Laura Mercier has launched a brand new shade of their bestselling face powder.
Laura Mercier has already brought us one of the best foundations around with their Tinted Moisturiser that has become a staple part of most beauty fans’ makeup routines, and now they’ve expanded the colour range of their iconic face powder.
Just like their extensive Pure Canvas primer collection, the brand’s Loose Setting Powder has gained a cult status in the realm of setting powders, with a dedicated following that just keeps on growing.
And now the product, which originally came in Translucent and Medium-deep options, is now available in a gorgeous Honey colour.
What’s so special about the Laura Mercier Setting Powder?
It’s fair to say that the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder is one of the best around.
With a lightweight, fine-milled texture it can be delicately dusted across the skin without leaving any questionable powder patches and you only need the tiniest bit of product to work some magic.
Not only is the soft powder long-lasting enough to keep shine away even on the longest and sweatiest of days, but it’s featherweight texture means no clogged pores or irritated skin.
The new Honey shade is available to buy now from beauty retailers across the country.

Which Laura Mercier powder is best for me?
Unlike some powders that claim to be translucent but end up leaving darker skin tones with a telltale white sheen, Laura Mercier’s translucent setting powder really does blend into most skin tones, giving a natural but airbrushed look.
That being said, for those with quite deep skin tones, there is a Medium Deep shade that will probably suit a little better than the translucent option.
And for those who sit in the middle, while the Translucent shade will work perfectly well, the brand new Honey colour will enhance olive and golden skin tones and leave you with a delicate glow.
The peachy-yellow toned colour is a twist on the make-up artist Banana powder staple, but adds warmth to the skin in a more natural way than the conspicuous Banana powder.

Aleesha is digital shopping writer at woman&home - so whether you're looking for beauty, fashion, health or home buys, she knows all the best places to splash your cash. She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 after graduating from University of Leeds in 2014 with a BA in English and Spanish (which took her to Madrid for a fun Rioja and tapas-packed year). Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
