    Holy grail powder

    This is my all time favorite powder. It’s so Finely milled that it won’t look dry under the eyes or on dry patches. I am able to use it under my eyes without looking cakey. It’s last all day and sets my makeup for hours. Highly recommend if you love a powder that makes your skin look flawless.

    Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder is a standout in the world of setting powders. It lives up to the hype, offering a smooth, flawless finish with impressive wear time. While it may not be the best for those with very dry skin without extra prep, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to lock in makeup and blur imperfections. The high quality and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a dependable setting powder that delivers on both performance and finish.

    I’ve been using the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder and now I totally get the hype. It’s honestly a game changer. It sets my makeup without feeling heavy or looking cakey, and I love how it keeps shine under control all day. My skin looks smooth, my foundation stays put, and there’s no flashback in photos, just a flawless finish every time.
