Best Translucent Powder July 22, 2008
Sets the foundation really well. You'll want to reapply about twenty minutes after the initial application but after that you're pretty much set for the rest of the day. This has been my favorite powder ever since I first tried it about 8 years ago. I have yet to find a cleaner finish.
Luxuriously silky July 7, 2008
When Laura Mercier first entered the market with her promise of flawless skin, I bought the Oil-Free Foundation. While it was one of the best foundations I have ever used in terms of finish and look, I had to stop using it after my skin broke out. Apart from her blushers, I have avoided her brand until I decided to get a bit adventurous recently and bought the Primer and Translucent Loose Powder.
Well hands down this is one of the best loose powders I have ever tried! And after two months of using it, my skin hasn't gone psycho on me. The texture is quite sheer and silky. It sets my foundation, giving me a nice, matte and polished look. In terms of the color, I was indeed sceptical as I am naturally tan (MAC NC42, Chanel 50) and I was worried about looking like a geisha. Well have no fear because Translucent is a versatile color (or non-color!). It won't change the color of your foundation and will keep the oils at bay for a while, ensuring that you only need to do minimal touch-ups depending on the weather. While they recommend the "press and roll" method of application, my preference is applying it directly with a large powder brush for a lighter touch (I use one by Trish McEvoy). I dip the brush, tap off the excess powder and lightly dust on my face. Voila! My make up is set.
It may seem a little expensive, but you truly get what you pay for and this product should last a while.

I used powder a great deal in my teens and early / mid twenties, to combat oiliness and help cover up skin problems. Once I hit my late twenties, I stopped using it. I found just about every product I tried to be either too powdery (too visible - even the colorless products I tried) or completely useless after wearing for more than 5 minutes.
This powder is drastically different and superior to any other I've tried. It melts into my skin, giving a perfectly matte (but not too matte) finish and leaving my skin feeling like silk. The Translucent shade is perfect for my pale skin - not adding any color but creating a nice finish.
I think I need to say skin again.
Skin.
HANDS DOWN BEST FACE POWDER March 28, 2008

I have tried them all and its official. This is the best powder out there. Why? First, it doesn't cake. At all. It is smooth on the skin and I don't know this for sure but it seems like even when I wash it off my skin looks better. I think its improving my skin. Also, it REALLY covers. I have some scarring but Laura's products hide it completely.

This really is the best of the best when it comes to loose powder. It has a super-fine texture and never looks cakey. It does a fantastic job at combatting shine and keeping your make up looking fresh. It does not clog pores at all and it really does extend the life of your makeup throughout the day.
I really like the translucent shade because, unlike most powders out there, it really is translucent. It doesn't give your face a whiter look . . . it really is virtually invisible.
The coolest part about this is that you get A LOT of powder for your money, so it's well worth it.
This powder gives your face a beautiful, natural finish. It lets your complexion shine through and keeps oils at bay.
A very excellent buy!
