff (sold separately) by massaging Translucent Loose Setting Powder into the puff, folding both halves together. Tap the powdered side on the back of your hand to remove excess. Fold the puff in half and gently press and roll the puff onto skin to set your makeup. Around the eyes, use Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes (sold separately). Focus on the areas where makeup breaks down the most. Apply after any creamy formulas, including cream blush.

    Tip: Renowned Makeup Artist Laura Mercier uses it to set foundation and prolong its wear. She applies it after foundation and concealer, and before applying powder-based color. As an added benefit, it eases the application of powder blush or bronzer.

    FAQs

    What setting powder works for oily or combination skin without looking cakey?

    For oily or combination skin, Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder delivers 24HR shine control and a matte finish without adding weight or texture. The ultra finely-milled, cake-free formula blurs the look of pores and keeps foundation color true for up to 16HRs. Very dry? Consider talc-free Ultra-Blur Setting Powder, infused with Hyaluronic Acid.

    How do you apply Translucent Loose Setting Powder for a lasting, matte finish?

    Apply Translucent Loose Setting Powder from Laura Mercier after foundation to set and maintain color. Using the artist-inspired “press and roll” technique, pick up a small amount, press onto skin, then roll to blend. This locks makeup in place up to 16HRs and controls shine for 24HRs with no photo flashback. For under eyes, use Secret Brightening Powder.

    Is translucent setting powder okay for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

    Yes. Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder is non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested and fragrance-free. It’s suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, and combination. If your skin is very dry, our talc-free Ultra-Blur Setting Powder with Hyaluronic Acid is hydrating and comfortable with 16HR wear and a natural, cake-free finish.

    How often should I use setting powder, and where does it go in my makeup routine?

    Use Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder whenever you wear makeup as the final step to set your foundation. The breathable, ultra-finely milled formula delivers a matte, cake-free finish with 24HR shine control and 16HR wear. For the under-eye area, set with Secret Brightening Powder.

    How long does Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder last, and does it improve skin over time?

    Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder sets makeup immediately for up to 16HRs of wear and 24HRs of shine control. Over time, the Vitamin C + E powders are known to support a more even-toned complexion. Expect a truly translucent, color-true finish with no photo flashback each time you apply.

    Which Laura Mercier translucent powder shade should I pick — Translucent, Honey, Medium Deep, or Tone-Up?

    Choose a Translucent Loose Setting Powder shade that most closely matches your skin tone and undertone. Translucent for fair to medium skin tones, Translucent Honey for medium skin tones with olive or golden undertones, Translucent Medium Deep for medium-deep to deep skin tones and Tone-Up to brighten light to medium skin tones. All are truly translucent, keep foundation color-true, and create a matte finish without extra weight.

    Okay so I have always wanted to try this but kept putting it off. I didn't think I needed to spend the $ when there are so many alternatives. I was using the coty one for a while however it put a pink cast all over my face when I have yellow/neutral undertones. So it made my foundation look like the...

    Ive used many translucent loose setting powders, but this one has taken the win. I dont powder my whole face and this one has such a natural finish that you cant tell where I didnt apply the powder. Also i love the translucent shade because its a little yellow (just a little). I was using the elf halo glow loose powder, but they reformulated and its now pink, which made my makeup look more cool toned and just brighter overall. I will definitely be repurchasing the Laura Mercier powder.

    Translucent Setting Powder

    From Lexington, KY

    I was in the market for a new setting powder because the one I use is no longer in production. I'd heard positive things about this brand and decided to try it. However, despite selecting the translucent shade, it still looked yellow when I went to apply it. It also caked horribly and settled into lines on my skin. It could have been my error, but I did try 3-4 different application methods.

    Hands down my favorite settijg powder. Tried a couple others but always come back to this one. It sets beautifully, doesnt cause a cakey or flaky appearance and its truly translucent.
