Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder — 1 oz, Blurring Matte Finish, 24HR Shine Control

This iconic loose powder delivers a long-wearing matte finish without looking cakey or causing flashback in photos. Formulated to be featherlight and truly translucent, it sets foundation, mutes excess oil, and softens the appearance of texture. Enriched with vitamins and amino acids, the powder is designed to be gentle on sensitive and mature skin while still performing for oily complexions. Available in four options to suit a wide range of skin tones, it’s a staple for both everyday wear and long event days.

How does this powder keep makeup fresh all day?

The formula absorbs excess oil and locks foundation and concealer into place to reduce shine and migration. Its fine-milled texture creates a matte canvas that helps products last through long hours without caking or creasing.

• Ultra-fine particles that sit lightly on skin
• Oil-absorbing ingredients for extended shine control
• Sets makeup for up to 16 hours of wear
• No flashback for natural-looking photos

Will it work on mature or sensitive skin?

Yes — the powder is formulated to be gentle and non-irritating while minimizing the look of pores and fine lines. Its lightweight finish prevents settling into creases, and antioxidant vitamins help support skin over time without heavy fragrance.

• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested
• Silky texture that doesn’t emphasize lines
• Contains Vitamins C and E plus skin-friendly amino acids
• Suitable for sensitive and mature complexions

How should I apply it for the best finish?

For a seamless result, use a velour puff or a fluffy brush to press and roll the powder across the face rather than sweeping it on. This method locks product in place and delivers an even, color-true matte finish without over-applying.

• Saturate the velour puff and tap off excess
• Press and roll over foundation and concealer
• Use a light dusting with a brush for touch-ups
• Concentrate on the T-zone for oil control

Which shade should I choose and will it alter my foundation?

The powder is offered in four translucent-tinted options designed to complement fair through deep skin tones while remaining color-neutral on the face. Because the finish is truly translucent, it won’t shift the shade of your base or cause darkening over time.

• Four shades to suit a broad range of tones
• Transparent finish keeps foundation color true
• Works over cream and liquid products alike
• Prevents shine without a heavy look

Who is this for? This setting powder is ideal for anyone who wants a reliable, long-lasting matte finish — especially those with oily or combination skin, people with mature or sensitive complexions seeking a non-irritating option, and makeup lovers who need camera-ready results without flashback. If you value a silky, breathable feel and extended wear from morning to night, this powder is engineered to deliver performance without sacrificing a natural skin-like look.
