Product Information

Full details

The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Medium Deep is an essential product for individuals seeking a long-wearing, blurring setting powder that flawlessly locks makeup in place while preserving foundation color. Its primary benefit is providing 16-hour wear with zero flashback and an instant soft-focus blurring effect, though effective application is key for optimal results. This exceptionally milled formula is breathable, reduces shine, and feels weightless on the skin, contributing to a smooth and natural finish for medium deep to deep skin tones.

FAQs

Is the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Medium Deep suitable for all skin types?

Yes, this powder is dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, and combination skin.

Will this powder cause flashback in photos?

No, one of the key features of this powder is 'zero flashback,' ensuring your skin looks natural and flawless even under flash photography.

How long does the powder last on the skin?

The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder provides 16-hour wear, helping your makeup stay fresh and set throughout the day.

Can I use this powder for 'baking'?

Absolutely. For a more intense set and increased oil control, you can apply a generous amount to desired areas (like the under-eye or T-zone), let it sit for a few minutes, then dust off the excess.

Does this powder change the color of my foundation?

No, this powder is designed to be truly translucent, meaning it sets your makeup without altering the color of your foundation or concealer. The 'Medium Deep' shade is specifically formulated to be invisible on medium deep to deep skin tones.

What is the best way to apply this powder for a smooth finish?

For an airbrushed, smooth finish, apply the powder using a velour puff. Press and roll the puff firmly into the skin, particularly in areas prone to shine or creasing, to ensure the powder blends seamlessly.

Are there any skin-benefiting ingredients in this powder?

Yes, the formula includes Vitamin C and E powders for an even-toned complexion, Botanical Blurring Powder for pore blurring, and Skin Conditioning Powder for oil absorption and an undetectable finish.

Troubleshooting

Makeup looks cakey or heavy after applying powder.

Ensure you are using a very light hand and tapping off all excess powder from your brush or puff. Try pressing the powder into the skin rather than sweeping, and use a smaller amount, building up if needed.

Powder doesn't seem to last the full 16 hours.

Ensure your skin is properly prepped and primed before foundation. For extended wear, try the 'baking' technique in areas that require extra longevity or tend to get oily quickly.

My skin still looks shiny after application.

Focus application more intensely on oily areas, such as the T-zone. You might also consider using a mattifying primer underneath your foundation for enhanced oil control.

The powder appears to alter my foundation color or leave a white cast.

While designed to be truly translucent, ensure you're using the 'Medium Deep' shade appropriate for your skin tone. Apply a thin layer. If using flash photography, ensure proper light conditions and that the powder is fully blended into the skin.

Powder settles into fine lines or wrinkles.

Ensure your under-eye area and other fine-lined areas are well-hydrated before applying makeup. Use a very minimal amount of powder in these areas and press it in gently with a small puff or brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Application

  1. Prepare: Ensure your skin is cleansed and moisturized, and your liquid or cream foundation and concealer are applied and blended.
  2. Dispense: Gently tap a small amount of the loose powder into the lid of the container.
  3. Load Tool: Dip a velour puff or a large, fluffy powder brush into the powder, ensuring an even coating. Tap off any excess product back into the lid to prevent over-application.
  4. Apply:
  • For a Pressed Finish (using a puff): Press and roll the puff firmly onto your skin, focusing on areas like the T-zone, under eyes, and chin where makeup tends to crease or shine. This method helps to melt the powder into the skin for a smooth, airbrushed effect.
  • For a Lighter Set (using a brush): Lightly sweep the brush over your entire face in gentle, circular motions or pressing motions to set your makeup.
  1. Dust Off: Use a clean, fluffy brush to gently dust off any visible excess powder for a seamless finish.

Compatibility

  • Skin Types: This powder is suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. It is non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested.
  • Skin Tones: The "Medium Deep" shade is specifically designed to be truly translucent and complement medium deep to deep skin tones without altering foundation color.
  • Makeup Products: Compatible with most liquid, cream, and stick foundations and concealers.

Care

  • Storage: Keep the powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its finely milled texture and integrity.
  • Lid: Always ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent spills and keep the powder fresh.
  • Cleaning Tools: Regularly clean your velour puff and makeup brushes to ensure hygienic application and optimal product performance.
