Directions

- To achieve the Flawless Face, saturate the Velour Puff with Translucent Loose Setting Powder, working powder into puff by folding and rubbing the halves together.
- Tap off excess.
- Press puff onto skin using a rolling motion to set makeup.
- The finishing step to achieving Laura’s iconic Flawless Face, pair with your favourite Pure Canvas Primer and Laura Mercier Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer for her signature No Makeup, Makeup look.
Velour Puff sold separately.

Pro Tips:
“For very oily skin, I apply Translucent Loose Setting Powder with the Velour Puff before Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer and Concealer. Powder creates a barrier to absorb and prevent oil throughout the day.” - Jason.

“To make any lipstick long-wearing and transfer-resistant, try placing tissue over your lips and with Velour Puff press and roll powder into the tissue. Translucent Loose Setting Powder will absorb the excess moisture of the lipstick and keep it in place.” - Tayaba.

“To make any eyeshadow go on evenly and effortlessly blendable, I apply Translucent Loose Setting Powder on lids with Eye Color Brush and then apply Eyeshadow over top.” - Ryan.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Could be better Not my favourite setting powder, I find this is better for dryer skin than mine, I am combination skin and doesn’t help keep the oils at bay

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay This is better for dry skin, its too sheer not enough coverage. Huda beauty powder is a lot better for combo skin and has more longevity in keeping makeup intact

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Heavy I dont like it. Im pale and this gives my skin an orange cast. Its also very heavy and makes your foundation look heavy, dont buy if you want a real skin look.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Packaging could be better Here’s a polished version of your feedback that you could use in a review or message to the company: --- I've been using this powder for years and absolutely love it! The only drawback for me is the packaging. When too much powder comes out, there's no way to return the excess because the sifter grid can't be lifted. It would be so helpful if the design allowed you to open or remove the grid to access the remaining product—either to retrieve or put some back. Just a small tweak like that would make an already great product even better!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Fair skin - beware The product itself is great however it is VERY yellow on fair or cool toned skin. I had yellow circles under my eyes from even a light setting of concealer. Shame as it is listed as translucent - but this is not the case it is quite pigmented.

Hi ,  Does it alter the colour of your foundation and concealer?

I need a new setting powder for clients and just wanted to know if this powder causes flashback as I'd also be using it for bridal make up.

Asked by: Anonymous
Hey there, The main ingredients that cause flash back in make up products are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which are used in cosmetics with SPF. This product does not contain either of those ingredients which indicates it will not cause flashback. Hope this helps! Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.

Do you do... foundation-consealer-bronzer-Translucent powder? Or foundation-consealer-Translucent powder- bronzer? Need to know before purchasing, thank you :)

Asked by: Allana Louise
Hi there, Typically complexion products would be applied in the order; foundation, concealer, powder then finishing off with a bronzer. Hope this helps! Thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.

How do i apply my powder ? And when do i apply it? Thanks

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi, The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder can be applied after your foundation, this will help to set your makeup and lock it into place making it full proof all day long! The powder is to be applied with the Laura Mercier velour powder puff, dip your puff into the product then remove excess by tapping the puff on top of your hand. Gently press puff on the skin, using a rolling motion to "work" the powder into the skin. A little tip on how to make your lipstick stay put all day, apply a dust of this powder on top and watch how it won't budge. If you have any further queries please feel free to contact us at beautyexperts@feelunique.com Thanks, Jess - Beauty Expert
