Ratings & Reviews

Here's what customers think
  • The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is praised for creating a smooth, natural-looking finish on the skin without appearing cakey or drying.
  • It helps control shine, set makeup, and extend its wear, even in hot and humid conditions.
  • The finely-milled, lightweight powder works well for both light setting and intense "baking" techniques, and performs admirably on a variety of skin types.
  • While the translucent shade is suitable for many skin tones, a few fair-skinned users noted it could appear slightly orange.

Flawless, smooth finish

This powder never lets me down. It sets makeup beautifully without making my skin look dry or cakey. It blurs pores really well and keeps shine under control for hours. I also love that it doesn’t alter the colour of my foundation. Definitely a classic for a reason.

Does its job well

I bought this on a whim on a visit to the Liverpool store. It gives a nice coverage - still letting you keep the glow without you looking too shiny or sweaty. Sets the rest of my makeup for a natural healthy finish. Shame the travel size didn’t come with a puff to apply so you still have to lug your brushes around

Great powder!

I love this powder from Laura Mercier. It works well with my combination skin and looks great even after a full day of wear. The mini size has lasted me ages so well worth the money and is not affecting by any of my other products. I would happily by this again and would buy as a gift!

Great for long wear

This powder is fantastic if you have oily or combo skin, I find that on me I don't need to touch up throughout the day to keep my t zone matte, whereas I normally have to buy lunch time. It can look a bit cakey if you pack it on though, but it looks lovely when applied sparingly. I'd also say it isn't strictly translucent, but it does blend in evenly for day to day wear. The travel size suits me as I take ages to get through powder, the only thing is that it makes it more tricky to dispense without making a mess!

The tone up rose with Talc powder best powder on the planet!!!

Laura mercier is the most wonderful powder for my pink and peachy and cream skin. Please, please, please,do not discontinue the Talc version the original version of this powder. It’s very much needed in my life, I deal with oily skin, and the ultra blurring makes my pores large, and my makeup is cakey at the end of the day although I do like the ultra blurring for underneath my eyes. I know that most people have oily skin and we need that mattifying ingredients that the other powder does not contain. And we also need to keep in mind that the original translucent is very warm based or yellow based powder and I have a very cool tone and I know a lot of people have very cool tone skin with pink undertones so we need to have these pink powders for the different types of light skin. They have honey and they have medium deep for deeper skin tones and I think it’s only fair that we have the rose and the translucent for the lighter skin tones. Thank you so much for making this incredible product and please I beg you to continue to make it as I will continue to purchase it on a constant. I am a makeup artist, and I use it on my wedding make up looks and the original formula is still my most favorite because even though it’s mattifying, it still gives you a beautiful glow thank you so much.

Great setting powder

I've used this loose setting powder for years and I absolutely love it! I have oily skin, so it helps reduce oily shine on my face throughout the day. It's also very light.

Soft and smooth

This translucent powder makes my face look smoother and softer. I experience no caking or build up in wrinkles and creases in my face with it.
