tldr; Cult-favorite setting powder that sets makeup invisibly. Finely milled formula prevents flashback in photos.

Best praise vs top criticism for Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
“Yoooo so the liner is feathering, kind of the same way lipstick will feather if it’s not good quality, too oily, or there’s just too much on the lips and it “seeps” outwards. I’d encourage you to take a translucent powder and cover your entire eye area to make it a dry surface first. Once the liner is dry, take some tissue paper and gently drape it over the eyeliner. Take a puff or brush and use translucent powder over it once more to set it OR use a VERY fine point brush (like a lip liner or clean and dry eyeliner brush) dipped in dark eyeshadow (doesn’t have to be black, but that works) and gently tap it over the liner to set it. Hope that makes sense and hope it works if you try it!”
“I added the 5th picture to show that texture of the skin never goes away but you can definitely finesse it!! 1. Start off with a clean bare face, no extra products. 2. Apply the moisturizing cream and wait at least 3-4 mins before applying primer. You need enough time for your skin prep to soak in before applying your products. I like to do shade matching while waiting for my skin prep to dry properly 3. I mixed her foundations and applied all over the face except her forehead and under her eyes. I used a RT brush to blend into her foundation. 4. I apply the concealer 1 shade lighter than her foundation under her eyes, on forehead, nose bridge, chin, upper lip, and outer corner of her eyes stopping a little before where her nose ends. I use a brightening concealer 2 shades lighter than her foundation on the inner corner of her eyes. 5. While the concealer dries down I concealer her eyebrows (no we haven’t filled them in yet) with the concealer 2 shades lighter than her skin tone. 6. When blending out your concealer, start from the outer corner first using that same RT foundation brush you used from earlier. Then take a smaller concealer brush and blend the concealer. Pat don’t drag!! Always start from the outer corner and work your way in. 7. You have to switch between your concealer and foundation brush to make sure everything blends in seamlessly. Sometimes I like to take a dry beauty blender and blend wherever I see fit. 8. I take a power puff and go in with my translucent powder, making sure my client is looking up at the ceiling to avoid creasing. I lat the back of my hand to even out the powder and then press firmly into the clients skin. DONT DRAG. I do this for every area I have concealer. This is the setting process so no powder should be left on the face 9. I take a fluffy brush and contour my clients nose, cheekbones, and chin. 10. I go in with my morphe spray to blend all the powder products together. DRENCH their face. Don’t be shy 11. I take that same powder puff and go in with my huda powder to brighten her under eyes and nose bridge. This is the baking process so make sure you have enough powders or can sit on the face. I also reverse contour with the same powder, dragging the powder to my clients mouth. 12. While baking I take the opportunity to fill in the eyebrows, do her eyes and lip combo. 13. I take a fluffy brush and dip it into my Maybelline fit me pressed powder and wipe off the excess baking powder. Then I apply the powder blush. 14. Then I go in with my sprays. Morphe first, CT 2nd, One size last.”
