It’s no secret that the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder ($38.00) is an industry must-have; many beauty gurus and makeup artists swear by it. Translucent powder has never been something I have been able to get excited about but when the brand came out with a shade for darker-toned ladies, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to try out the…

The first time I laid eyes on Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Loose Powder in Voile Audacieux ($54.00), I felt an overwhelming sense of infatuation. I loved everything about it, from its packaging — especially its packaging — to the different colors, to the idea of the powder itself. I was in love. Or so I thought I was…
