The setting powder that started it all. This is Laura Mercier’s iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder — the finely milled original in the classic Translucent shade, in the full 29 g jar. It’s the one makeup artists and beauty lovers have sworn by for years: it sets your makeup, blurs the look of pores and fine lines, and leaves a soft matte finish with no flashback in photos. It’s rated 4.6 stars with over 3,700 reviews, it’s an Amazon Overall Pick, and more than 8,000 jars were bought last month.
Why We Like It:
- Sets makeup for the long haul: the finely milled powder locks foundation in place with a soft matte finish.
- Blurs, never cakes: it smooths the look of pores and fine lines without settling into them.
- No flashback: the translucent shade disappears on skin, so photos come out clean.
- A proven icon: 4.6 stars from over 3,700 reviews, an Amazon Overall Pick, and more than 8,000 bought last month.
Best For:
- Anyone who wants their makeup to last all day
- Oily and combination skin that fights shine
- A polished, photo-ready finish without a heavy powder look
