Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Talc-Free Setting Powder Ultra-Blur, 16HR Hydrating Wear, Natural Finish, Hyaluronic Acid-Infused, Normal to Dry & Mature Skin

The finishing touch my skin deserves—soft, blurred, and never drying. As part of my self-care journey after skin cancer surgery, I’ve been leaning into products that enhance rather than mask—and Laura Mercier’s Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder fits beautifully into that philosophy. This powder sets my makeup without ever making it look cakey or flat. It leaves a smooth, natural finish that blurs pores and softens fine lines—especially in my T-zone—while still letting my skin shine through. I use it to set under-eye concealer, around the nose, and lightly across the forehead, and it never creases or clings to dry spots. The texture is finely milled and lightweight, and it plays well with both cream and liquid products in my routine. I love that it’s talc-free, which gives me peace of mind about long-term skin health, especially as someone who’s become more ingredient-conscious. Bonus: it looks so elegant sitting on my vanity alongside my vintage misters and skin mists—because yes, aesthetics matter too. If you’re looking for a setting powder that feels like skincare, this is a worthy staple. It’s gentle, effective, and worth every penny.

This is one of the best makeup powders I’ve used. It controls oil really well while still keeping the skin looking smooth and glowy, not dry or cakey. My makeup stays in place for hours without needing many touch-ups. I recommend the translucent shade because it doesn’t change the color of any makeup underneath and blends seamlessly into the skin. It works well over foundation and concealer and gives a soft, natural finish!

The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder is a game changer. It sets my makeup beautifully, blurs imperfections, and leaves my skin looking smooth and flawless every time. No flashback, no cakiness just a soft, airbrushed finish that lasts all day. This powder has definitely earned a permanent spot in my makeup routine.

Best setting powder I’ve ever used!

The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder truly lives up to the hype. It sets my makeup beautifully without looking cakey or heavy, and it leaves a smooth, soft-focus finish that blurs imperfections effortlessly. I especially love how it controls shine throughout the day without dulling my skin’s natural glow. It’s incredibly lightweight and finely milled, so it never settles into fine lines or emphasizes texture. A little goes a long way, making the jar last for months, even with daily use. Whether I’m doing a full glam look or just setting a tinted moisturizer, this powder keeps everything in place. It’s a makeup bag essential for me now — perfect for all skin types and truly worth the investment!

It works very well at holding your makeup! I tested it at the gym once and slept in my makeup once. After the gym it was still perfect and in the morning I would say about half of my foundation and most of my highlight was still on my skin. I couldn’t see the bronzer/blush anymore. Please keep in mind one of the #1 ingredients is aluminum starch. If that’s not your thing, keep scrolling. I will say that’s what held my makeup so well from sweating. I will personally only use this for special occasions.

Good quality powder. I use this to lightly set my sunscreen. It evens out my tone and any shine from the sunscreen.

I'm impressed at the hydration of this powder. I have been all that enthused with this brands baked makeup, but this powder is good.

ممتاز، استخدام مع اسفنجة رطبة، طبقيه على الاسفنجة طبطبيه على يدك اول و طبطبي بشكل خفيف المناطق الدهنية، طبقة خفيفة جدا لان يمتص الدهون فممكن بترك خطوط مثلا تخت العين لكن طبقة جدا خفيفة مناسبة انه ما يترك دهن تحت العين مثلا.

Muy bonito polvo

This is simply outstanding! The very best setting powder I’ve ever had! You really do get the soft focus blur effect and it doesn’t sit in wrinkles or pores. It’s comfortable to wear and I apply mine with a brush, although I have also tried a powder puff. For me the brush gives a more natural look. A little goes a long way. Although it’s expensive, it’s going to last for ages! My skin tone is fair to medium and the translucent is perfect! I absolutely won’t buy anything else now! Incredible! I can’t stop looking at my reflection 😌

A bit pricey but best quality..velvet finish..Lasts all day.. Reccomend.Best applied with powder puff,gentle dabs where needed..
