Laura Mercier Loose Powder

Pros: Fantastic formula; leaves skin flawless; Translucent shade is colorless
Cons: wish it controlled oil better, but it's okay

I’m sure it’s no surprise that I’m always on the hunt for new cosmetic/beauty products to try. I’ve branched out a lot over the last year and tried lots and lots of stuff, but recently I was introduced to a fabulous line of products...

Pros: Silky smooth powder, beautiful finish, doesn't change colors on my oily skin
Cons: None!!!

Although my Laura Mercier obsession has been fairly recent, there was one product I've used for much longer: her Translucent Loose Powder. It was probably the item that lead me to try new things in her line and fall in love with it! I've ...

Pros: Looks Natural, Doesn't Cake, Easy Application, Sets Makeup Very Well
Cons: Absolutely Nothing

I bought this after hearing many glowing reviews on Laura Mercier's Loose Powder. Can this loose powder really make that much of a difference in how your makeup looks? The answer is most definitely yes! ^^^What's inside the package?^^^ ...

Pros: Oil free
Doesn't cake
Matte coverage
Cons: Can't think of any - great powder!

I know this product already has five stars, but I can’t help but weigh in on what a great powder this is! I’ve been a Laura Mercier fan for years, and even though I’ve moved on to different foundations, etc – I still use (and ...

Pros: Light, easy to apply and stays put.
Cons: None that I can think of

This loose powder is truly the best.
I use the translucent and it leaves a smooth, matte, natural finish to your make-up. Perfect!
It may not be an oil-control (which would only be a bonus) - but I do notice that I only need to blot with tissue about once a day (and tons of make-up does NOT come off with it) whereas I was having to do it several times a day before.

Pros: Lots of shades, lots of product, lots of uses
Cons: Doesn't travel well

I cannot believe how wonderful this powder is! Normally powders create a dried, cakey look to my skin as well as never matching my skintone. I have tried many, many powders, and can honestly say none of them live up to this one. My mom and my boyfriend's mom got hooked on it as well. So what do three very different skintoned ladies love about this powder?

#1 It's loose. I don't know why it feels so much better than pressed, but all three of us agree that there is a big difference.

#2 You get a ton of it. The price seemed steep to me at first, but I'm so glad I didn't back out on it. I'll have it for a very long time, since you don't really use that much.

#3 It's not just a face powder. I love this as a nude eyeshadow, it really opens up my eyes. It isn't shimmery like all of the nude eyeshadows out there, so it doesn't look like I've got a disco ball on for eyeshadow. It wears well, doesn't fade, and doesn't crease.
