I kinda like this one better than the original formula because this is not as mattifying and doesn’t emphasize any kinds of dryness. Translucent Loose Setting Powder Glow (Mini: $23, Standard: $38) – This is kinda like the popular Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder above, but with a radiant finish. Apart from that, this does a good job of keeping my makeup on for hours and hours, and it keeps the oiliness at bay, Also, this may as well require a face mist to sort of soften the dryness of the powder. So this requires a pretty good technique in strobing, baking, and blending. However, this can emphasize dryness or accentuate the dry patchy areas of the skin, especially around the eyes. On my skin, this goes quite transparent, and I have not noticed any flashbacks while using this. This appears ivory white and may sorta leave a very slight white cast on a darker complexion, but it’s super easy to blend. I love this for its natural finish and soft sheer coverage.

Applying this is super convenient if you use the puff, but using a brush can be a challenge, as the powders can be hard to dispense especially since they’re so fine, but it’s not much of a big deal. What I like about this loose powder is that it comes in a huge tub with a big puff inside, and that means that you won’t run out of this product so easily. The Doré shade was perfect when I had a bit of tan, but it seems like I’ll be sticking to the Natural shade from now on probably a long time. Right now, I’m using Naturel, which is pretty much the perfect natural shade for my complexion – not too light and not too deep. I’ve repurchased this in either Naturel (30) or Doré (40) shades, depending on my current skintone situation.
