Having bone-dry skin, I hesitate before applying most face powders, fearing I’ll dessicate like a slug sprinkled in salt. However, I have no such worries with Laura Mercier Translucent Powder which leaves even a thirsty complexion like mine shinefree yet with a flattering, soft-focus finish. It’s just been launched in a third shade called Translucent Honey, £32, which works its make-up-setting magic while brightening up medium or olive skin tones.
