To achieve the Flawless Face, saturate the Velour Puff with Translucent Loose Setting Powder, working powder into puff by folding and rubbing the halves together. Tap off excess. Press puff onto skin using a rolling motion to set makeup.

Pro Tips:

•Double set areas that are more prone to shine and use a firmer pressure when pressing and rolling the puff.

•Spot set difficult-to-reach areas, like around nostrils, with a small flat tapered brush like Secret Camouflage Powder Brush.

“To make any lipstick long-wearing and transfer-resistant, try placing tissue over your lips and with Velour Puff press and roll powder into the tissue. Translucent Loose Setting Powder will absorb the excess moisture of the lipstick and keep it in place.” – Tayaba

    Translucent loose setting powder

    If we talk about classics in makeup, Laura Mercier's Translucent Loose Setting Powder is definitely one of them.

    ✅ Its ultra-fine texture seals the makeup without leaving it heavy.

    ✅ Controls shine for hours, ideal for hot climates and combination/oily skin.

    ✅ It leaves a soft, natural finish and with that "blur" effect that we love so much.

    What I like the most is that it does not alter the tone of the foundation and keeps the skin fresh, like freshly made up, for a very long time. 💫

    💡 Tip: Apply it with a tassel in the areas that tend to shine the most and with a loose brush for a light finish all over the face.

    I love this powder!

    Ever since I started using this powder, I've loved it. It sets my makeup and gives me that flawless, matte finish. It's almost like I have a filter on my face and it never makes me look cakey! I have a lot of humidity where I live and this helps to keep my makeup in place. This is my holy grail powder!
