Not as great as I expected

I love most of Laura Mercier's products, but I'm not a big fan of this one. It actually made my skin look cakey, the way cheap wal-mart crap does. Not impressed.

what a mess

i love laura mercier products - my make up bag is full of them. this product however i found to be a real disappointment. for a start it is outrageously messy. powder gets EVERYWHERE. so i think the product designers need to have another think. and secondly, despite the fact that i also have the mineral primer, this product sits proud of my skin. it gives me great big open pores that aren't even visible without make up.!

Love it!

Just bought this powder and love the finish it gives my face. It is very fresh feeling and it gives the face a great look.

Excellent finishing powder

I have never really been a fan of loose powder or mineral makeup, but i have to say that this product has made me change my mind. I bought this in shade #1 (it comes in #1 and #2 only b/c it is fairly translucent) and it is the softest most finely milled powder i have tried. IT seriously makes my skin feel soft and silky and is as light as air in my face. It sets my makeup/concealor all day and do...read morees a pretty good job at controlling oil too! It does not emphasize any lines/pores or flakies and makes my skin look and feel very smooth. I have been using for a week and coincidentally my skin has also cleared up considerably from an old breakout. I am not sure if it is due to this powder, but i will take it either way! The ingredients for shade #1 are as follows: aluminum starch, octenylsuccinate, oryza sativa (rice) starch, zinc stearate, silica, pearl powder, avena sative (oat) kernel flour, silver, silybum, marianium (milk thistle) extract, vitis vinifera (grape ) extract, copper gluconnate, zinc glucconate, May contain Mica, bismuth oxychloride, titanium dioxide, iron oxides. I can wear LM Porcelain Ivory so their is no match yet in the LM MMU, but heard from LM that new shades will be launched in February 2008. I will definitely purchase when my shade comes out as this powder has made me change my mind about MMU! My other foundation matches are on my notepad and for reference i have used BE mineral veil, Sue Devitt Triple seeweed Loose powder, Nars Loose Powder, Shisiedo Enriched loose powder, Clinique translucent loose powder and Becca loose powder as well in the past. LM mineral finishing wins hands down.
