RCMA No Color Powder, Shaker Top Bottle, Authentic, 3 oz.

Product Information

Looking at the initial comparisons, what stands out is the fact that RCMA offers triple the amount of product at a fraction of the cost to the Laura Mercier powder. This is where many people jumped on the RCMA band wagon cos lets be honest, who doesn’t love a great product that’s also budget friendly. But of course there’s more we need to cover about each…

Or what would you recomend.. my under eye tends to crease and I just want a smooth under eye with no white out cast that can easily take pics.. have you ever tried the cover fx translucent powder? I do have quite dry undereye area. With the powder I would like to both set my concealer, preventing it from creasing, and maybe leave it slightly lighter than the rest of the face? Because I do have foundation powder which I use to set the rest of the face, but I feel it will look too dark under my eyes. Thank you! Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder is possibly the most talked about and hyped about setting powder in the beauty world. So much so, that it’s featured in just about every makeup tutorial and most makeup artists have at least one pot in their kits.Hi Mariam! Thank you so much, that means to much to me. There is only one “shade” for the translucent powder. The powder that comes in 3 shade options is the foundation powder. Hope that helps! xx Awesome! Was thinking about RCMA powder but…. taking a picture with the flash on if you use it for baking, does it show up? I bought and used NYX translucent loose powder for baking under eye and while it looked great, I took a flash picture of myself and I was horrified at the white smears all over my face! Haha. Just curious on this… way better price than laura mercier! Hi Bronwyn, I’m so happy to hear the post helped you with your decision. Price point is definitely very different between the two powders, however you only need the tiniest amount so it will last a long time. I guess you can look at it as a long-term investment :)

An extremely lightweight, silky, sheer setting powder that leaves skin with a flawless finish…contains the finest French “cashmere” talc and a unique light reflecting ingredient that that creates a “soft focus” appearance for fine lines and imperfections. Hmmm I’ve never had that problem personally or on my clients. But I avoid using these powders on very dry skin, and if I do, I use a very small amount. Your skin may just be too dry to use a translucent powder. I find that mineralized powders work better for dry skin. Are you using the powder to bake your concealer? Because I would definitely avoid that technique for your skin type. RCMA, as a brand, is more famous in the professional makeup world. RCMA has been around for years and their No Color Setting Powder is one of their most renowned and widely used products. I hear ya! It’s tough because I’ve found that on some people the RCMA does better in terms of oil control than the Laura Mercier TP and visa versa. If I were you I would give the RCMA No Color Powder or the RCMA Translucent Poweder a try – it’s actually very comparable to the Laura Mercier TP. Hope that helps!

Don't miss a thing

The only differences I found – one minor and one more defining – is that the translucent powder is more finely milled and does a better job at oil control. The latter difference is the reason why I think the translucent powder is a superior product, especially for those with oily or combination skin. I found that my skin was more shiny on the side with the RCMA powder within a couple hours of wear. And, that conversely, the translucent powder made my skin look more luminous rather than oily. With that said, if you’re trying to decide between the two and you’re budget conscious, I would try the RCMA powder first and see if it works for you. It’s a great product, and I think that as far as how it looks on the skin, I can see no difference in person or in flash photography. I would still recommend RCMA No Color Powder, especially considering the price and the generous size. I just find it performs better with oily or excessively oily skin types which can be restrictive and hit and miss in terms of overall performance. Despite the substantial price and size difference, I’ll have to crown Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder as the winner. From application to finish to overall performance, I can vouch for it being an all-round great product for all skin types and tones. Thank you so much for the information! I have the RCMA powder and have been wanting to try to Laura Mercier one. I see sometimes online that there’s a Laura Mercier translucent powder number 01, 02, and 03. Do you happen to know what the difference is between the three? I think I’m going to try the Laura Mercier one because sometimes I get oily. Thanks again for this! You have really helped and provided amazing information!
