Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Translucent Loose Setting Powder

I have been a longtime user of Laura Mercier’s original Loose Setting Powder. It was the second to last step in my makeup routine. For years I have finished my makeup routine with a very light dusting of the loose setting powder and then I spritz my face with makeup finishing spray.

I recently upgraded the original and best-selling setting powder to the new Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder and my makeup finishing routine has now changed — for the better!

Makeup Finishing Routine

The new Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a game-changer in the makeup finishing routine. With 16 hours (or more) of wear and an ultra-blurring finish, this talc-free formula sets makeup like never before.

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder

For the first time, Laura made her iconic powder free from talc, but she did so without sacrificing any benefits. This translucent powder sets makeup for 16 hours of weightless wear with an ultra-blurring, soft-matte finish. Like the original, it is finely milled to deliver incredible staying power.

The powder is weightless and delivers a texture-free finish so skin looks and feels soft, smooth, and flawless from the second you put it on until you take it off. The powder blurs away the look of pores, fine lines, and any imperfections. It controls shine like no one’s business. With the perfect blend of ingredients including amino acids and hyaluronic acid, the powder is comfortable for all-day wear, even on the driest of skins.

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder comes in three shades that work for virtually all skin tones.

• Translucent: Perfect for Fair to Medium Skin Tones.

• Translucent Honey: Sets medium skin tones with olive and golden undertones.

• Translucent Medium Deep: Ideal for medium-deep to deep skin tones.

I most often use the translucent shade, but when I have been going barefaced with my deeper self-tan, I do dust on the Translucent Medium Deep shade. It is much deeper than I thought, so I make sure to swirl a bit of the powder in the cap and then dust a bit of it in a tissue before applying it to my face.
