HOT NEW TECHNIQUE: USING TRANSLUCENT LOOSE SETTING POWDER - GLOW | DESI PERKINS

The glow. The glowwww ✨✨✨ I know I told you guys about Mario Dedivanovic’s master class with Laura Mercier on Instagram awhile back, but it needed to be said here on youtube of what I learned from Mario. This technique is so bomb-especially for the girls who are about those fresh, flushed, vibrant makeup looks. Everyone and their dog has been using Laura Mercier’s Translucent Setting Powder since it came out 😂 But their new translucent setting powder‎ - glow is a must to try out. It just gives you this supernatural radiant finish without it looking over the top.
Anyway, I hope this technique really helps you guys out-it’s even perfect for an everyday makeup look (in my opinion-y) 💁🏽

I thought she already started off with foundation 😱 oh my my so flawless skin 😩

[@nicoledelacruz8524]

Tashfia Tahsin she has a “blur” filter to further make her skin look flawless and she is know for her amazing camera set up but none the less she has good skills

[@stellashepherd844]

Tashfia Tahsin I know, I was shocked! 😊

[@brittanydabney3397]

I’m loving this technique! I’m the 1% of women who doesn’t like highlighters, but wants that glow from within look! This looks stunning and as natural as it’s going to get with makeup!

[@shanae6271]

Mac strobe cream!!!!

[@amandabutler100]

Brittany Dabney hourglass ambient lighting powders are much better than this one...

[@lindseeey69]

Brittany Dabney agreed. I hate the look of super extra highlighters. A nice glow from within or a more dewy look is for me.

[@MsG110]

That ponytail you were rocking at the master class was everything...please do a video on it! 🙌🏽👱🏽‍♀️

[@beautinewbee2505]

I second that

[@ralinna5138]

I look forward to every “boom” in your videos. Idk why but it makes my day. Kinna want it as a ring tone not gonna lie.

[@carlyschofield2310]

Anyone know what bronzer brush she was using

[@Artliker1234]

hmmm would the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder be a similar concept?

[@merelkelders9490]

That is a finishing powder, so it probably isn't normally used to actually set foundation. But you could definitely try!

[@Xoxolaura74]

basically

[@wendysterlingcarr]

Artliker1234 yes

[@Desert_Embers]

I use the hourglass one to set my makeup and I love it! Gives the same affect but this powder might give a smoother appearance because it is loose

[@nicolehernandez1291]

You look EXTRA beautiful in this video girl! The hair, the jewelry, the makeup, EVERYTHING was just gorgeous! 😍😍😍

[@liekemmn187]

My boyfriend got a glance of the start of the video and asked me: “Oh has JLo a KZbin account now?” ... NO GURL EVEN BETTER! It’s Desi slaying the day. Love your hair like this 👌🏼

[@thandimtungwa1298]

I love this translucent powder glow. ....girl your hair. .those curls stunningly beautiful.

[@vanydakhiev3910]

I've been loving the glow from within look! I personally don't have a need for the powder but I love the concept. I learned a technique from Wayne Goss and I think Desi did this too where you apply bronzer, highlighter, and then blush to diffuse the glow. I think this powder would be great for mature skin or for those who have issues with texture and highlight can overemphasize that.

[@casandraexiga1642]

Thank you for being the only KZbinr that still shows us new techniques!!

[@elyramirez8993]

You are who I aspire to look like, I love you lots Desi 💗💗💗 please drop your skincare routine soon, my skins been having a rough time

[@lorainek.2225]

Just taking a sec to say how much I appreciate your artistry and tutorials. It's refreshing see a genuine and passionate person rather than drama and crazy trends.

[@jessicachristinerosas7589]

I thought u already had foundation on omg skin goalssssss

[@Rkaysmith3]

I’m so happy a more natural highlight is in style now! I’ve just never been a fan of the intense highlighters but love seeing others wear it.

[@IshanAli]

This video was EVERYTHINGGGG

[@laur9en]

this is probably the best new product to come out of the make up industry in a while. sick of seeing full glam all the damn time! Been ride or die for desi for so many years and so glad she’s been able to show us such variety with her content

[@BamitsSam4682]

Beautiful! I wouldn’t call this new technique though. There are lots of “glow from within” highlighters like the hourglass ambient light. Jaclyn hill also used a similar face powder (Marc jacobs I think) to achieve this in her foundation routine from a few months ago! BUT I’m sure the Laura mercier one is iconic and I’m still going to be purchasing it 😂

[@yesorno623]

Sarah I think she uses a Lancôme one

[@BamitsSam4682]

Dar Far My point remains the same! Although I’m sure the LM powder is cheaper than the Lancôme one, so bonus points for them😂

[@AshleyMarie123456789]

Xobeauty by Shaaanxo has a lit from within highlighter as well

[@Oliviarose650]

Yes! It’s the Lancôme absolue powder in peche. It’s beautiful. And expensive. I love it, but probably going to have to get this one too 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@artistrybyjanet4325]

Sarah it was the Lancôme powder

[@beckytumax2428]

GLOWING brighter than a diamond 💎💎

[@Miechonlada]

Constructive criticism : I’m not sure what the set-up set-down is about here. It’s the same as putting highlights on??

[@LisaIsabelle]

I agree with you @LizaJane2010, it's a toned down highlight imo... which is exactly what I've been looking for this past 2 years! While I'm excited about the product, if you're a fan of super shiny highlights, I don't think this product is for you.

[@ceecee8757]

Set down is setting where you DON'T want shine such as your under eyes with no glow. Set up, is bringing the planes of your bone structure to bring forward the luminosity of your skin without all the damn glitter that makes you look sweaty af. Desi explained it perfectly. 4:01 - on...

[@cassieblessed6430]

@LizaJane2010 i absolutely agree. It's a marketing strategy for the company. If you applied a highlighter lightly, i am certain you can get the same effect or something similar

[@Liddoqee03]

Chonlada W. The way I see it is that you’re setting down the areas you want to keep matte or that get oiler than other parts of the face, while keeping the parts you want glowy bare at first and then setting up the high points of the face you want glowy by setting it with the Laura Mercier glow powder. So instead of setting the entire face with a matte powder and then throwing another layer of powder highlight on top the LM powder does both the setting and the glow. What I’ve heard is it’s not really a highlight it’s meant to bring luminosity to even the entire face if you want a light dusting all over if you want an overall fresh looking glow. But it won’t give you a blinding “highlight”, hope I made sense, that was my take on it!

[@amandabutler100]

No.. she just put it where you would put highlight for some reason! It’s a setting powder! You can set your whole face with it and it gives your skin a nice soft glow all over! Same as the hourglass ambient lighting powders! Lancôme has a nice one as well like it as do Nars and Tarte!

[@carasoutherland6140]

Desi looking gorgeous as always! This look was EVERYTHING

[@CarolinaLopez-je6ze]

Loving your hair Desi! Your skin is just flawless. Beautiful look.

[@scarlettphoenix3656]

Or you can do what Wayne Goss has taught makeup artists to do. Place the highlighter where you want, then set with a setting spray. And then grab a buffing brush with powder and buff the face. And you get the exact same thing as using the Laura Mercier Glow powder.

[@fashionbeauty3]

Omggg sooo obsessed as always!! I love learning new things from you! Your so beautiful and fun!! 😘😘❤️🐓 inspired as always!!

[@AntheaToya]

I wonder if the cornstarch free version of her regular powder is as good? Cornstarch breaks me out :-/. People if you’re breaking out consider eliminating cornstarch products! the glow is beautiful though. 🤔 maybe the cornstarch is what makes it sooo good 🧐🧐🧐

[@christinehulmes]

Desi you look even more beautifull with the Mario technique. I must remember to try it out tomorrow morning. Stunning!

[@Cassielynn_]

Unfortunately I can’t use Laura Mercier Translucent Powder anymore because it’s constantly breaking me out. The corn starch in it breaks me out a couple days later after even just once use. And I’ve seen the new translucent glow powder, it’s gold flecks in the same powder but it makes me look funny because of the gold flecks. I wish they did more champagne flecks in it but oh well I can’t use that either because of the corn starch. Now I use the Too Faced Born This Way Setting Powder.

[@laurapenaloza9151]

do you have oily/combination skin? I wouldn't know, given that I have dry skin, but she says that it really helps keep the shine at bay.
