However, here we do not criticize RCMA’s design, still luxurious and high-class but difficult to open and close, the shape resembles a black pepper jar in the kitchen.
About the texture of RCMA and Laura Mercier powder products
The common point in texture between the two products is that there is not much difference, the same smoothness and no color, completely melts on the skin and covers evenly when used. The only difference is the whiteness of the two products, RCMA is pure white like baby powder while Laura Mercier’s powder color is similar to human skin so when applied it looks more natural. Overall, on this point the two products are not very different.
Coverage of two powder products RCMA and Laura Mercier
Regarding coverage, because the powder is colorless, both products do not have coverage on the skin but only help shrink pores and create makeup. However, Laura Mercier is a little better than RCMA because the powder makes the skin a little brighter and looks more radiant.
Regarding the finish of the two products, Laura Mercier gives a matte finish, creating a certain shine while RCMA only has a glossy finish but loses shine when applying foundation. So, when applying foundation to the face, Laura Mercier has better coverage than RCMA, but if you like a matte finish, RCMA is slightly better.
Grip and oil control ability of two powder products RCMA and Laura Mercier
Both products are high-end products so they stick to the skin very well and last for a long time, about 8 hours in an office environment, 4-5 hours in an outside environment. If you use more primer, the adhesion will be higher and last longer.
Regarding oil control, both of these products do not have this strength, but Laura Mercier is slightly better when controlling oil for 5-6 hours, while RCMA only has 4-5 hours.
Prices of two powder products RCMA and Laura Mercier
Perhaps in terms of price, the clear winner goes to the RCMA. I don’t understand why RCMA can’t beat Laura Mercier in this area when RCMA’s price is $12 and Laura Mercier’s is $38, which is 3 times higher than RCMA, not to mention RCMA’s capacity is three times higher than Laura Mercier (RCMA: 3oz). and Laura Mercier: 1oz)
Conclude
After considering the criteria, Laura Mercier is slightly better than RCMA, but the difference is not much. If you want a large volume that lasts for a long time, RCMA powder is a bit better. For gloss, you should choose Laura Mercier. In general, which product is better depends on each person’s feelings when using it, each person will have their own opinion about which product is better.
Above are reviews of two powder products RCMA and Laura Mercier. Hopefully the above article will help you understand more about these two products and choose the right powder for yourself.
