    This powder is really great. It keeps my primer and TM in place all day and hasn't caused any breakouts. The packaging isn't wonderful - just a plastic jar with a shaker top - but it works. ...

    Great translucent powder - silky, smooth - doesn't add a lot of texture to my face. Perfectly sets my face and keeps my makeup going strong all day. I have very dry skin so I have to keep very...

    Ok, I read all the reviews and decided to buy this. So, I put my Palladio rice powder on one side of my face and the LM powder on the other. All day I kept checking. At the end of the day I went...

    I can't live without this! This setting powder saved me on my wedding day. I only had to touch up once (it was hot and I was outdoors). Once you blot this on, your makeup is guaranteed to STAY. ...

    I've been looking for a translucent setting powder for so long. I've tried many brands but none satisfied my desire for sheerness, setting (without rubbing off on collars) and blotting power; none...

    I suppose it's a very standard formula, but it works well to set concealer and remove shine. I am very impressed by the Laura Mercier range.

    I love this powder!! My only complaint is that the their huge puff wont fit in the lid. If you want a puff that will fit in the jar go to the chanel counter, their puff fits almost perfectly!

    Well, this is a very expensive powder. I'm young and my skin is not perfect-it's oily and I have mild but stubborn acne. This shimmery powder is very sheer and it highlighted all of my flaws. I...

    This is my all-time favorite powder. It's not too matte or chalky and makes my skin look great. Doesn't settle in my crater pores or my little lines. And it's one of the few that is light enough...

    Just bought my third jar of this. It goes on a little powdery and crystal white, but once you blend it with a brush and it sets, it really delivers. It stays on for hours, does a soft focus, has...

    Makes my skin look matte, perfect, and perfect. Lasts forever because you only need a little bit. I only wished they made the sifter a little finer, because I always get too much powder. I used...

    I do use LM's loose powder but I use it in beige (see my review there). I've tried the translucent but, even though it claims not to leave any color, it does lighten my skin and leaves a slight...

    kind of pricey for powder ($20 for a small, 9g or so jar), but you really do NOT need that much of it, and it seems finer than other loose powders. it sets my foundation very nicely, and doesnt...

    I've been using it for years to set liquid foundation. It gives a finish that's is not too matte nor too shiny -- just right, just like real skin. Light weight, refined and it does not change the...
