The Matte Radiance Baked Powder formula is supposed to have “natural color with soft matte radiance” with “sheer, buildable coverage” that lasts “8 hours.” The powder had an incredibly smooth, soft, and finely-milled feel to it that blended out beautifully on the skin–it didn’t look dry or totally matte, but it had a nice, natural finish that looked like skin but better. It had semi-sheer to opaque coverage, and the blendable texture made it forgiving and easy to diffuse the coverage if over-applied. The color lasted eight and a half hours on me, which is a bit longer than described!

Lovely! The perfect sun-kissed touch.
It is pretty!
Thought I was getting 03 but this review just changed my mind: 04 it is!
Woohoo! Enjoy, Tammy 🙂
Oh là là, love it!! Too bad I can’t get my hands on Laura Mercier products (not sold in Portugal) but if I could, I would buy this one! Love me a good bronzed look!
Aw, drats!
Well, this is kind of a bummer. The formula sounds good, but the first three shades look too light for me, and this has the wrong undertones. Boo 🙁
Oh no! 🙁 I hope they add more shades to the range! The first three don’t need to be so close!
That wouldn’t work for me at all. Though the red undertone is good for that real authentic sun “baked” look.
Bummer! Hopefully you have a bronzer that works for you 🙂
