Thank you for always making your videos short and sweet! No huge intro, no unnecessary jabbering before your opinion, and you are honest. Love from Chicago!
Glad you posted this because all I own is the RCMA and I wondered if I should be trying others. I’ll stick to what I have. It’s lasted me like a year and I’m not even half done with the bottle!
Darci Milord I actually transferred mine into an empty container of Clinique setting powder, but also they sell empty ones on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M68CJJ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1507112333&sr=8-9&keywords=empty+makeup+powder+jars&dpPl=1&dpID=41SwquwjvkL&ref=plSrch
Thank you Wayne for being honest in your reviews. I'm not a huge make up fan but I watch you so I at least have an idea of what I'm doing. You're a nice human
I've tried both these powders and I find the rcma powder better by miles, in fact, I hated the LM powder, my skin just looked so so dry and it showed up every fine line. Thanks to discovering it on your channel, the Rcma powder is an everyday staple for me and all I use. Its better than all the translucent ones I've tried!
Wayne is right about cornstarch based powders. Corn starch exposed to moisture can breed fungal or bacterial substances. This can happen if someone starts to sweat while the cornstarch is present on her face, which can lead to breakouts and inflammation
Also my skin is really oily in the T zone, especially around the nose and I swear my nose remained matt 9 hours without any touch ups. That powder is a gift from god
It does not dry your under eye?? Because for me the RMCA is a catastrophe. It accentuate little wrinkles, dries my skin. The result is best without it.
Makeup by Mario used to use the Ben nye powders on Kim K all the time but I dunno if he still does...and because of that people were obsessed with those powders then somehow the hype died down...not sure why, theyre still great.
Another comment for the RCMA no color white powder: It provides a sense of "dewey moist" towards the end of the day. Not oily. Just like fresh skin! Love it! Thank you, Wayne! Blessings!
I'm sold on my RCMA foundation and setting no-color powder..have been since your reviews went up. When in a pinch I have used corn starch for decades, it is wonderful, does the job, can be found in any home or nearby grocer and I've never had a zit.
I appreciate your taking the time to compare the best of the best. We have you tubers listing their favorites for the month but rarely do they compare their favorites The average person cannot go out and buy every favorite. Thank you so much for thinking of your viewers and their budget. So grateful!
I love love love the RCMA powder! I purchased the Laura Mercier powder twice before I found the RCMA powder and I won't purchase the Laura Mercier again. It's great but I'm not that oily anyway.
Your videos are amazing and short you don’t talk unnecessarily that’s what your subscribers like about you and you are always so clear with what your thoughts are about products
Just bought coty airspun i ADORED it.. Untill the next moring my eczema was flared up so badly. And the smell made me sneeze so much. So just give that to my mummy much to her delight and have purchased the RCMA.. Fingers 🤞
I love the Kryolan Translucent Powder in TL11 shade. More than the RCMA one which was my favorite. The rice powder in it absorbs oil very well and keeps the makeup in place!
The LOVELY Wayne Goss, I did purchase the RCMA white powder, and I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you so much for your lovely and adorable tutorials! I have learned so much! Blessings!
i love the Laura Mercier for baking! it’s the ONLY setting powder that doesn’t leave me cakey especially under the eyes! I LOVE IT! I buy the little one which is only $23 i believe and it lasts me for about a good 5 months. I have oily skin.
Also alot of people are saying the Laura mercier is too dry, I also have veeerrryyy dry skin ( naturally and partially retinols fault) but I use the elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream over my whole face, other wise my face shrivels up and goes flakey, and it makes any makeup and powder look sooo stunning!! For real tho you go the whole way with powder and your skin will still look amazing!
I use the Laura Mercier translucent powder and also the real sand mineral powder However, after seeing this am going to purchase the RCMA powder and compare the two. Any place I can save a few dollars is great by me. Thanks for doing this video..awesome as always!!!
After chasing my cleansing routine, change my foundation and removed Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder from my face routine, have I notice a HUGE difference in break outs I've been getting since I've started using it. Thanks Wayne!
I have dark skin and I’ve tried RCMA ( even with the lightest touch of powder) but it leaves a white cast on my face. With The $36 powder there is no cast at all and it works for me.
What about MEHRON? Also very affordable and it is used in theaters. Long-wearing and a fairly big pot as well. Since I never received my order from our local RCMA, it left a weird feeling in me, so have ordered MEHRON instead. I even received a hand-written note. A lovely touch, I'm a fan. I use a tiny amount.... it mattifies so gently & not at all noticeable. xxx
I like the rcma for baking on my forehead and cheeks b/c I am much more oily in those zones. I primarily use the Laura Mercier powder for under my eyes, the rcma is too drying there and my fine lines become more apparent. The combo of the two is amazing.
I haven't tried either but will be ordering the RCMA. Thanks for the cornstarch heads up. Another powder that works fabulous and never talked about is the Benefit Porefessional powder. Rimmel also has a good one.
I'm so happy I found your channel!!!I'm getting back into makeup after a long hiatus. For the first time in years I'm going to use liguid and cream foundation, but was very concerned about powder. I used minerals for years and had to stop for a number of reasons. One was minerals settling into wrinkles around my eyes, forehead and nose. Soooooo.....I purchased a pressed powder which is fine, but really wanted the loose powder control. Thanks to you I purchased the RMCA powder from Beautyish along with The Ordinary foundation. Yahooooooo!!! They arrived today and I ordered on the 30th. Talk about fast. Saturday my Mom comes home from a two week visit with my sister and I am going to surprise her with my first new look in forever. :-)
I have the Laura Mercier powder and I’ve actually found that it does nothing to control my oil. I’ll use it sparingly under my eyes to set my concealer and brighten the area, but it gets cakey quickly.
I had no idea that corn starch can cause problems for blemish prone skin. Thank you Wayne! I've used rcma for years anyways. LM is not that great of a powder for me imo.
I own a bunch of loose setting powders and this new one by too faced the peach perfect is the softest powder ive ever used! im oily with acne prone skin and that powder is just beautiful. I pat it on with a sponge (and im 33y/o so i def have some undereye wrinkles) but this powder doesnt make them look bad at al!!
OO! I saw the new too faced peach perfect powder and wondered how it would do. You really like it? I have the opposite skin type-sensitive and combo (oily t zone) and so setting make up in the t zone is always interesting, but the color on that powder would be a lovely match for my skin. How drying did you feel it was?
Jamie Lynn hey babe, out of all the loose setting powders ive tried it is by far the least drying (idk why because you would think its super dry since its for oily skin) but when you touch that powder, its the lightest softest thing ive ever felt lol. ive tried cover fx loose powder, rcma, laura mercier..... i would think though if you get dry that the too faced born this way loose powder may be good, but i absolutely love the peach powder, i didnt use primer under foundation and i put that powder on and it makes me loom more flawless than ive ever looked lol its some miracle powder for me!
Yep, I bought the RCMA on your recommendation about a year ago and since have also owned the byTerry, LM, Mac...and love them all, but I still use the RCMA alllll the time! Using it today! Love it!! xoxo!
I love the RCMA powder. I've had it for about 5 months and I'm only about 1/5 in. And I use it every day. My preferred method for application is to apply with a damp beauty blender.
I love your review and how short your videos are. I love it because you give us the information that we need without going on this long tangents. SIMPLY PERFECT!!
Ive been waiting to try rcma..i love the cream foundation from them but the powder is always sold out!! Thanks for the comparison. The LM actually looked terrible on me and broke me out so good to know, im not the only one
I’m suffering from rosacea, so... just like blemish prone skin can’t use products with cornstarch. I’ve been using the No Color powder for over 5 years, with good results. I have oily skin, too... and the NCP works just as well as more expensive powders. Just wish they’d also make this in a pressed version. Right now, I alternate between the pressed NARS Crystal and MAC, for touch ups on the go.
I have acne prone skin and use the Laura mercier and personally have never experienced any problems in terms of blemishes with it! I got it about the same time my skin started to clear up and it hasn't caused any new breakouts or blemishes, but that's just me everyone's different
The Laura Mercier powder is even too drying on my normal skin. I think it only works on oily skin or oily areas of your skin. I like the RCMA powder, but the packaging makes quite it inconvenient to use. TBH I would not substitute either of them with my very favourite the Charlotte Tilbury powder.
I know it's RMCA without watching because I bought two bottles (still have 1.50) on Wayne's suggestion and previous video. Best stuff I've used. I use it as the powder to put on my face Before my BB cream, per Wayne because he's Amazing💙💗💚💜✨✨✨
I adore both of these powders! I have normal skin, slightly oily in the T-zone by end of day. For me, LM wins a smidge because my makeup stays just a little bit longer (like you said) - but I have very long work days and I find this matters for me! However, my face looks somehow even more flawless and airbrushed with RCMA. I also find that, even with the high price tag for LM, it lasts me for 6+ months even using it every day. Love your videos Wayne!
Hello Mr. Goss I love your channel, this video helped but could you please bring us a video explaining HD powder vs. Loose powder vs. Powder foundation and ect. I know I personally still don't understand the difference between all the different powders and would love an in-depth rundown. Thank you!
I have dry patches on my skin and i find that the RCMA works better on those areas. Like i have dry under eyes when i use the Laura Mercier it makes my under eyes look cakey and creasy but with the RCMA it sets so nicely!! i still use LM to set my non dry areas though.
I’ve had my RCMA since December and I’ve barely used 1/4th of it (I use it EVERY time I wear makeup for under the eyes, on my eye lids to prime before eye shadow, to make my lips matte everything!)
Love your channel and thanks for the cornstarch tip. What is remarkable is that LM is actually much cheaper than other high end brands like nars, cover fx, by terry. While it is priced at a comparable level, LM contains 29 gr of product, the others around 10 gr.
Am I the only one who DOES have issues with all translucent powders always being white on my face? I’m white enough, these always make it worse. Even the tiniest bit of powder does it. I still use them because the silica ones do work amazingly at controlling oil. Then my face dries out. So I either have to deal with having oily skin or flakey dry skin. I can’t win. But that one day when I’ve gotten rid of the dry skin and I use the powder again and don’t have an oil slick all day, is glorious. If I’m lucky, I might get 2 days before the silica starts sucking the moisture out of my soul again.
Amy Brock I came here to TH-cam to research setting powders because I have the same problem! I used Mac and now I’m using Coty. Both makes me look WHITE! (I’m Asian, by the way). I can dab a little and dust it off ASAP and it still leaves a white cast. Maybe RCMA will do better.
I love the Laura Mercier powder but it definitely is expensive!! I was looking for something that is just as good and you answered it for me!! I love your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Honestly wish I saw this before getting the Laura mercier powder. I think that may have Caused break outs recently for me, and in Canadian dollars I think I will buy the Rcma one. Thank you for the honest review
I just got the RCMA. So far it works great. So I probobly won't bother trying anything else. I am poor so the price is right. I ended up geting a powder container on amazon. That makes it much easier to use. RCMA is a winner. I also started using their foundation. So I like it. The shade porcelain is great for the pale goth look I go for.
It is quite a cheap and standard container however it’s probably what makes the product more economical and cheaper to buy, but that is a really good idea about transferring it x
In Mexico the RCMA is available for almost $20 :( I have combination skin and it gets more dry than I'd like it, at least definetly not for baking. And also because in my skin tone it leaves a little bit of whitness. I just have to use a very thin layer. Even though, I like it, and that amount of powder it's gonna last forever. I still want to found a perfect powder.
Thank you so much for this! I was actually going to buy the Laura Mercier powder but I'm so glad I watched this before I did! I can have problematic skin and I didn't even know about the RCMA powder! Definitely going to try it out, and thanks for being short and to the point.
I just started using RCMA powder again and I don't love it like I used to. I don't remember it leaving a white cast on my skin, but it does now. I've never tried the Laura Mercier powder so I cannot compare. I do love ELF's pressed HD powder, but I think there's probably flashback since it's HD. It's finely milled for the price though and sets my undereye well.I would like to try the Charlotte Tilbury powder.
My face has been breaking out ever since I started using the LM translucent powder to set my face. You’re the first beauty guru that I know of mentioning anything about the Laura Mercier containing cornstarch. Thank you so much for the info. Love ur videos
I use Lauras powder despite oily skin. After 5 h. it starts to look dewey. Not oily. Dewey. Even nicer than flat mat. Beautiful product. For a foundation I use skin79 Orange 50 spf. This duet makes te skin look flawless.
I'm an oily skin gal and I finally succumbed and bought a travel size of the Laura mercier. After baking with it like I normally do with my powder, my oils were coming through only a few hours into wearing it. Kinda sad and disappointed. I think I'll just stick to my Coty airspun but who knows maybe RCMA may have some tricks up its sleeve.
I'd never heard of RCMA before Wayne. Now it's the only powder I use. I have dry skin & ive never had a problem with drying, caking or heaviness. It's s dream. So thank you Wayne for showing me the way......... AGAIN! Lol Mwah 💋
I’m using rcma powder and I find it’s finish quite cakey on skin whereas when I use Chanel universal powder the skin looks much more silky and smoother in person but both show up on camera quite the same.
I thought I'd love the laura mercier powder because so many people did but neither me or my sister cared for it. When you baked it would settle uneven, ashy in some areas, n looked like a ghost. So then I would be scared of baking entirely because when I'd take it off, itd take concealer with it. One day it was so bad that someone asked me why I looked tired because I had a full face on and basically no concealor because it took it away but it was still "set" in so I couldnt do anything. Also, I didn't bake for too long id put it on for maybe 1 minute, I found all these problems under eyes, chin,nose, and forehead.
I have the Laura Mercier and I prefer it over the RCMA. The RCMA was okay, but it seemed drying and it didn't blend as well into my skin. Plus the top of the packaging broke after a week.
I have the LM powder and have loved it ever since I got it. I do have oily T-Zone skin, and it helps keep the foundation set all day long. Honestly, though, I'm finding I reach for my Too Faced Ethereal Setting Powder more than the LM!
Laura Mercier Powder costs too much in Australia. I didn't re-purchase, wasn't worth it and didn't work that well on me. I have kept the powder puff, that's nice. What is a great powder available in Australia that doesn't have flashback? And thanks Wayne, I love how your videos don't go for 20 minutes despite loving your voice.
I use both for a while now and i really love them both, they work well for me and i don't bake, caus i'm 36 and have mature skin, it really doesn't look well if i bake. But if i have to choose, i slightly prefer the Laura Mercier.
Havent try rcma powder yet. I bought the laura mercier for my makeup kit, i tried to use it for myself just to see how it performs on my oily skin. Ang youre right Wayne, i have sensitive acne prone skin too and i noticed i break out whenever i use it though it really lasts a long time for oily skin that is, if you have no problematic skin like i do it is i think an excellent powder
Thank you for always making your videos short and sweet! No huge intro, no unnecessary jabbering before your opinion, and you are honest. Love from Chicago!
I can't agree more. Love from Lima Peru!!
Glad you posted this because all I own is the RCMA and I wondered if I should be trying others. I’ll stick to what I have. It’s lasted me like a year and I’m not even half done with the bottle!
Christine Rogers wish the container was better to use on a daily bases! It’s like a spice bottle
Darci Milord omg true. That's the only down side of it but for the price and performance, i think it's well worth it!
Darci Milord I actually transferred mine into an empty container of Clinique setting powder, but also they sell empty ones on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M68CJJ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1507112333&sr=8-9&keywords=empty+makeup+powder+jars&dpPl=1&dpID=41SwquwjvkL&ref=plSrch
Christine Rogers same here it’s my favorite it’s the best thing out
Does it flashback?
i use rcma and you only need a tiny amount works well no issues with flashback so so affordable too...
Willow Biggs ikr it's my go to powder
Isn't it too light for darker skin? I always use colored translucent powder cause the white ones make my skin look dead 😣
Sara Rodrigues actually I found about the RCMA powder through black beauty gurus (either toomuchmouth or Nyma tang idk which)
actually it disappears wonderful..
i do have a flashback 🤔
Thank you Wayne for being honest in your reviews. I'm not a huge make up fan but I watch you so I at least have an idea of what I'm doing. You're a nice human
Beth Roesch yas and it's such a necessary video

Wayne is right about cornstarch based powders. Corn starch exposed to moisture can breed fungal or bacterial substances. This can happen if someone starts to sweat while the cornstarch is present on her face, which can lead to breakouts and inflammation
Thank you! I love to learn about such things
The Rcma powder has changed my makeup game, I’m not kidding! It is a wonderful product and it is also cheap 😩😍
Also my skin is really oily in the T zone, especially around the nose and I swear my nose remained matt 9 hours without any touch ups. That powder is a gift from god
Do you get that flashback with the rcma powder when you do flash photography ?
no i have it and it doesnt give me flashback
It does not dry your under eye?? Because for me the RMCA is a catastrophe. It accentuate little wrinkles, dries my skin. The result is best without it.
I love Ben Nye powders. Fine milled, no flash back, very little creasing, very inexpensive.
Halley DeVestern no one ever mentions Ben Nye and his powders are great! 😊
Makeup by Mario used to use the Ben nye powders on Kim K all the time but I dunno if he still does...and because of that people were obsessed with those powders then somehow the hype died down...not sure why, theyre still great.
they're not finely milled at all, very chunk compared to other powders as well as the LM one. Also ben nye are very drying.

RCMA all the way, been using it for over a year now and still have a lot of product left. best setting powder hands down. great review!!
Your videos are amazing and short you don’t talk unnecessarily that’s what your subscribers like about you and you are always so clear with what your thoughts are about products

Was looking for a new powder and I was considering the RCMA. Seeing you approve of it has solidified my decision💃🏽
I use the Laura Mercier translucent powder and also the real sand mineral powder However, after seeing this am going to purchase the RCMA powder and compare the two. Any place I can save a few dollars is great by me. Thanks for doing this video..awesome as always!!!
After chasing my cleansing routine, change my foundation and removed Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder from my face routine, have I notice a HUGE difference in break outs I've been getting since I've started using it. Thanks Wayne!
Ok, I suppose I am an old fotty dotty! I love Dior loose powder. My skin is tired and mature(old). It told me it deserves Dior 🙏🏻
I have dark skin and I’ve tried RCMA ( even with the lightest touch of powder) but it leaves a white cast on my face. With The $36 powder there is no cast at all and it works for me.
I literally have both of these on today, I set my undereye with RCMA and my foundation with the new deeper translucent shade of Laura Mercier
I use to love my Laura Mercier translucent powder but since I got RCMA no color I never went back. It is truly amazing!
Wow! Never heard that about the cornstarch. Thank you so much. I think you’ve saved my skin a lot of trouble.
I have combination skin and the RCMA is my holy grail. Thank you Wayne for making me buy it!
What about MEHRON? Also very affordable and it is used in theaters. Long-wearing and a fairly big pot as well.

Love the fact that you get to the point and don't waffle on and on and on. Thanks Wayne xx
I prefer my $3 rimmel transparent over my $39 laura mercier translucent powder
Yaniva CE true fam! Thanks for the tip girl 😭😍
Does it have flashback in photos?
Yaniva CE Yes! I love the Rimmell a new love for me but so underrated
anne lu no it doesn’t and it’s really good
JustJole oh that's good! Thanks!
I like the rcma for baking on my forehead and cheeks b/c I am much more oily in those zones. I primarily use the Laura Mercier powder for under my eyes, the rcma is too drying there and my fine lines become more apparent. The combo of the two is amazing.

Pam E I'm sure products containing corn starch were used years ago in products to help oily skin! It was called Corn Silk I think.
Linda Mcchlery That product sounds about right.
RCMA is the best! Such a great powder! Nothing will ever beat it!
I own a bunch of loose setting powders and this new one by too faced the peach perfect is the softest powder ive ever used! im oily with acne prone skin and that powder is just beautiful.

I LOVE that you just smashed that out in less than 3 minutes!! Straight to the point!
So glad you posted this video. I actually just received my Rcma powder in the mail today. Can't wait to use it finally.
I love the RCMA powder. I've had it for about 5 months and I'm only about 1/5 in. And I use it every day. My preferred method for application is to apply with a damp beauty blender.
I love your review and how short your videos are. I love it because you give us the information that we need without going on this long tangents. SIMPLY PERFECT!!
I have and love both. I use rcma for baking and mercier for fancy days with better longevity.
Ive been waiting to try rcma..i love the cream foundation from them but the powder is always sold out!! Thanks for the comparison. The LM actually looked terrible on me and broke me out so good to know, im not the only one

Switched to the Physicians Formula mineral loose powder recently, looks and feels perfect, plus is super inexpensive
I have acne prone skin and use the Laura mercier and personally have never experienced any problems in terms of blemishes with it! I got it about the same time my skin started to clear up and it hasn't caused any new breakouts or blemishes, but that's just me everyone's different
I love the rcma powder, and bought it because you speak highly of it. Thank you! You are wonderful!
I use the rcma but I was wondering if I should try the Laura Mercier... Wonder no more! Thanks for saving me money! Love your sincerity always.
The Laura Mercier powder is even too drying on my normal skin. I think it only works on oily skin or oily areas of your skin.

I agree with Christine Rogers on this one. I was actually looking to buy another powder BUT if Wayne says RCMA is all you need then it's gospel! ❤️ ❤️
Love how you're always so forward and straight to the point. Thanks for the review!
I’ve had my RCMA since December and I’ve barely used 1/4th of it (I use it EVERY time I wear makeup for under the eyes, on my eye lids to prime before eye shadow, to make my lips matte everything!)
I've always had airspun, I tried Laura mercier and returned it
Like RCMA but it can be to dry at times on my skin. That CoverFx illuminating powder goes on so smooth and feels so good on the skin.
Love your honesty, must say your getting better looking with age gorgeous.....
Love your channel and thanks for the cornstarch tip. What is remarkable is that LM is actually much cheaper than other high end brands like nars, cover fx, by terry. While it is priced at a comparable level, LM contains 29 gr of product, the others around 10 gr.
Am I the only one who DOES have issues with all translucent powders always being white on my face? I’m white enough, these always make it worse. Even the tiniest bit of powder does it. I still use them because the silica ones do work amazingly at controlling oil. Then my face dries out. So I either have to deal with having oily skin or flakey dry skin. I can’t win. But that one day when I’ve gotten rid of the dry skin and I use the powder again and don’t have an oil slick all day, is glorious. If I’m lucky, I might get 2 days before the silica starts sucking the moisture out of my soul again.
Amy Brock I came here to TH-cam to research setting powders because I have the same problem! I used Mac and now I’m using Coty. Both makes me look WHITE! (I’m Asian, by the way). I can dab a little and dust it off ASAP and it still leaves a white cast. Maybe RCMA will do better.
manilamegan rcma has a 'translucent' powder, it's the same as the no color powder except it has a slight flesh tone, maybe it'll work better for you.
Wayne is an absolute babe - favourite MUA for sure
I keep my RCMA in an old school powder jar and it just makes it feel super lux.
I'm laughing so hard... "that's a f*&ING LOT of product"!!!
I love the Laura Mercier powder but it definitely is expensive!! I was looking for something that is just as good and you answered it for me!! I love your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Honestly wish I saw this before getting the Laura mercier powder. I think that may have Caused break outs recently for me, and in Canadian dollars I think I will buy the Rcma one. Thank you for the honest review
I never find RCMA in stores...though, I rarely consciously search for it -- would definitely love to try it!
I just got the RCMA. So far it works great. So I probobly won't bother trying anything else. I am poor so the price is right. I ended up geting a powder container on amazon. That makes it much easier to use.
RCMA is a winner. I also started using their foundation. So I like it. The shade porcelain is great for the pale goth look I go for.
Always truthful and honest.
I always have to pour my RMCA into a used It Cosmetics powder container because the “spice bottle” it comes in is terrible!!!
Omg yes i hate the bottle
It is quite a cheap and standard container however it’s probably what makes the product more economical and cheaper to buy, but that is a really good idea about transferring it x
the cornstarch in laura mercier’s powder definitely broke me out within two days of using it! maybe i should try rcma.
In Mexico the RCMA is available for almost $20 :( I have combination skin and it gets more dry than I'd like it, at least definetly not for baking. And also because in my skin tone it leaves a little bit of whitness. I just have to use a very thin layer. Even though, I like it, and that amount of powder it's gonna last forever. I still want to found a perfect powder.
Thank you so much for this! I was actually going to buy the Laura Mercier powder but I'm so glad I watched this before I did! I can have problematic skin and I didn't even know about the RCMA powder! Definitely going to try it out, and thanks for being short and to the point.
I just started using RCMA powder again and I don't love it like I used to. I don't remember it leaving a white cast on my skin, but it does now. I've never tried the Laura Mercier powder so I cannot compare. I do love ELF's pressed HD powder, but I think there's probably flashback since it's HD. It's finely milled for the price though and sets my undereye well.I would like to try the Charlotte Tilbury powder.
My face has been breaking out ever since I started using the LM translucent powder to set my face.
You’re the first beauty guru that I know of mentioning anything about the Laura Mercier containing cornstarch. Thank you so much for the info.
Love ur videos
By your recommendation long ago I have RCMA and 💖it except for the packaging..thank you Wayne your always giving us accurate information
Any one else love how short & sweet & to the poInt Wayne’s videos are?! 🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻
I use Lauras powder despite oily skin. After 5 h. it starts to look dewey. Not oily. Dewey. Even nicer than flat mat. Beautiful product. For a foundation I use skin79 Orange 50 spf. This duet makes te skin look flawless.
Love your quick reviews. To the point no bs.
I'm an oily skin gal and I finally succumbed and bought a travel size of the Laura mercier. After baking with it like I normally do with my powder, my oils were coming through only a few hours into wearing it. Kinda sad and disappointed. I think I'll just stick to my Coty airspun but who knows maybe RCMA may have some tricks up its sleeve.
Do you use airspun suntan?
I'd never heard of RCMA before Wayne. Now it's the only powder I use. I have dry skin & ive never had a problem with drying, caking or heaviness. It's s dream. So thank you Wayne for showing me the way......... AGAIN! Lol Mwah 💋
I’m using rcma powder and I find it’s finish quite cakey on skin whereas when I use Chanel universal powder the skin looks much more silky and smoother in person but both show up on camera quite the same.
RCMA is amazing, wish it came in a better container, always feels like I'm dealing w a salt shaker!
I love how your videos are short yet so thorough. Thank you 😘
This is the loose powder comparison I needed! 😄 Thank you ☺️ Time to give RCMA a try after being a Laura Mercier addict for so long!
I thought I'd love the laura mercier powder because so many people did but neither me or my sister cared for it. When you baked it would settle uneven, ashy in some areas, n looked like a ghost. So then I would be scared of baking entirely because when I'd take it off, itd take concealer with it. One day it was so bad that someone asked me why I looked tired because I had a full face on and basically no concealor because it took it away but it was still "set" in so I couldnt do anything. Also, I didn't bake for too long id put it on for maybe 1 minute, I found all these problems under eyes, chin,nose, and forehead.
I have the Laura Mercier and I prefer it over the RCMA. The RCMA was okay, but it seemed drying and it didn't blend as well into my skin. Plus the top of the packaging broke after a week.
I've never heard anyone mention that about cornstarch in products before! So informative thank you!
I have the LM powder and have loved it ever since I got it. I do have oily T-Zone skin, and it helps keep the foundation set all day long. Honestly, though, I'm finding I reach for my Too Faced Ethereal Setting Powder more than the LM!
Laura Mercier Powder costs too much in Australia. I didn't re-purchase, wasn't worth it and didn't work that well on me. I have kept the powder puff, that's nice. What is a great powder available in Australia that doesn't have flashback? And thanks Wayne, I love how your videos don't go for 20 minutes despite loving your voice.
I use air spun and quite like it. (Like $5 and readily available) but am thinking of trying the RCMA.
I have tried both and I love the Laura mercier one more as the RCMA makes me look a little dry under the eyes when baking
OMG! I have the Laura Mercier and I love it, but I was wondering why I was breaking out in random places!! Damn! Good to know!
For a high Street alternative, I use GOSH primer and mattifying powder. £8ish from Superdrug and is pretty good too.
I use both for a while now and i really love them both, they work well for me and i don't bake, caus i'm 36 and have mature skin, it really doesn't look well if i bake.
But if i have to choose, i slightly prefer the Laura Mercier.
Havent try rcma powder yet. I bought the laura mercier for my makeup kit, i tried to use it for myself just to see how it performs on my oily skin. Ang youre right Wayne, i have sensitive acne prone skin too and i noticed i break out whenever i use it though it really lasts a long time for oily skin that is, if you have no problematic skin like i do it is i think an excellent powder
