Review for: 2W1 06 - Light with Warm Undertones more...
I have a medium skintone with yellow undertones and shade 6 is a good match for me. This powder foundation comes with a sponge, but I only apply it with a brush. It's easy to apply and goes on smooth. For me, this provides light to medium coverage and is buildable without getting cakey/dry looking. This lasts all day for me with or without a primer. It's also a perfect base for applying other creams/powders (ie. blush, bronzer, highlight). I have pretty sensitive skin, but I have no issues wearing this all day -- no breakouts, rashes, or oil buildup. Highly recommend this foundation!
Review for: 3N1 07 - Light to Medium with Neutral Undertones more...
This has been my go to foundation for years! It is all I use. You can just use a brush and get great coverage or get a sponge wet for more of a liquid foundation look. It is matte which I love for all day use. It doesn’t turn your face white in pictures. It doesn’t make you breakout. I even workout in it. Only downside is it can crack easily. I have cracked many of mine before. So make sure if you are traveling with it put it in a safe compartment. It will be your new favorite foundation! I have turned many friends into it with all different skin types and tones!

I used this always when I was at Uni. Seemed very simple, quick and easy to apply at the time. I love all of Laura Mercier’s packaging and this wasn’t different to it. The coverage was not very heavy and full. It gives one a smooth and light finish. I had quite deep scarring from acne at that time and this product tried to cover it to a certain extent. But when used along with my all time favourite #secretcamouflage it does wonders!!!
Unfortunately I dont use it anymore as I started to prefer liquid foundations over powder.

I could not have found a better foundation powder than this one from laura! It literally glides on to your skin without leaving any blotches. It is a little on the pricer side for a powder however it is in the price range of a regular foundation. This product is great for days you dont want to wear tons of makeup because it feels so light on the skin.

The amount of colors this product comes in is crazy. There is a color for everyone. I loved the fact that it can be put on dry or wet. It feels like I wasn’t even wearing this on my skin super lightweight formula. I have really dry skin and it seemed to apply patchy even with moisturizer on. It didn’t seem to last very long during the day it also oxidized very fast.
I loveeee this product.
Its long lasting and finshing is amazing.
I love this top most brand.
This is one of my favorites brands and with reasonable price.
I bought this from walmart store and it is also available in other stores like Fred Meyer,target,walgreens many.......
It gives soft texture on skin.
I would definitely recommend this product and brand too.
Its better to search for offers before buying.
Have different shades of color for different skin tones.
I like to visit above stores only to buy this and find offers.
It gives fantastic look for party and for simple makeup also.
I am kinda shopholic ;) so love to buy and try different products ,brands and shades.
It would be too nice if there are some small samples to try before we buy.

Unfortunately this wasn’t my favorite powder at all.. I wanted to love this cause I love Laura Mercier products, unfortunately this was a fail for me.. I’m combination/oily skin, and I love coverage .. this just didn’t lay well on my skin . I used a fluffy brush to apply over my liquid foundation. It didn’t look smooth and matte . It accentuated my texture , pores/pimples.. I wouldn’t repurchase!
This is my new favorite powder foundation. I am not usually a fan of powder foundations because they make my skin look very Camry and dry. They also give a very rough looking textured look and I do not like that. Even though I’m not a fan of powdered foundation, I decided to give this one a try. It does everything that I would want in a powder foundation. It makes my skin look nice and smooth, and it looks flawless after using a setting spray! I would recommend usingToo Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray with it!
I think I didn't get a good color that matches my skin tone but I noticed that the powder gives a good coverage. Doesn't look my skin dry and it is easy to apply too. I think I will get another one with my perfect color match to me when I saved it cos it's not cheap
Pretty good. Gives you a good matte/full coverage finish. You can also use it to bake,since this product can be full/light coverage.
I will definitely be keeping this guy in my makeup bag. Can’t beat the coverage and hour wear you get out of this powder.

I have very dry flaky skin in the winter. As long as you moisturize and let it set in before you apply, it works wonders
Just bought this powder. Anyone with dry skin want to share their experience? Is it too powdery or dry looking on the skin?

I would recommend to make sure you have a very hydrating eye cream and moisturizer before make up and using light layers of setting powder.
I've been wanting to purchase an foundation powder and I came across this one, how much is it and is it worth your money ? How many shades does it have ? Is it easy to find your shade?

I would say yes. I'm always on the hunt for a bargain so I agree this is a little pricy. I would usually say go for a sample but its powder so they cant do that. However if you purchase it and try it for a few days you can take it back and return it at sephora! I was using the sephora brand powder before this one too and I liked that one=it is less expensive and good quality. This just took the cake for me I love it.
How well does this product cover & stay on oily skin? I use Smashbox powder foundation with a brush and it's almost perfect but not quite. I'm super fair & super oily so by the end of the day I'm blotting & I also have to be careful I don't get heavy handed. I've been eyeballing this Laura Mercier at Sephora but scared to make the change & hate it.
