Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder — Blurring & Finishing, 1 oz, 24HR Matte Shine Control

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a cult-favorite finishing powder that mattifies, blurs pores and locks makeup in place with no flashback.

This lightweight, truly translucent loose powder delivers a soft-focus matte finish while controlling shine and helping makeup stay color-true from day to night. Formulated for normal to oily, mature and sensitive skin types, the powder comes in four shades to complement a wide range of complexions and is crafted without fragrance. Its blend of skin-friendly amino acids, vitamins C and E and a botanical blurring powder helps absorb oil and create a silky, photo-ready surface without settling into lines or looking cakey.

How does this powder keep skin matte all day?

The formula absorbs excess oil and reduces surface shine to prolong a matte complexion. While the powder helps makeup stay put for up to 16 hours, its oil-control properties support extended shine control—up to 24 hours depending on skin type and conditions. It is finely milled to sit lightly on the skin, preventing patchiness or cakiness.

• Micro-fine translucent powder for seamless blending
• Botanical blurring powder that diffuses light and texture
• Oil-absorbing ingredients to reduce midday shine
• Non-cakey finish that preserves foundation coverage

Will this show up in photos or flashback?

No—this loose powder is designed to be photo-friendly and avoid white cast or flashback. Its truly translucent shade range helps maintain the true tone of foundation under camera flash and bright lighting. The refined particles disperse evenly so the skin appears natural and blurred rather than powdery.

• Translucent shades formulated to be color-true in photos
• Fine particle size reduces reflective flashback
• Works over liquid, cream and powder foundations

How do I apply it for the best blurring effect?

Laura Mercier recommends the signature press-and-roll technique using the Velour Puff: press into the powder, tap off excess, then press and roll across the skin to set foundation. This method deposits a thin, even veil of product that blurs pores and fine lines without overloading skin. For touch-ups, a fluffy brush can pick up a light dusting to refresh shine control.

• Saturate puff, tap off excess, press-and-roll to set the T-zone and under-eyes
• Use a precise brush for targeted touch-ups and a larger brush for all-over finish
• Pair with your favorite foundation or wear alone to soften texture

What ingredients help skin look smoother over time?

Beyond immediate mattifying benefits, this powder includes vitamin C and E plus amino acids to support skin compatibility and a smoother appearance. A botanical blurring powder helps diffuse the look of pores and surface irregularities right away. The formula is dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free and vegan to suit sensitive skin preferences.

• Vitamin C and E for antioxidant support and skin-friendly formulation
• Amino acids that promote a silky, comfortable feel
• Botanical blurring powder to soften texture and pore appearance
• Fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested and vegan

Who is this for: This setting powder is made for anyone wanting a lightweight, non-cakey matte finish—especially those with oily, combination, mature or sensitive skin who need long-lasting shine control. It suits people who want a photo-safe translucent powder that blurs pores, pairs easily with any foundation and delivers a refined, camera-ready finish in a 1 oz jar.
