Matte Radiance Baked Powder

HOLY GRAIL SETTING POWDER!!! This is just so perfect. The powder sets my base and my makeup stays on for all day. The translucent powder is a lightweight, sheer setting powder that leaves skin with a flawless finish. This powder is amazing; it gives such a natural look and makes my skin glow. You can't really even notice after you apply it, except for the fact that your skin looks perfect and smooth.This mattifies really well and it is perfect for touch-ups throughout the day, even though I hardly need much. This goes on so smoothly over my foundation, and it almost seems to blur out imperfections. It creates a matte finish with amazing coverage while absorbing oils and making the skin glow. < br class="Apple-interchange-newline" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard;"> Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder « less

I went into Sephora with the intention to buy the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder as I'd heard so many great things about it, but I too was convinced by an employee to get the Invisible powder. She said it was way better than the translucent one so against my better judgement I got it. Big mistake! I have oily skin but this powder managed to find every tiny little dry part of my face and cling to it, leaving little white patches all over my face. It also left a ghostly appearance to my skin, which I don't know who would want that. I feel like this powder would be good for someone with smooth and flawless skin. I will definitely be exchanging for the translucent one that I originally went in for.

All the hype around this setting powder drew me to trying this product for myself and I have to tell you, the hype was 100% true. Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder is the best that I have ever tried. My problem is that my T zone is extremely oily and I'd find myself constantly needing to reapply my powder to matte my natural glisten while the dry zones on my face became even drier. With other brand's setting powders I always seemed to have a chalk like finish on my face, no matter how little product I used or how well I buffed it out. I have NEVER had ANY of those problems when it's came to Laura Mercier's Setting Powder. I don't look caked on, chalky, oily, or overly dry. It leaves my face looking smooth and flawless. Also, if you're a fan off baking, this is the perfect powder for it. I've never gotten any flash back in pictures and it sets my makeup to last all day. Though this product is on the pricier side, it is well worth the money. One container will easily last me 2-3 months, even with everyday usage! « less

Wonderful blush with a light, creamy texture and not sticky. Lasts pretty long especially with a light dusting of loose powder which further extends the wear. Also, NO sparkles or shine and thank goodness for that as I'm far past doing the sparkly thing. Rosebud is a pretty warm pink but a bit light for my coloring but still doable. I already have two other colors - Canyon (a warm neutral/nude rose color of medium depth) and Sunset (a bright coral color that blends and sheers out well) both are terrific. These are my GO-TO blushes and use daily. Needed a pink blush so bought Rosebud. I love these cream blushes so much that I plan to try the remaining shades. Hope LM never discontinues.

It is a long-wearing, build-able highlighter that gives a natural-lookingglow. It had semi-sheer to mostly opaque coverage-so build-able, asbilled-that was easy to apply and build-up without it becoming toointense with respect to the finish. The texture was fairly smooth, soft,and blendable on the skin thatdoesn't impact the way it looks or wears from what I can tell. It didn'temphasize pores, though it is a more obvious highlighter, so if youprefer something subtle, I would recommend using a feathery brush and alighter hand.
