Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, Fair to Medium — Talc-Free Ultra-Blur, Hydrating Finish

This award-winning loose powder combines a weightless texture with skin-friendly ingredients to lock makeup in place without looking cakey or causing flashback. Formulated without talc and enriched with hyaluronic acid, it provides comfortable all-day wear while softening the appearance of fine lines, pores and uneven texture. The translucent shade shown is designed to suit fair to medium skin tones, creating a seamless veil that photographs well and feels barely there.

How does this powder keep makeup in place all day?

The Ultra-Blur powder uses ultra-fine silica and other mattifying powders to absorb excess oil and stabilize foundation and concealer for up to 16 hours. Its silky finish helps makeup adhere evenly and resist breakdown from humidity and shine without drying the skin.

• Silica-based powders for oil control and soft-focus effect
• Micro-fine particles that set foundation without settling into lines
• Proven wear extension up to 16 hours in finished makeup

Will this work on dry or textured skin?

Yes — unlike some mattifying powders, this formula includes hyaluronic acid to help retain moisture and maintain a comfortable feel on dry areas. The result is a natural finish that minimizes texture visually while avoiding tightness or flaking.

• Hyaluronic acid adds lightweight hydration and comfort
• Undetectable, ultra-finely milled texture that sits gently on skin
• Soft-focus ingredients smooth the appearance of pores and texture

Does the powder cause flashback in photos?

No — the translucent formula is engineered to be truly invisible on camera, giving a soft, matte look without white cast. It blends into skin tone while keeping highlight and contour true in both natural and flash photography.

• Translucent, color-neutral finish prevents flashback
• Maintains photographic integrity in bright light and flash
• Delivers a soft-focus veil that still lets makeup color show through

How should I apply it for best results?

Use a light hand and build as needed: tap a small amount into a puff or brush, press or sweep over foundation, and focus on shine-prone areas. For setting concealer, gently pat to avoid disturbing coverage; for an all-over finish, lightly dust and blend for a natural look.

• Pat under-eye concealer to prevent creasing
• Sweep with a large brush for all-over oil control
• Use a small brush to target pores or blemish areas without over-applying

Who is this for? This Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Translucent powder is ideal for people who want long-lasting makeup with a soft-focus finish — especially those who need oil control without dryness, want a lightweight feel, and need a shade that complements fair to medium skin tones. It suits makeup lovers seeking a polished, camera-ready look while preserving skin comfort throughout the day.
