Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Translucent Pressed Setting Powder — Talc-Free, Waterproof, 16HR Wear

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Pressed Setting Powder is a waterproof, crease-resistant finishing powder that softens pores and locks makeup for long, natural-looking wear.

This pressed setting powder delivers a soft-matte, natural finish without talc or flashback. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and silica powders, it visually blurs fine lines and pores while offering comfortable, non-drying coverage. The compact includes a plush puff for fast touch-ups and is designed to resist sweat and moisture for extended wear.

How does this powder keep makeup looking fresh for up to 16 hours?

The formula combines lightweight polymers and blurring silica that set foundation and control oil without feeling heavy. Its waterproof and sweatproof properties minimize breakdown and fading, while the pressed format prevents excess fallout and simplifies reapplication on the go.

• Weightless pressed texture that sets foundation and concealer
• Waterproof and crease-resistant finish for long wear
• Controls shine while maintaining a natural, photo-friendly look

Will this powder dry out my skin or cause cakiness?

No—this powder is formulated to avoid the dry, powdery feel. Hyaluronic acid and amino acids help support skin hydration, giving a smoother finish that resists cake and maintains comfortable wear through the day.

• Hyaluronic acid infusion for moisture retention
• Amino acids to help maintain a supple feel
• Silica-based blurring to soften texture without thick buildup

Can I expect a white cast or flashback in photos?

The translucent shade is designed to be photo-friendly with no visible white cast or flashback under flash photography. The finely milled particles diffuse light to preserve a natural skin tone and prevent that chalky appearance often associated with older powders.

• Talc-free, finely milled powder for even light diffusion
• Engineered to avoid photo flashback and maintain true color
• Translucent finish that suits many skin tones without obvious whitening

How should I apply and touch up this pressed powder?

Use the included puff for targeted setting—press gently where makeup tends to move, such as the T-zone or under eyes. For an all-over soft-matte effect, sweep a large brush across the compact and lightly dust over the face; reapply sparingly to avoid buildup.

• Press puff into foundation for precise setting and reduced transfer
• Sweep a fluffy brush for light, even mattifying coverage
• Keep in handbag for quick sweat- and shine-control touch-ups

Who is this for: This pressed powder is ideal for anyone who wants a long-wearing, natural finish without talc—especially those with makeup that needs to last through humid, active, or photographed conditions. It suits people seeking lightweight blurring and hydration support, plus anyone who prefers a portable compact for mid-day touch-ups.
