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.

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.

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.

DO NOT BUY so small
The quality is good as usual for mercier but like someone else said, it’s so small… its final sale so I can’t return it…
It’s my fault that I didn’t read the description
DONT recommend it!

Perfect Finishing Touch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this translucent face powder! It goes on smoothly, feels lightweight, and helps set my makeup without looking cakey or heavy. It gives my skin a soft, natural finish and helps control shine throughout the day. Definitely a product I would recommend!

Great Powder
I love how silky smooth it glides on without the heavy caked on look.
