Review: Estee Lauder’s Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder

This is my all-time favourite loose powder, and by far the best I’ve used. I’m sure you’ve heard of it, for it is one of Estee Lauder’s bestsellers. Let me introduce you to Estee Lauder’s Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder

Estee Lauder Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder

This loose powder provides flawless coverage and luminous finish on your skin, after you’ve applied your foundation. What I like about this powder is that, compared to loose powders by Clinique and Shiseido, it’s very fine, and does not make your makeup look cakey.

Description:

For a luminous finish that minimizes the look of lines and wrinkles.
Special ingredients diffuse light as it hits your skin, creating a “soft-focus” effect that visibly smooths the appearance of your skin.
Dermatologist-tested.

The loose powder comes with a small puff which is used to apply the powder. The blue container has a plastic cover with holes in it, to prevent overspill of powder (you wouldn’t want too much powder on your skin either; just a light overall sweep will do).

I prefer to very lightly puff my face with powder, and use my face brush to even the application. By sweeping the brush in a downward angle, I “close” the pores, giving my skin a more flawless appearance.

Estee Lauder Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder Swatches

I use Transparent 06; apparently this is a popular choice of colour amongst Malaysians, as they are almost always sold out. I remembered going from one shopping centre to another, to the Estee Lauder counters just to get this particular colour, and more often than not, they were sold out, and I had to wait about 2 to 4 weeks before they restock. I don’t know why they take so long to replenish their stock; it’s best to get the powder when it’s available, and not wait till your supply’s dwindled.

Estee Lauder’s Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder retails at RM120 at all Estee Lauder counters.

What I like about it: The fine powder gives my skin a flawless look, and I do not feel as though I’m wearing anything on my face

What I did not like about it: Malaysian Estee Lauder counters seem to take ages to get the loose powder replenished.

    I’ve never used EL’s powder but I’ve heard many good things about it. If I ever finish up the powders I currently have, I’ll give this a shot!
