*NEW* LAURA MERCIER ULTRA BLUR POWDER VS ORIGINAL | Maryam Maquillage

[@thatslifebeauty25]

I was considering buying this since I have really bad texture on my chin from hormonal acne, I'm glad I watched reviews 1st. It is awesome when someone is honest about products instead of just hyping up products that are trash either for trends or because they're paid to do so. Thank you so much for the honest review and the close up views!

[@krystaltan7707]

same skin problem

[@abzgee11]

Holy cow! Finally! i stumble across a creator with the exact skin texture as me 😭🙌🏽

[@amc1456]

I was debating buying this cuz I have oily skin, since it says it’s ‘matte’ but i try to avoid anything luminous unless it’s a blush, as long as it’s more iridescent than glittery. I’m so glad I watched this instead of buying it. I have followed you for years, your videos are very helpful.

[@pdt984]

Another realllllly good blurring powder is Nikkia Joy’s velvet powder. Definitely up there in my top five. Thank you for reviewing this one because I was definitely excited about it! 💕💕

Was JUST looking at this!! Do you prefer the loose or pressed? 💛🥹

[@pdt984]

@@lesliegutierrez-roman1690 I haven’t tried the pressed version but I’ve heard others say it’s just as good as the loose. My personal preference always leans towards a loose powder though.

I was about to buy the ultra blur one, good thing I came across your video as an #oilAF girl. Thanks for your honest review ❤️

[@CamilleRodriguez]

Im obsessed with the new powder. One because its talc free. Two because I have dry to normal and three because it stayed perfectly on the skin but also felt so silky and blurring! The original was my fave 10 years ago but now its way too heavy on my skin.

[@MaryamMaquillage]

I wish I loved it as much as you do! Maybe it’s better for dry skin types ☺️

[@CamilleRodriguez]

@@MaryamMaquillage I know me too! 🤍 but I understand this version might now be for everyone. Loved your review on it either way 😁

[@msbellydancagirl]

This was very helpful! I love the talc free option but knowing it is a radiant powder, I'll probably stick to my Ilia powder. ❤️ you!

[@kezzbeatles]

So great to see honest reviews 🙂

[@stephlon6757]

I totally agree, the ultra blur one actually emphasized my textured skin as well😩😑

[@samuelriffon9558]

They new powder definitly looks more dewy and enhance textures...I wanted to buy it so much since i have oily skin but there is oil in the ingredient (i think sunflower seed oil?) That's why i skipped on it and now that im seeing this i do not regret haha! Plus there is less powder and its more expensive... I think the powder is not that bad but its marketed with the wrong claim obviously. Amazing video btw i love everything you do ❤️

[@BeautyInBing]

Happy Sunday Question: "What is the difference between a pressed powder and a powder foundation?

[@MaryamMaquillage]

Pigmentation mainly. A powder foundation also is supposed to prevent your skin from drying out, whereas a pressed powder is supposed to go on top and “dry out” the shine from your foundation

[@retiredluvrgirl]

a pressed powder is just like loose powder but in a loose form. it simply sets your makeup. some pressed powders do have color, but it's just a sheer tint, not enough to cover. a powder foundation will pack a lot more pigment. well, depending on the formula of course, because some are fuller coverage than others. but essentially, powder foundations aren't really made to set your liquid foundation unless u want to add more coverage! a lot of people love to just use liquid foundation and/or concealer to conceal, set with a pressed or loose powder all over, and then use a smaller brush and pack the powder foundation on blemishes to keep the concealer from wearing off on that specific spot and add coverage on top of that concealer.. i hope that made sense lol 😅

[@BeautyInBing]

@@retiredluvrgirl Wow.. seriously thank you and yes, that made perfect sense 💖🙂

[@C-hime]

Thank you for this review! As someone who has small scarring on my inner cheek area, that almost look like enlarged pores, this was very helpful. I was excited to see a new powder from LM but as an another oily af girl it’s a no for me dawg lol.

[@elenitsaantos2394]

That’s weird! It looks amazing on my skin I love it so much ( the new one I mean) Gives a flawless finish and it’s not flat matte on ur face. Also hides the pores pretty well because of the blurring priorities in there . I hated the old one . I looked 80 years old lol

[@MaryamMaquillage]

Opposite experience for me

[@ainakunigelyte]

hey ! which good powder do you recommend that would be mattifying and blurring but also TALC-free?:) thank yoU!

[@eunicediannelardizabal8250]

I love the original one but they say it comes with talc so currently looking for a talc free alternative.

[@e.r.7785]

I actually think you look way better on the new powder side, gives you a natural glow

I was curious about this but held off on purchasing because I don’t like the original and I wasn’t sold on this one. Now I can easily take it off my list. 😊

[@laurenl5843]

Thanks for this honest review! 😊💜👍

[@andreadedominicis5692]

This is the first video I have seen from you and your honesty is awesome which brings this question to my mind. My skin is like yours; with that being said I would prefer to use one powder to control shine for a long time, keep foundation in place and blur large pores. If you could choose one powder albeit a setting powder, or a compact powder or a finishing powder which would it be? Thanks for being honest so I can at least buy one product and give it a good try. (not sure if this forum is for questions so messaged from face book with the same question :)

[@MaryamMaquillage]

I would say the best that does it all is this one: bit.ly/3rwbnq3

Yikes! Glad I decided to get some reviews before I went to Sephora. Thank you!

[@cristinaacosta2206]

I have the exact same opinion! This powder did nothing for my makeup. Never has issues with the original one but this new version for me was a total disaster! Ended returning it two days after purchase of how bad it was!

Maryam (totally unrelated to the video butttt…) do you like the Dior backstage primer. I’m planning on picking up the foundation soon and wanna know if the primer is worth the coins?

[@MaryamMaquillage]

I like it for the glow, but it doesn’t do anything for pores, smoothing, etc

[@loricanella2549]

I agree with you 100%. It enhances all my flaws. Returning

[@kaela6170]

Under suggested use it says to apply the powder before foundation and it acts as a barrier that absorbs oil and prevents oiliness throughout the day, maybe try that?

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

Hi Maryam, LM came out with a rose toned setting powder. I wonder if it would be better for the under eyes to brighten than this one. The OG is still one of the best for oily skin. Dior has a great loose setting powder, so does Lancome. I want to try the Givenchy loose powder that color corrects. Great video. Team truth as always! 😉🤗

[@MaryamMaquillage]

Yes I use the rose tone up a lot! Love the lancome one too

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

@@MaryamMaquillage Yeah! 😁 So glad you liked my choices. I still want to try the rose tinted powders. Any suggestions regarding the difference between the Guerlain, Huda and the LM (other than price)? I've only tried the MAC under eye powder in a white and pinky hue ti color correct and set under eyes (from their contour kit). Very nice, brightening and effective.

The talc is what actually smoothes, and the silica adds sparkle or sheen & I'm not here for that 😐🙅🏾‍♀️

[@matheusreis2443]

I don't get why they would make a blurring powder that reflects light. It's very commom for light reflecting products to accentuate skin texture which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what this powder claims to do.

Yes. It’s bizarre

[@KS-op5hb]

helpful ! thank you

[@alexiz0013]

Lol, here's the thought process it feels like LM put into releasing this powder: "Hey, we need to make a blurring talc-free powder to appeal to the anti-talc community, and add some light reflects too because that's trendy." "Wait, it's way harder to make a good blurring powder without talc... especially when throwing reflects into the mix. This isn't even turning out as effective as our OG powder... But oh, well, let's just release it as is!" "Then how do we get a ton of people to be interested in this powder?" "Market it as if it's somehow better or more exciting than the OG by calling it ULTRA BLURRING even though it's not. 😌👍🏽" 😅 They should've just marketed this powder to those with dry skin and minimal texture if they were happy with the result of this formula. That market exists. Seems like they were aiming for a "universal" powder formula that appealed to every concern, but weren't willing to make the effort to achieve it. Thanks for the ever thorough review! Keeping it real! 👏🏽
