Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, 1 oz — Blurring, 24HR Matte Finish for Oily & Mature Skin

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a lightweight finishing powder that mutes shine, blurs pores and locks makeup in place for long-lasting, color-true matte wear.

Designed as a cult-favorite finishing step, this translucent loose powder creates a soft-focus, photo-friendly finish without settling into fine lines or appearing cakey. The formula is available in four translucent shades to flatter fair through deep tones, and it combines skin-supporting vitamins with oil-absorbing powders to help makeup stay fresh while feeling breathable. Ideal for everyday use or long events, it pairs with creams, liquids and powders and works across normal, oily, mature and sensitive skin types.

How does this powder keep makeup matte all day?

The powder uses a blend of absorbent, finely milled powders that take up excess oil and diffuse shine while preserving natural-looking color. Its texture is featherweight so it sits on the skin rather than building up, allowing foundation and concealer to stay put longer.

• Micro-fine particles absorb oil without adding weight
• Blurring powder softens the look of pores and texture
• No flashback formula maintains true color in photos
• Works over multiple foundation types for extended wear

Will this powder emphasize fine lines or look cakey on mature skin?

No—this formulation is created to avoid creasing or settling into lines. Because the formula is ultra-fine and applied with a press-and-roll method, it blends evenly and produces a silky finish rather than a dry, chalky layer.

• Featherweight feel prevents cakey buildup
• Press-and-roll application smooths product into skin
• Designed to minimize settling into fine lines
• Dermatologist-tested and fragrance-free for gentle wear

Which application technique gives the best results?

Use the signature Velour Puff with the press-and-roll motion: load the puff, tap off excess, then press and roll across skin. This method sets makeup evenly, seals edges, and avoids disturbing underlying foundation for a long-lasting, natural-looking matte finish.

• Saturate the Velour Puff for an even pick-up
• Tap to remove excess powder before application
• Press and roll to set without rubbing makeup away
• Reapply lightly to targeted oily zones as needed

What skin benefits are inside the formula?

Beyond mattifying, the powder includes vitamins and amino acids that support skin appearance while botanical blurring powders help reduce the visual impact of pores. The result is a silky-soft feel with cosmetic benefits that complement daily makeup routines.

• Contains Vitamins C and E to support skin’s look
• Amino acids help maintain a skin-friendly texture
• Botanical blurring powder creates a soft-focus effect
• Vegan, fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin

Who this is for: If you want a proven finishing powder that keeps makeup color-true, controls shine and creates a blurred, matte finish without heavy buildup, this Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a strong option. It’s particularly useful for anyone with oily or combination skin, people who prefer a lightweight feel, and those who need makeup to photograph well and last through long days or events.
