    This is decent loose powder, albeit a tad overpriced. I purchased it for one of the beauty events after getting a makeover and loving how it looked... but I ended up returning it before I even...

    This is the best loose powder I've tried. It gives my face a satiny smooth finish and doesn't cake up.....unlike the TLC which cakes up big time! It even controls oil better than TLC. I'm glad I...

    I keep trying to find something less expensive, but so far nothing beats this. Smooth, beautiful finish.

    this powder isn't bad, but also isn't good for my purpose either. I agree with the other posters that it is finely milled, and looks absolutely translucent, like-you-have-nothing-on on the skin,...

    It was hard to believe that I *needed* a translucent powder, as the LM MA said. I was actually at the counter to try the TM, but then she explained this whole "face" system of theirs (primer, TM,...

    I am so disappointed - I have fair (NW25) skin and this powder makes me look pale! How is that possible when everyone else says it has no color whatsoever. I'm not sure, maybe it's too matte. All I...

    I wear this over foundation and I love how it makes my skin look smooth. I also use this alone on good-skin days without foundation on and it tones down the redness on my face. A good buy!

    Laura Mercier's translucent loose powder lives up to the hype. I was wary, because other translucent powders were too light, leaving me looking too pasty. But Mercier's powder is so fine, it leaves...

    A very nice setting powder that does not add any color or coverage. Wonderful for a natural, finished look. I was apprehensive that this shade might make me look chalky, but the finish is...

    I had hoped this would be better than my beloved Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil - they seem so similar. But it wasn't. I felt this LM powder was a little too light and too thick - it covered my skin...
