Product Details

Web ID: 472114
Oil-free, oil-controlling, ultra-sheer setting powder minimizes shine and visible breakthrough with a naturally derived Shine Control Complex. Subtle mint green tint helps tone down redness. Makeup stays fresh, flawless and shine-free. Delivers a matte finish. Transparent shade works on all skin tones.

Like all Laura Mercier Setting Powders, it has a soft-focus effect that subtly blurs the look of fine lines and imperfections. Doesn't settle into fine lines or pores and never looks cakey.

Oil-free. Formulated without talc. Formulated without fragrance. Non-comedogenic. Dermatologist tested.

The compact includes a double-sided applicator. Begin by using the sponge side of the applicator to pick up powder from the compact using a dabbing motion. Lightly press onto the back of the hand to evenly dispense the product into the applicator. Next, using a light patting motion, gently press the powdered sponge onto skin. Apply all over, especially on shine-prone areas such as forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin (around eyes, use Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes). Then use the puff side of the applicator to softly buff away any excess powder for a matte, flawless finish. As with all Setting Powders, apply after any creamy formulas, including cream blush.

Forsure Shine Control

This product does exactly what it says it's going to do! I was scared there might be a green cast after using but there was not.

Nothing compares!

i’ve been using the shine control powder for years. I apply it over my mineral powder foundation on my tzone and my make up stays on all day and looks fresh until I take it off at night. This green powder really prevents any oily T-zone from occurring. No other powder I've tried works this well. It's also invisible which is fantastic!

This is an excellent powder for shine and redness control. It is so finely milled that it disappears on your skin. There is no chalkiness.

OK

If I am honest I don't use this anymore I don't think it has made a massive difference. Having suffered shiny skin all my life I have given up hope and embraced it more, thankfully a matt look is not the look anymore and a natural shine is better. Bought it in the summer and before a holiday but did not think it was any better than regular powder at preventing shine.

Nice powder

Good powder for everyday! I like it and use it regularly ... however sometimes when my skin is really dry I avoid using it because it contours my dark spots. However it makes a really beautiful skin when my skin is good hydrated :) love this look!!

One of the best

Some reviews I’ve seen have commented on the size - too bulky. Maybe it’s more a reflection on the size of bag I carry, but I think it’s compact enough to carry round. That said, I don’t use the puff that comes with it. Prefer using a brush. In terms of the setting powder, it is one of the best I’ve used. Bought the translucent shade and it is just that – translucent. Gives the skin a smooth flawless look and sets make up without adding colour. It is mattifying without making you look flat.

A MUST have in your make-up bag for OILY SKIN

I have tried all different types of loose/compact powder, including Laura Mercier's famous translucent setting powder and nothing has worked to control my shine! I brought this and I must say I do really like it. It comes in a compact form as stated and comes with a little sponge that helps you apply it. The sponge is very flimsy so I use the sponge when I am going foundation free, and a large powder brush for when I have full face on (personal preference), it makes you look more airbrushed. The powder itself is very silky and has almost a greenish coloring to it, don’t be put off by this like I was! Only downside is that it doesn’t really blur your pores but it’s defo worth a try! Due to it being a compact powder, I always worry that it won’t last long.. Sometimes small bits of the powder around the edges can break off, however this has lasted me ages!
