The powder creates a barrier that absorbs and prevents oil throughout the day." - Jason

"For a lipstick to last long and resist transfer, using the Velor Puff, Squeeze and roll the Translucent Loose Setting Powder into a tissue then place it on your lips. Translucent Loose Setting Powder will absorb excess moisture from the lipstick and increase its hold." - Tayaba

Classic for a reason!

This is such a classic for a reason! I am a makeup artist and have used it in my kit for years. So smoothing/blurring and great for oil control! My only gripe is that the translucent does not work for super fair skin and can oxidize a bit. Overall a great product!

It’s a good basic luxury powder

This translucent powder works well, period. It sets makeup flawlessly, controls shine, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Honestly, I would compare it to any other luxury translucent powder—smooth, lightweight, and effective. No complaints, but it doesn’t stand out as a must-have or game-changer. It does the job, just not in a niche way.

Best powder

After using this product, it makes my makeup look smoother. I have oily skin and it blends well. I am also medium complexion and it doesn't leave cakey look. Its great for under eyes as well. Very smooth and would highly recommend.

Staple for a reason!

I have used this product for years and really love it. This powder is super lightweight and finely milled. I do t love that it is a loose powder, but loose powder gives the best results so it is worth it. I’m very happy with the powder and will continue to repurchase.

The best for oily tzone

I have combo skin, normal all over and oily in the t zone and this powder keeps me set and matte all day. I do not crease, i do not get any flashback, and it smooths all the areas I put this powder over. I use it to set my primer, my under eye, my foundation, my eyebrows just everything. It's a catch all powder for me. Its not too matte where I cant recommend it to some, it's for everyone.

Thank you Laura Mercier for sending this powder to me for free through BzzAgent in exchange for an honest review. I love this powder!

Makes my makeup look airbrushed and professional!

This is my ride or die! I can do my full face of makeup, be COMPLETELY finished - and until I put this on, I look like a clown. This is my last step (aside from setting spray). I use a full base - primer, liquid foundation, bronzer, and blush, and then powder version of all 3. I look ridiculous, then I apply this - BAM. Perfect. It brings all of the parts of my look together and makes my face look absolutely airbrushed. I will even put it on one side first at a time just so I can see the difference - and it’s a HUGE difference. I am in no way a makeup professional, but this makes it look like I got my makeup done. I apply using the Laura Mercier velour puff, but use a smaller angled puff for corners and small areas. It works on all puffs. It makes my makeup last forever (along with setting spray) - the 2 pictures are from the beginning of the day, and then end of the night (13 hours later!) and makeup was still going STRONG. For reference, I have combination skin that starts dry and gets very oily throughout the day, and I am 39 with skin that is starting be in the “aging” category. I keep seeing videos of other powders that everyone swears by and think of trying them, but if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. And love this. I can’t imagine another one working better.

As much as I love this for decade, I hate the package. Why does have to be so difficult to open the lid to use rest of powder when it’s almost gone? It’s so annoying. Other than that, this is my fav powder for
