With the natural, fresh-faced skin look trending finding a product that provides as much correction as possible with as little thickness has become a must. Laura Mercier has just released her ultra-blur powder with some promising actions.

The Ultra-Blur Powder

This best-selling loose Setting Powder was reformulated to be talc-Free without losing its excellent results. Weightless to the touch, this loose powder has a soft-matte look. The skin tone is blurred and feels exceptionally soft. It offers a 16H skin-smoothed finish thanks to its blurring power.

What’s Inside?

• Talc-Free Formula: Keeping its original qualities but without the talc.
• Amino Acid and Silica Powders: Ultra-blurring, they give a soft-focus effect on fine lines, pores, and imperfections.
• Hyaluronic Acid: The comfort factor keeps the skin from feeling tight, even dry.
• Super thin powder pigments: Blend into the natural skin tone and don’t mark lines, dry skin or scarring.

Benefits

• Feels Breathable
• No Photo Flashback
• Comfortable
• Long-lasting results
• Skin perfecting

Shades

This lightweight powder comes in three shades. Matching virtually every skin tone, nobody is left out.

• Translucent: Fair to Medium Skin Tones
• Translucent Honey (swatched below): Medium skin tones (olive and golden undertones)
• Lastly, Translucent Medium Deep: Medium-deep to deep skin tones.

My Review

When reading about this powder, I wondered how such a light, fine product could offer many actions. I decided to try the powder in the shade “translucent honey”.

I have been skeptical about loose powders for a very long time. Although they give off a natural matte finish, I find them too messy.

The ultra-blur powder gives off a small amount of mist when applying it. Using a brush, the powder glides onto the skin, leaving a smooth and blurred-out skin tone. My pores and fine lines appeared reduced. The powder is ideal for a no makeup/ makeup look.

The medium honey shade matched my skin perfectly, but I recommend trying it out in-store. All in all, this powder gives a beautiful finish and a long-lasting look.

Another new favourite from the brand is Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon, launched recently. It is a perfect hydrating tint for this time of the year.

Vital Pressed Skincare Powder

The idea behind this range was to design a powder that did more than just set. The lightweight, sheer pressed powder is full of active skincare ingredients. This powder goes above and beyond, smoothing out pores, increasing skin tone and reducing shine.

The powder is available in 5 shades: Translucent, Pink bubble, Creme, Dune and Cafe.

-Translucent: Perfect to mattify and smooth out the skin, it leaves an invisible veil.

-Pink bubble: Great for a gentle burst of light.

-Tinted shades: Even the skin tone for a smooth, blended skin texture.

Makeup with a kick

The ultra-fine pressed powder is enriched in the Defense Shield Complex™. Composed of vitamin C and probiotics, the skin is protected from free radicals and blue light. The powder helps control sebum and refine the skin's texture when used regularly.

• Vitamin C: Neutralizes free radicals.
• Probiotics: Defend and strengthen the skin.
• Quinoa seed extract: Refines the texture of the skin.
• Talc and Silicone-free powder base.

My Review

Westman atelier makeup products are a big hit amongst celebrities. With the new trend of skincare makeup products, it seemed the perfect moment to test the vital pressed powder.

My first application was on naked skin. The shade Dune is perfect for a no-makeup/ Makeup look on my skin tone. Helping control excess shine, the powder also blurred the skin texture pretty well. I would 100% have this in my handbag to refresh during the day.

I tested it over my usual foundation and was surprisingly pleased with the result. Smooth and natural-looking, the powder helped reduce lines and pores for a flawless look! I hate wearing heavy, drying powders, so this feather-light feeling was more than welcome.
