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!

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!
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 haven’t met a Laura Mercier Product that I don’t like. This product work very well and was very blendable. It didn’t dry out my skin and a little goes a long way which is nice to save on product. It was really easy to use and didn’t make me feel dry. I also didn’t Notice a lot of product loss throughout the day which is also a plus. I love just wearing this without any foundation or concealer and it seems to cover up all my blemishes and imperfections perfectly. I would highly recommend this product.

This was my first LM product and ,as a fan of powder foundation I decided to give it a try. It was good enough overall,is full coverage I even don't need a concealer when using it,it never broke me out,cause is non-comedogenic, I have very sensitive skin with allergies,redness and flakiness and it never caused me any reaction.It just has a couple issues,it tends to crack and show every wrinkle even the smallest ones,it also shows every flake.I will keep looking for a better one.

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.
Review for: 1N2 02 - Very Fair with Neutral Undertones more...
I don’t like many pressed powder foundations but this one is lovely. It not only offered great coverage on its own, it loves up to its name and is very smoothing. It’s gives a beautiful blur, can be worn alone or over liquid foundation for added coverage and has a great shade range.

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
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.

I have oily skin and I love this! I do get oily after a while but it I use a mattefying primer I don't have to worry about it as much. With the primer it lasts a long time on me
Is this a replacement to Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder Spf 15? I love the mineral pressed powder, but it’s discontinued and I wish to find something just like it

It’s not pressed but BareMinerals has a really really good mineral foundation with SPF, and it’s quite high coverage!
