Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Talc-Free Setting Powder Ultra-Blur — Fair to Medium, Hyaluronic Acid & Oil-Control for Pore Blur

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Talc-Free Setting Powder Ultra-Blur is a finely milled, hydrating setting powder that blurs pores and extends makeup wear for up to 16 hours without flashback.

This award-winning loose powder is formulated to set foundation and concealer while delivering a soft-focus, natural finish. Talc-free and infused with hyaluronic acid, it controls shine and keeps skin feeling comfortable, making it suitable for a range of skin types from dry to combination. The formula disappears on the skin for a translucent effect specifically tuned for fair to medium tones.

How does this powder reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines?

The Ultra-Blur powder uses ultra-finely milled silica powders to scatter light and create a soft-focus effect that makes texture less visible. Amino acids in the formula help the powder sit smoothly on skin, minimizing settling into lines while leaving a velvety finish.

• Silica particles diffuse light to soften pores and imperfections
• Ultra-fine milling ensures an undetectable, smooth surface
• Amino acids promote even adherence without cakey buildup

Will this setting powder make my makeup last all day?

Yes — the powder is engineered to extend wear, helping foundation and concealer stay put for up to 16 hours under normal conditions. It locks in cream and liquid formulas while controlling oil and shine so your look holds up longer through the day.

• Sets makeup to reduce movement and transfer
• Oil-absorbing components regulate shine for lasting wear
• Lightweight texture prevents heaviness or cakiness

Is the powder suitable for dry skin if it contains oil-control ingredients?

Although it controls shine, the talc-free Ultra-Blur powder includes hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration and a comfortable finish that won’t overly dry the skin. The result is a natural, non-matte look that works on drier complexions without emphasizing flakes.

• Hyaluronic acid provides water-attracting hydration
• Formulation balances oil control with skin comfort
• Translucent finish avoids an overly flat, powdered appearance

Will it cause flashback in photos?

No — this powder is designed to be truly translucent and free of flashback. The ultra-fine milling and color-neutral formulation allow the powder to disappear into the skin so photographed results look natural under flash and natural light.

• Color-neutral particles prevent white-cast in photos
• Fine texture blends seamlessly with foundation pigments
• Tested to avoid flash reflection for real-world photography

Who this is for: Makeup lovers who want an invisible, long-wearing finish that reduces the look of pores and fine lines without sacrificing comfort. It's ideal for those with fair to medium complexions seeking a talc-free option that hydrates with hyaluronic acid while controlling shine, as well as photographers and everyday users who need a no-flash, photo-friendly powder. If you prefer a weightless, skin-like finish that extends makeup longevity, this formula delivers a soft-focus, camera-ready veil.
