I have been using this powder for over a year now. It covers well but is light and looks natural. It pairs well with the foundation and blends nicely. It is not splotchy, like other powders can be.
I have tried a multitude of mineral foundations, with little success. Some made my skin look flaky; others left a definitely look of powder on my face no matter how carefully I buffed it in. Finding the right color has also been a serious challenge as I have deceptively very fair skin despite my naturally very dark hair and nearly black brown eyes.
Enter Laura Mercier mineral powder in Rich Vanilla and I'm in seventh heaven! This stuff matches my coloring to perfection; it's not too pink; it's not porcelain, which to me appears to mean no color at all, just white powder; and it's not all yellow, which is not my natural skin color either. It's simply perfect. And my skin absolutely loves it! My skin is happy, it doesn't flake, the coverage is light and natural, but still covers any flaws. It works even better when worn over the Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation Primer, which provides a perfect palette for the mineral foundation and other makeup.
I love this stuff and highly recommend both the mineral powder and the Laura Mercier Mineral Powder Foundation Primer to anyone who wants to a beautiful mineral powder and have it last all day!
Mineral Powder is my go-to foundation for every day use. I prep my fair skin with "radiance bronze" primer and lightly dust with mineral powder for a perfect finish and fresh look. This product is different than other mineral powders in that it my skin still looks fresh, young and smooth after application. It doesn't settle into lines or dry out my skin like other mineral powder products. Even with dry skin in a very dry desert environment, my skin looks and feels healthy.
