Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Pressed Setting Powder Translucent — 16HR Waterproof, Hyaluronic Acid Hydration

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Pressed Setting Powder is a waterproof, crease-resistant finishing powder that blurs pores and sets makeup for up to 16 hours while delivering hyaluronic acid hydration.

This pressed translucent powder from Laura Mercier combines weightless mattifying control with skin-smoothing blur technology. Formulated without talc and infused with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and silica powders, it reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines without looking cakey or creating flashback in photos. The compact contains a soft puff for touch-ups on the go and is designed to resist sweat and water for long-wear performance.

How does this powder keep makeup looking fresh all day?

The Ultra-Blur powder locks foundation and concealer in place by absorbing excess oil and minimizing shine while still letting skin appear natural. Its formula is crease-resistant and sweatproof, so it maintains a soft-matte finish through routine activities and humid conditions.

• 16-hour weightless wear for long days or events
• Waterproof and sweatproof finish to resist transfer
• Soft-matte effect without dulling the complexion
• Comes with a travel-ready puff for quick application

Will this powder make my skin look dry or cakey?

Despite its mattifying properties, the powder is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and amino acids to maintain a comfortable feel. The result is a non-drying, natural finish that blurs imperfections without settling into lines or building up.

• Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture for a smoother appearance
• Silica powders and amino acids provide a soft-focus effect
• Designed to avoid cakeiness even with touch-ups
• No white cast or photo flashback for camera-ready skin

Is this powder suitable for my skin tone and routine?

The Translucent shade is created to work across a wide range of skin tones by reducing shine and blurring texture rather than adding color. It’s ideal as a final step to set makeup or for midday oil control, and its talc-free composition often feels lighter than traditional pressed powders.

• Translucent finish adapts to various complexions
• Pressed compact is convenient for handbag touch-ups
• Works over foundation and bare skin for subtle mattifying
• Talc-free formula for a lighter, softer application

How should I apply the Ultra-Blur powder for best results?

Use the included puff to press the powder into areas that need oil control and blur, such as the T-zone and around the nose. For a lighter effect, sweep a fluffy brush across the powder and dust it over the face; reapply sparingly to avoid buildup.

• Press with the puff for targeted, long-lasting hold
• Brush application yields a sheer, all-over finish
• Reapply to oily spots only to maintain natural texture
• Ideal for photography—no flashback or white cast

Who is this for: The Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Pressed Setting Powder is suited for anyone seeking reliable oil and shine control with a lightweight, photo-friendly finish—especially those who want makeup to stay put through long days, humid conditions, or activities that cause perspiration. It's a useful finish for people who prefer a natural, soft-matte look without dryness, and for travelers or commuters who need a compact, on-the-go touch-up option.
