PRO TIP
For the most flawless, natural look, Laura says it's key to avoid over-applying foundation to the middle of the face—where too much formula can accentuate lines and other imperfections. With liquid, crème, or powder, she recommends starting at the outer portion of the face and working inward towards the nose. Focus on one area at a time and be sure to blend well. Avoid excess application around eyes or the contours of the face. Repeat application until desired coverage is achieved.
Remember, use Foundation to even out your skin tone. Use Concealer to camouflage imperfections.

I got this in Influenster Beauty Box and was so excited to try this out. I got to try for the first time and felt , why did i miss this these many years. It is perfect for setting the makeup and to blur fine lines and pores, giving you an extra-perfect look and very easy to use. I would definitely recommend to others and everyone should give a try. Loved it !

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
I am in love woth this powder. It is not thick or cakey with no flashback at all. My face looked flawless for over 5 hrs. My face is very oily and usually only lasts 2 at the smost before I am blotting and retouching. I even used the wrong primer/foundation combo and it still lasted longer. It looked flawless had no smell and wasnt super drying.

I have tried numerous powders over the years and this by far one of my favorites. I love the finish it leaves on the skin. It's not matte and it's not overly glowy either. Very much a skin like, natural sort of finish. This color is a tad bit dark for me, but I will definitely be repurchasing this in a lighter shade when I use this one up. It reminds me a lot of the mac mineralize skin finish natural in a lot of ways. The powder is super fine and I don't find it to enhance dryness or texture. I like to mix it with a translucent powder like the rcma no color powder to dilute the color a bit and use the mixture as an all over setting powder. If I ever get a bit of a tan I can also use this like a powder foundation. I like the sifter on this as well as it is adjustable.
I looovvve this product sooo much! When I do a dewy makeup look, I put the this powder on my skin and it balances my skin to a matte and dewy look. The size is also perfect and the traveled size is perfect for traveling. Definitely recommend this!

This has been my go to mineral powder for the last 10 years! I love the coverage as I can build it up or apply just one layer over my foundation! This is one product that will forever live in my kit! Laura Mercier Mineral Powder
Just love it i saw it on and artist and i asked her and she did a tutorial explaining how to used . I went to Sephora to buy it. At my first use I LOVE IT for real and if you combine it with the spray for long use of make up is better

Of course I love Laura Mercier and this powder. I can go out and just wear this for work without anything else. And it last me for 6 months. I would definitely repurchase and would recommend to everyone.
Review for: Warm Bronze more...
It is the perfect color for my skin, I mean I know its translucent.... but yeah its awesome, I put on my foundation and concealer and then submerge my face with this stuff and after my bronzer and blush it doesn't look too cakey. I always get asked what foundations/powders I use and Im glad to have this as a part of my everyday makeup. Also if you are thinking about buying the powder puff by Laura Mercier, don't, there is no point, you don't need it, just go buy a cheap one from Walmart or wherever, it will do the same thing! Just a tip. What I noticed works the best for me, is if I take my powder puff and put it under my eyes first to set that concealer then grab my beauty blender and blend that out, and I pretty much do that all over my face. Sometimes I only use my beauty blender and not even the powder puff.
Review for: Tender Rose more...
WOW! I have been using Chanel's loose powder for 10+ years and never thought I would switch to anything different. However, I have recently been trying to use safer products--so I reluctantly started considering new powders without talc. I was in a bluemercury store and I mentioned to the sales associate my dilemma-- I really didn't think she'd be able to show me anything that would convince me to switch. But OMG -- when she put this powder on my face I was shocked. It has the perfect texture, perfect finish, and just the right amount of coverage. The only ingredients are minerals (no talc!!) Also, a little bit goes SUCH a long way and it stays on all day. I used WAY more of my Chanel powder every day--I only have to use a tiny bit of this stuff. I'm also shocked by how many people have mentioned my skin looks great since I switched. Bye bye Chanel! I will never look back.

This will not clear your blemishes. I think any labeling of "mineral" in a product is a little misleading. That doesn't ever mean it has has the properties to clear blemishes, necessarily. You will always be looking for adjectives that specifically point out the uses for acne, oil, acne prone, etc. While this product may serve you better than a product that does not have the word "mineral" in it in that it is using less additives and fillers (which still may not be the case), I'm not sure it's worth the price or peace of mind you're looking for in a powder.
Does this come with a applicator brush?

Doesn't come with a brush but depends what type of coverage/finish you are looking for. Best airbrush/full coverage finish I found was with the new Sephora Brush (teardrop shape). Kabuki brushes are good as well - I like Too Faced Teddy Bear Buki brush (also great for on the go). It does do some cover-up if using concealer brush but I found using separate cream concealer set with powder worked best on TOP of the LM Mineral powder
Does the skin not looks dry after you apply it to the skin?

It wont look cakey, i love this problem for that very reason. I use it to bake my makeup and it looks very flawless because its a very fine powder. Also it is best when applied with the puff then a brush
I currently use drugstore powder ... will this be worth the money ?! What's he differences ?
