The secret behind her red carpet look? Laura Mercier’s cult-favourite Translucent Loose Setting Powder. And if you fancy recreating Louise’s effortlessly chic glow, now is a great time. The iconic powder is currently on offer at LookFantastic for £30.80 — that’s £7.70 off its regular £38.50 price tag. Loved by celebrities and makeup artists, the powder is popular for its lightweight feel and long-lasting hold. Available in three shades— translucent, honey, and medium deep — it caters to a wide range of skin tones, providing a smooth, even finish that lasts up to 16 hours.

Basically, it’s the best choice for achieving a camera-ready finish à la Louise.

The product has garnered some fab reviews on LookFantastic, earning 1,512 five-star reviews and an average 4.81-star rating. One person said they “would never use any other powder; it’s the best”, while another said it “sets my foundation brilliantly and keeps my shiny T-zone under control on otherwise bare skin.” A particularly enthusiastic reviewer gushed: “This powder is amazing! Lasts ages, goes on really well. I use shade honey for mixed race skin tone but also have the medium deep for cheeks.” A fourth user called it their “holy grail powder,” stating, “(It’s the) best translucent setting powder for photos. It doesn’t change the colour of foundation or concealer underneath the powder (and it’s) long-lasting.”

However, not everyone is impressed. One reviewer found it “extremely drying for the skin”, while another shopper complained it “clings and clogs and makes skin look flaky.” Still, for the majority, this powder is a great pick for ensuring makeup stays fresh and flawless for hours on end. You can shop Laura Mercier’s Translucent Loose Setting Powder via LookFantastic, but be quick if you’re tempted, as there’s no sign when the deal ends. If you want to recreate the rest of Louise’s look, makeup artist Krystal Bell shared the whole routine on her Instagram (see post above). That includes Haus Lab’s Peach Quartz highlighter, Tom Ford’s Shade and Illuminate contour and Fenty Beauty’s Rowdy Roadie lipstick.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
