Full details
This Jumbo size Translucent Loose Setting Powder from Laura Mercier is ideal for makeup users seeking a long-lasting, refined finish. Its key benefit is setting makeup for up to 16 hours with a soft-focus effect. A potential caveat is its larger size, which may be less portable for on-the-go touch-ups. This iconic powder blurs pores, mattifies skin, and maintains foundation color without flashback, all while feeling silky-smooth.

FAQs
What is the best way to apply this setting powder?
You can use the included puff to press powder onto the skin, especially in the T-zone, or use a large, fluffy brush to lightly dust it over your entire face for a diffused finish. For baking, use a damp sponge or brush to pack powder under the eyes or in other areas.
Can this powder be used on dry skin?
Yes, but ensure your skin is well-hydrated with moisturizer before application. Apply sparingly to avoid emphasizing dry patches.
Does this powder have any color?
No, this is a translucent powder, meaning it is colorless and suitable for all skin tones without adding any shade.
How long does the jumbo size last?
The duration varies based on usage frequency and application technique, but the jumbo size is designed to provide a significantly longer supply compared to standard sizes.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is non-comedogenic and designed to be gentle. However, individual reactions can vary, so patch testing is always recommended.
Can I use this powder to set cream or liquid products?
Absolutely. This powder is excellent for setting liquid and cream foundations, concealers, and cream blushes, helping them last longer and preventing creasing.
What does 'no-flashback' mean?
'No-flashback' means that when a camera flash hits your face, the powder will not create a noticeable white cast or look chalky in photos.
Troubleshooting
Powder is difficult to dispense.
Ensure the lid is fully unscrewed. Gently tap the container to release a small amount of powder into the lid for application.
Makeup looks cakey.
Use a lighter hand when applying. Ensure you are using the correct brush or puff for your desired finish and only apply to areas needing setting or mattifying.
Product seems to settle into fine lines.
Apply a very thin layer of powder, focusing on areas prone to creasing. Ensure skin is well-moisturized before makeup application.
White cast appears in photos.
While designed to prevent flashback, ensure you are using the powder sparingly, especially in areas that will be directly under flash. Blend thoroughly.
