A great fininish touch...very light, translucent, powder. A great value, for both the results and the length of replinishing time.

Work for me! - 03.21.10
I bought this setting powder especially for my wedding. I still have few months to go till then, but I wanted to try it out and know that I am choosing the right product. SO far, I love it. I t makes my skin very soft. Only complain is that it is a little whitish when applied but that is corrected with some bronzer or blush.

LOVE THIS - 03.20.10
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

I use a lot of Laura Mercier and this has got to be one of my all time favorites. In the summer when I have a tan this translucent setting powder is all I wear on my face after moisturizer. Gives sheer coverage, diminishes some of red in my very fair skin, does not go on chalky at all, sets my makeup for hours, and absorbs oil. My skin ends up feeling like silk and looking like porcelain. A little goes a long way, so even though it is expensive it is the one product I really will not do without. Since my skin tone changes shade from season to season I love the translucent powder because it is always exactly right!

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

I just purchased this powder and absolutely love it! You don't need to use very much on your brush as it will go a long way. Very light weight on your face.

Used this for years and it's great. Finely milled, goes on beautifully. Not currently using a Mercier foundation, but this is still the best powder I've used.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

I bought the Laura Mercier powder, foundation and primer. I just love her stuff. This powder makes my skin look even more flawless than it already does thanks to her foundation and primer. I would say it lasts a good 6-8 hours before i get a little shine. my skin looks great all day.. Since I began using this so many people have told me my skin looks great and it does not make me break out at all!

It was ok, but I definately won't be buying it again. It never provided the coverage i was looking for and ddin't blend well into my skin.

Test it in the store before you buy it...

great loose setting and anti-shine powder - 03.10.10
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

This is the second container of this I've bought. Very light, makes makeup look natural, very translucent, creates smooth finish, and not too drying for older skin.

My favorite loose powder! - 03.07.10
Quick Take: oil-absorbing

I did a lot of research before buying this product. It was recommended for oily skin. I liked it from day 1 and said so in a previous review. I've been using it for just over a couple of months now and wanted to update everyone that I am still thrilled with this product. It does not make me breakout and I love how smooth it makes me complexion look. Definitely recommended.

Best for a reason - 03.06.10
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

This is my first time using "loose setting powder" to set my foundation and concealer. i used to just use my powder foundation but this product does seem to do a better job. it doesn't dry my skin out and it prevents my concealer from getting creased/gross.

it makes my foundation look more natural/lighter too. when i use my foundation as my 'loose powder', it sometimes looks a little heavy and noticeable.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

Im super picky with foundation and powers and after reading the reviews I bought this one. I love it, It gives my skin a nice flawless matte look that lasts a good 6-8 hours. It also did not make me break out at all and my skin is very sensitive to that. I liked it so much I just bought her foundation too!

Re-purchase! - 03.02.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, fine texture

This is the second or third time I have purchased this product, so that certainly speaks volumes! I discovered this in the Laura Mercier set with the (nude) tinted moisturizer. Both are great products! I have been very happy with the performance of both the powder and the tinted moisturizer!

Love IT! All her products so far ROCK! - 03.02.10
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage

got a taste of this with her flawless face kit. had to have more. I use it now over her mineral powder to set it and if I get a bit shiny later in the day.
But it can be used with just the tinted moisturizer & camoflouge. Love it!
