Details & care

What it is: A sheer, silky, best-selling powder that sets your makeup and feels luxuriously dense in the jar and refined on your skin.

Who it's for: Anyone with normal to oily skin types.

What it does: It applies evenly and blends effortlessly, leaving behind a modern matte finish with a touch of sheer coverage. The translucent shade works on virtually all skin types. Like all Laura Mercier setting powders, it has a soft-focus effect that subtly blurs the look of fine lines and imperfections. It won't settle into fine lines or pores and never looks cakey.

How to use: Preparing the puff (sold separately) is key. Press the powder puff into the loose powder, then work the powder into the puff by folding and rubbing the halves together or by tapping the powdered side vigorously on the back of your hand. Gently press the puff onto your skin, using a rolling motion to work the powder in. As with all setting powders, apply after any creamy formulas, including crème blush.

  • Powder only. Puff sold separately.
  • Available in 0.33oz. or 1oz.
  • Oil-free

Translucent setting powder

Best powder, sheer, lasts along time. Just wish a puff came with it.

Should be listed as MINI

Every other retailer states that it is the mini size. This is not a deal. In fact, it is sometimes the free gift with purchase. It's great powder, just go to Sephora and buy the full size and earn points.

The Best

At the beautiful age of 68, I've been using this powder for about 15 years. It truly makes everything glow, and is the perfect powder to set all my other makeup. It doesn't settle into lines, it finishes so beautifully, covers well and yet there is a luminescent, translucent quality to it that lasts all day and night. It also reflects the skin tone of the wearer - I just loaned some to a friend whose son was getting married. She hardly ever wears makeup, and even though she's more olive toned than I, she just glowed with this product, and borrowed it to carry cross country for the special moments. I can't recommend it more highly for any age!

Loving this product!

I love how it sets my makeup so nicely without making my face look powdery or cakey. It gives my makeup a smooth, natural finish while keeping everything in place. Definitely a favorite!

A makeup staple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this powder for a few years and even when I stray to a different brand I always come back to this. A keeper for sure.
