The Sheer Pressed Powder

I love this product. It doesn’t go into fine lines or just sit on top of the skin. This looks beautiful and I will never be with out this.

It smells like the jo Malone English pear perfume, it’s really good though, it looks like your skin but better, doesn’t look powdery or cakey. It says sheer but it’s opaque enough not to need foundation, also feels like I’m not wearing a thing. Love this.

My combination skin loves this product.

Reading the reviews on this product, I had mixed feelings. I was in the market for a nice pressed power. I already use the La Mer foundation and was pretty pleased with that so I thought why not. I'm soooo happy that I purchased this powder. It adds the perfect finish to my makeup ensemble. Even on days when I just do my regular skincare routine and don't feel like doing a full face with foundation, I just use this powder and I'm pretty pleased with the finish. it's a blur/ matte but not dry looking finish. I do have some texture issues and a little discoloration from past acne scars. This works very well for me. I gave it 4 stars due to the fact that this powder only lasts for about 4-5 hours. But that's ok. Im pretty pleased with this product and would purchase it again.

I only use this and La Mer’s loose powder

This is my ultimate favorite and only pressed powder I use. It blurs beautifully, does not make you look cakey, and is NOT drying. I also love that it does not appear chalky. I think some reviews about it not lasting or drying out the skin are likely due to underlying skin issues. I am combination for my skin, and I do a 9 step routine for my skin daily, so I can confidently say this product is amazing and holds up really well throughout the day.

I wear Fenty 410/Tom Ford Chestnut and the medium/deep color works for my skin tone. I use this powder as a setting powder all over with a big fluffy fox hair brush which gives a very light application, no ash. On the high points of my face and where I conceal, I used a damp sponge and/or a dense goat hair brush which gives a heavier application, also no ash. The powder gives a beautiful slightly radiant finish. No, it doesn’t last all day and I have normal skin at the moment. You can find cheaper powders that do the same thing, but it does look beautiful for the first few hours.

Not recommended for combination/oily skin.

skin looks very good for an hour but then gets very oily.

omg... no one mentioned the awful fragrance

I am horrified. Just opened my package and my goodness. The scent on this is so offensive. I think it’s supposed to smell expensive but don’t be fooled by Estée Lauder. You should never put something so heavily fragranced on your skin. I know my skin is going to hate this. I don’t even think I’ll cause myself the stress, must return ASAP. Bare minerals for the win. No one needs their powder to smell. No “miracle broth” could counteract the damage of putting perfume on your face.

Beautiful... for a short period of time

Would have been a HG! Left my skin beautifully blurred, poreless, and matte (but not too matte!) Unfortunately, like all pressed powders before it, it couldn't hold up to my mega-oily skin and only lasted about 2-3 hours. Would have to retouch at lunch. I will experiment with increasing the longevity through primers and setting sprays however will continue my search for a powder that gives a similar finish yet lasts a reasonable amount of time.

J'adore

J'ai commandé une première fois la poudre pressée et étant entièrement satisfaite, je n'ai pas attendu qu'il soit terminé pour repasser commande de ce produit. Le seul petit bémol, la poudre était en partie cassée à l'intérieur du récipient.

Looks luxurious

I wanted to give it 5 stars, because i LOVE La Mer, but this powder for a big too drying for me. Other than that, the texture is velvety and it looks gorgeous.

Pricey & takes the glow out of your face, also makes me look a bit grey.

best powder ever. LA MER is my favorite!

I love this. Makes my skin flawless using very little.
