Buying the Laura Mercier loose powder (£29.95, Sephora.co.uk) is practically a rite of passage in any beauty buff’s lifespan. I remember my first tub: a miniscule sample stolen from my mum’s ‘free gift with purchase’. Its key draw? It dries down moveable make-up without appearing heavy, effortlessly blurring imperfections in the process. Now, to add to its list of merits, the brand has released a new mint-hued variety (£44, Cultbeauty.co.uk) designed to minimise redness.
For anyone with rosacea, psoriasis or skin sensitivity prone to flare ups, this ability to calm down the appearance of inflammation could be a lifesaver. Even if you’re guilty of picking at breakouts, the promises of this new powder – on paper – will likely serve you well.
