Laura Mercier Illuminating Powder is comprised of four different shades in one colour family that blend together perfectly onto the skin adding illumination and radiance to any skin tone.
Maybe I need to learn how to apply it better. The colors are beautiful on the palette but when they are on my cheeks, it comes out too strong. Its fine once i blend it down...and I TRY to use as little as possible!!

Amazing Color!

I recently purchased mocha spice. I am blonde and have blue eyes and needed a face color to brighten me up. I love the color. I use it all over and you can use it as a blush also. Definitely worth trying! :)
I have the Mocha Spice Quad and this is one product I will never be without. I love this as a blush, it gives my face a nice radiance without looking shimmery. It also works great as a bronzer. No orange tones at all. This is definitely a staple for me.
Blush was the last thing I had to purchase in Laura Mercier products to make the full tranformation. I have been replacing all my makeup with Laura Mercier products and I have never been happier. I went to my local Nordstrom and they didn't have the 2 blush colors I wanted in stock so I opted for this quad. The color looked great when applied at the store with a sweep of all colors and lasted really well. It should be great to use a few colors at a time to get some different looks. I'll also be testing some of the colors as shadow colors. I'll bet they would work like a dream.
Mocha Spice is a great bronzer for Fair to light skin. I searched and searched for a bronzer that wouldn't make me look orange and this is it! I apply this with a Bronzer Brush to my forehead, nose and chin. A little goes a long way.

Another of Laura's winners. I use this as a blush with her 'white-tipped' brush that I got in one of the brush sets. This puts color on very gently in comparison to the regular blush brush, which I like. Most days I like to swirl my brush into all the colors and then apply - and it is a soft, very natural looking blush - just perfect for day. I love that I can pick from among the 4 colors to pop a bit of color on the apple of my cheeks. This is great value for the money plus the colors are terrific for me - dark brown hair, dark eyes, medium skin tone.
This was recommended to me by the woman at the Neiman Marcus counter to use as blush. I like it because it combines the colors I often use into one palette.
