How To Set Your Make Up!
Laura Mercer Translucent Setting Powder and Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray.
Two best selling products to set your make up.
I normally pat on some powder, spritz on some setting spray, and off I pop.
But I found myself thinking, which one is it that actually works?
Powder or Spray?
I decided to put them both to the test and wear each one without the other.
Let’s see which one gives the nicest finish to my make up.
And which one, at the end of the day, has kept my make up on the best…
Urban Decay
Before Setting Spray…
After Setting Spray…
A Dewy Finish
This spray gives your make up a lovely glow.
It’s a healthy, radiant look, that makes your foundation look amazing!
Let’s see what setting powder looks like…
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder
I use a damp beauty blender to dab the setting powder all over my face.
Under my eyes, down my nose, forehead and all around my mouth.
Concentrating mainly on my oily zones.
Before…
After…
A Matte, Natural Look
I find after patting on some Laura Mercier Translucent Powder, it tones down the ‘orangeness’ of the foundation.
And gives a more natural look and shade.
Much more of a matte finish, which is perfect for my oily skin!
But Which One Keeps Your Make Up On?
The Winner:
Laura Mercier
Setting Powder
I noticed when using just the setting spray, the foundation on my forehead had gone a little bit patchy by 5pm.
The following day, I swapped and set my make up with the powder instead of the spray.
And safe to say…
My forehead looked a lot more intact at 5pm when using the powder, compared to the spray.
I would use the spray purely for the dewy finish.
But I wouldn’t rely on it to keep my make up in place.
Your Skin Type Matters
I have oily skin, so my forehead would be pretty oily throughout the day.
Hence,
I need a powder to secure it.
But if you don’t have oily skin, the setting spray might just be enough.

If You Have Oily Skin, Laura Mercier Is Worth the Investment!
There’s no point spending all of your hard earned money on a foundation, if it’s not still there for your afternoon meetings.
The translucent powder also gives a lovely glow under your eyes and a matte finish.
