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.

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 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.
