What Else You Need to Know: This foundation reduces the appearance of shine, evens the look of skin tone, hydrates, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores. It feels light and fresh, wears all day, and stays color-true. The compact includes a sponge applicator.

Suggested Usage:
-For sheer-to-medium coverage, use the dry sponge (included in the compact).
-Apply just as you would a pressed powder. Avoid the eye area.
-For medium to full coverage, dampen the sponge, then smooth powder onto face.
-For best results, use after your preferred Laura Mercier Foundation Primer.

Pro tips:
-For the most flawless, natural look, Laura Mercier says it's key to avoid over-applying foundation to the middle of the face—where too much formula can accentuate lines and other imperfections.
-Whether it’s liquid, cream, or powder, Laura recommends starting at the outer portion of the face and working inward towards the nose.
-Focus on one area at a time and be sure to blend well, especially below the jaw line.
-Avoid excess application around eyes or the contours of the face. Repeat application until desired coverage is achieved.
