Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, 1 oz — Blurring, 24HR Matte Finish for Oily & Sensitive Skin

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a lightweight, finely milled finishing powder that locks makeup in place, controls shine for up to 24 hours, and blurs pores without flashback.

This cult-favorite finishing powder uses ultrafine talc for an airy, cashmere-like texture that sets foundation and concealer without looking heavy. Formulated to feel weightless, it reduces the appearance of shine and softens skin texture while preserving the natural look of your makeup. Available in multiple translucent tones, it works on a range of complexions and is suitable for mature, sensitive, and oily skin types.

How will this powder keep my makeup from melting during a long day?

The powder absorbs excess oil and creates a matte barrier that helps foundation and concealer stay put. Its ultra-fine particles adhere smoothly to skin, reducing slip and preventing makeup from shifting.

• 24-hour shine control helps extend wear
• Oil-free formula reduces midday shine
• Lightweight texture prevents cakiness or settling into lines

Can this product make pores and fine lines look less noticeable?

Yes—its blurring effect softens the look of pores and minimizes texture without filling creases or appearing dry. The cashmere-milled talc diffuses light for a smoother finish.

• Finely milled French “Cashmere” talc for a silky surface
• Visually diffuses imperfections and softens skin texture
• Works with or without foundation to create a polished look

How do I apply the powder for natural, non-powdery coverage?

Use the velour powder puff to press product where you want longer wear and a matte finish, or sweep on with a fluffy brush for a lighter, diffused effect. Tap off excess and apply with a gentle pressing or rolling motion.

• Saturate puff, tap off excess, press and roll for lasting set
• Brush application: apply to flat planes—forehead, cheeks, nose, chin
• No flashback in photographs when applied properly

Is this powder suitable for sensitive or mature skin?

Formulated to be skin-friendly, the powder is oil-free and designed to sit softly on the skin instead of clinging to lines or irritation. Its lightweight finish makes it a smart choice for those seeking a refined matte look without heavy build-up.

• Oil-free to avoid excess greasiness
• Fine texture avoids settling into wrinkles or dry patches
• Available in translucent shades to flatter multiple skin tones

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone who wants a natural, long-lasting matte finish—especially makeup wearers with oily or combination skin, people who take photos and need no flashback, and users looking to soften the look of pores and texture without adding weight. It’s also well suited for mature and sensitive skin types that benefit from a featherlight, non-irritating setting product.

• Uses the finest milled French "Cashmere" Talc for an extremely light, silky powder
• Looks natural, never cakey or powdery, and sets makeup to prolong wear
• Oil free to help control shine
• Saturate the Velour Powder Puff, remove excess by tapping on hand, then press and roll powder into skin
• For a finished look, apply with a powder brush to flat surfaces: cheeks, forehead center, nose, and chin
