The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Mini is engineered for optimal performance in setting liquid or cream makeup, providing a natural matte finish, and controlling shine. To achieve the best results, use a velour puff or a large fluffy brush. Tap a small amount of powder into the lid, then lightly press or sweep the puff/brush onto the powder, tapping off any excess. Gently press the powder onto areas where you want to set makeup, such as under the eyes, around the nose, and the forehead. For a true soft-focus effect, ensure even distribution. This powder excels in warmer climates or for individuals with oilier skin types, as its oil-absorbing properties help maintain a fresh complexion. It can be reapplied lightly throughout the day as needed for touch-ups without accumulating or looking heavy. Its finely milled texture prevents it from settling into fine lines, making it suitable for mature skin as well.
Prepare Your Skin: Ensure your liquid or cream makeup (foundation, concealer) is already applied and blended.
Dispense Product: Gently tap a small amount of the loose powder into the cap of the jar. This helps control the quantity.
Load Applicator: Dip a clean velour puff or a fluffy powder brush into the dispensed powder. Ensure the applicator is evenly coated.
Tap Off Excess: Lightly tap the applicator against the back of your hand to remove any excess powder. This prevents a cakey appearance.
Apply: Gently press or roll the puff onto areas you wish to set, such as the T-zone, under-eyes, and chin. If using a brush, lightly sweep over your face in downward strokes.
This translucent formula is compatible with all skin tones and is suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to oily skin. Its lightweight nature also makes it a good option for dry skin when applied sparingly.
Keep Sealed: Always ensure the lid is tightly screwed on after each use to prevent spills and maintain product integrity.
Store Properly: Keep the powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to prevent clumping.
