compact powders

I'm addicted to Laura Mercier products - especially foundations and powders. I picked this matte radiance compact up to add some summer highlights with my bronze contrasting. ...This highlighting powder is well worth the price. I love the baked consistency- much less messy than the loose shimmer/highlight powders.

What it is:
An ultrasmooth baked face powder that provides natural color with soft matte radiance.

What it does:
Wake up the skin, and provide natural color with a radiant, healthy glow for a flawless, no-makeup look. Sheer, buildable coverage lets you customize your glow, while the modern, multidimensional matte finish imparts a hint of soft luminosity. The bronze shades provide a neutral warmth in varying intensities. The ultralightweight formula feels weightless on skin and applies smoothly and blends effortlessly. The smooth, silky, velvety texture feels comfortable, while the long-wearing formula lasts up to eight hours and stays color-true without oxidizing for an even wear. Each tile is hand-mixed with a unique design.

Very creamy and easy to blend-exactly like their blushes. The refill powder comes with a plastic protector so you don’t need the clutch....Finishing powder is 5/5...The component is so flimsy that the powder flew out of the compact. I knew it was not going to be luxe, but it’s actually flimsy.

What it is: A refillable finishing powder that doubles as a cross-body clutch with a visibly radiant finish, buildable coverage, and up to 12 hours of wear.

What Else You Need to Know: This refillable pressed powder can be worn alone for a luminous complexion, on top of your foundation as a finishing powder, or as a bronzer. It can be personalized by plugging a Mini Rosso Lipstick (sold separately) into the compact and using the removable chain to carry the compact cross-body.

I thought I hated this powder bc I have fair skin (I wear 1w/1,5n depending on the day) and felt there was no point in brightening my undereyes bc this powder would darken them again bc the powder was darker than my brighter undereye concealer shade. ...Beautiful Powder - Horrible Compact (Design)...Great powder, but horrible design of compact! I initially wanted to get it because of how pretty the case is, but once you open the cover, all the powder spit out from the compact.

I find this product helps control oil & shine in these settings better than a traditional powder. I also love that this product is undetectable on the skin & keeps skin looking like skin, a problem with some powders is that after layering or reapplying in hot settings can make the face look cakey. ...I think this will replace my blotting powders because it does such a good job at giving me a natural matte look while blurring my pores.

I purchased to use this as a bronzer because it is hard to find a nice bronzer for my medium dark skin tone with regular bronzers so I use deep face powders instead. It has way too much fall out.
