NEW! Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder in HONEY

 

Laura Mercier has been around for so many years and it has been a vital brand to "collect" when I started out on Makeup Artistry.   I remembered wanting the Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation Primer for badly and finally felt like a legit Pro MUA when I owned a tube.  

The iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder will never be missed!  Translucent has been my go-to setting powder for bridges because it just sets everything in place and looks so flawless on both photos and videos.

Fast forward to a dreadful year 2020, something nice - in the Beauty World that is, came up when Laura Mercier launched 3 TRULY translucent shades that work on virtually every single skin tone in the planet!  That's from the fairest to deepest!

I did a half face test on both Translucent and Honey and the effect is seen on photo below.  Left facing you is Translucent while right facing you is Honey.  Both yields same shine-free, matte, blurred perfection skin but there is a slight difference between the two.  Spoke more about the differences on my half-face test video below.

Just so you know, HONEY shade is more natural-looking version.  I know, translucent is natural enough and I don't know what can go more natural!  As seen on the half face video below, you can literally see HONEY side of my face to have a more natural-glow.  My skin is still peeking through is compared to Translucent which blurs out everything. 

Both features no-flashback formula (thank goodness) and both have a nice lightweight, smooth feel.  Blending and setting makeup is no effort, the only thing you have to remember is to check out your clothing as these lightweight powder can FLY! :P

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powders are priced locally at Php2,150.00 for full size and Php1,295.00 for travel size.  These are avaialble in all Laura Mercier counters in Rustan's, SM Mega Fashion Hall Pop-Up (Zara side) and www.Rustans.com.

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
