Not Sponsored: Despite ALL of the rave reviews, it took me a long time to try Laura Mercier's Translucent Loose Setting Powder. Whenever I would hear the word Translucent, I would have flashbacks of ladies whose faces were over-powdered. You could just see the powder atop their makeup. Well, I've been using this setting powder for over a year now and I can see why bloggers and YouTubers rave about it. Yes, it is off-white. Yes, it is a powder. However, when applied it just seems to melt into my makeup and take any shine away. Now, I don't have much shine because of my dry skin but usually around the forehead and nose I produce a little unwanted shine. If you look at any one of my makeup looks from this year or last, I am wearing this powder. I highly recommend it. This translucent powder comes in two shades. The second being medium deep. There's also an Invisible Loose Setting Powder. I hear A LOT of people rave about RCMA's No Color Powder, so that is next on my list to try (since I'm half-way through this jar). My blog buddy Rowena of Rolala Loves Blog also introduced me to Tatcha's Aburatorigami Japanese Beauty Blotting Papers (review) which remove shine and not your makeup. So there are options. I just wanted to add my two-cents about this powder ;)
