Translucent Loose Setting Powder

This bestselling translucent powder sets your makeup for longer wear. Created in two shades for all skin tones, the soft-focus effect subtly blurs the look of fine lines and imperfections, and it doesn't settle into lines or pores. The result is natural-looking, never powdery or cakey. Apply this powder with the Laura Mercier Velour Puff to create a soft, matte finish for a look that will last all day.

Translucent: Perfect for Fair to Medium Skintones
Translucent Medium Deep: Perfect for Medium Deep to the Deepest Skintones

Application:
Preparing the puff is key: press the Velour Powder Puff into the loose powder, then work the powder into the puff by folding and rubbing the halves together, or by tapping the powdered side vigorously on back of hand. Gently press puff onto skin, using a rolling motion to "work" the powder in. (Around eyes, use Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes.) As with all Setting Powders, apply after any creamy formulas, including cream blush.

Pro Tip: When your entire makeup application is complete, including colour, give your skin a velvety, finished look by using the Powder Brush to apply Translucent Loose Setting Powder to sides of cheeks, center of forehead, nose, and tip of chin.

Setting has always been a pillar of Laura's Flawless Face technique. Her philosophy is that once you've created the perfect canvas, you "set" everything so it stays in place. Inspired by this philosophy, Laura created our best-selling Translucent Loose Setting Powder to set your makeup. It's one of the very first artistry products she created and is now available in a deeper shade - Translucent Medium Deep.

"Designed to be truly translucent on medium-deep to the deepest skin tones, so every skin can enjoy a perfectly flawless, translucent finish. "I created this new shade to look natural and translucent on even the deepest skin tones - so every woman can achieve a flawless finish." - Laura Mercier
