I’ve Finally Found A Replacement For My Fave Laura Mercier Powder

While I’m still trying to get over the devastation of one of my favourite makeup brands departing the country, I have found solace in Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder Nude .

This particular powder has striking similarities to my beloved Candleglow Sheer Perfecting Powder by Laura Mercier – which is making my transition into life without Laura a bit easier.

Why I Love This Face Powder:

Much like my Candleglow Face Powder, the Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder Nude  gives your skin a subtle, natural-looking lit-from-within glow. So you can imagine how relieved I was to discover it was a dupe for my usual go-to.

  • Contains a blend of skin-brightening botanicals & light-reflective powders

  • Features varying levels of pearlescent pigments for a naturally luminous effect

  • Formulated with brightening Mulberry, Grape & Scutellaria extracts

  • Available in multiple shades to suit most skin tones

  • Can also be used as a highlighter, bronzer & eyeshadow

  • Super comfortable on the skin with zero caking & no powdery finish

  • Has slightly more shimmer than Laura Mercier’s face powder

How To Use:

What I like about this face powder is that it can be multi-use if you want it to be. Some shade squares in the compact are just a matte colour, while others have a shimmer through them. So when blended all together, you get a beautiful glowing finish to the skin.

This also gives you the ability to use the more shimmery shades as a sheer eyeshadow or highlighter (just use a smaller brush). Fairer skin tones can have a deeper shade compact on rotation as a bronzing powder and terracotta/bronze eyeshadow duo.

What’s Everyone Else Saying?

Absolute life saver

Josephine

“I like to use this everyday to set my makeup but it also doubles as a highlighter. It gives you a nice glowy look that isn’t too shimmery. You can also use a little bit if you don’t want to put on a full face of makeup and it will give you a nice glow. I have been using this product for a year now and I absolutely love it.”

Beautiful, natural finish

Aaziya

“I use this as an all-over finishing powder which sets my make up without highlighting my pores. It takes away shine but imparts a subtle illuminating glow and makes my skin look flawless. I am in love with its texture and the tiny sparkles give my skin such a gorgeous highlight and gives the most natural finish ever. It’s much easier to use and less messy than a loose powder.”

Stunning

Crystal

“I have never been so in love with a compact powder till I found this. I use a very firm flat kabuki brush to buff it into my skin and it was stunning. I’m pale but they actually had a shade for me! Perfectly glowy and not glittery. I have normal/combination skin and it was a dream.”
