As it's so finely milled, it absorbs perspiration without settling into creases, and you can pack layers over each other on areas like the cheekbones to stand in for highlighter.Īs someone who hankers for the glow of the setting sun in her makeup look, I felt the shade was a tiny bit too dark for me, but it will come into its own when I’m tanned from a beach break.
While it looked darker than expected at first twist off the pot, when dusting it across my features with a brush, it became an invisible veil, blurring shine and easing glare back to a diffused, luminous glow. You can imagine my delight then, with the brand's latest drop which offers the powder in three varying shades.
While both translucent powder and setting powder help to set makeup and control shine, translucent powder is colorless or nearly. However, I always used it sparingly the standard one shade it came in was much too light for my medium/olive Indian skin. There are a few key characteristics that set the two apart. I’ve found it gives a wonderful filter-like sheen, blurring fine lines and minimising pores while imparting that coveted golden hour glow at any time of day. I first discovered Laura Mercier's Translucent Loose Powder while rifling through my mum’s beauty kit many years ago, and fell for it instantly. New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.You can purchase the Sacha Buttercup Powder from: for £15 if you are from the UK. I recommend you guys to give it a try and let me know how it goes…but for those who may find the Buttercup Powder to be too yellow for them I would suggest using the Laura Mercier Translucent Powder which is also a great alternative.
#Sacha buttercup powder vs laura mercier skin
I can say the Banana Powder works really well to absorb oil although like I said overall, I prefer the Sacha Buttercup Powder because it works better for my skin tone. Photo Credit: Derin of Wonder of BeautyI would consider my skin type to be oily and I found that the Buttercup Powder does not absorb oil although you can always fix this issue with a good primer, matte setting spray or blotting powder. The only thing I wasn’t too happy with was the sifter as a lot of product does come out which can be quite messy. Hey GuysI did a review/versus battle of setting powders between Laura Mercier, Fenty Beauty and Sacha Buttercup. I think the powder works great on medium to dark skin tones because of its yellow tone, therefore it may not work as well on fairer skin tones as an overall setting powder but you can possibly get away with using it to set your under eye. Also unlike the Ben Nye Powder, the buttercup powder doesn’t have flash Back so you won’t look like a ghost when you take pictures with the flash on- no white caste. One of the best things about the Buttercup Powder is its consistency, it’s quite smooth so it makes application much easier.
I’ve absolutely abandoned my Ben Nye Banana powder and I do feel guilty but I’ve always felt as though the Ben Nye was a bit too light to set my under eye concelar let alone my entire face especially being a WOMAN OF COLOUR.
I’ve been using the powder for just over a month now and I have been using it religiously so it’s fair to say that this review is based on my ‘everyday’ use of the product.Īfter using the Buttercup Powder for the last month, I can say it has been one of my best makeup purchases to date. After searching high and low for this product I finally found an online stocklist who actually had it in stock. The powder by Sacha Cosmetics is a setting powder similar to the Ben Nye banana powder and has been raved about by a lot of YouTubers. For those who are very much in tune with the latest makeup trends and products you would have heard about the Sacha Buttercup Powder. But I didn’t want to spoil you guys too early. I have been much too excited to write this post and if I am going to be honest, if had it my way it would have been the first post on the blog.
