Laura Mercier Translucent Powder vs. Fenty Powder

I have been using the LM translucent setting powder for years! Recently tried the Huda Beauty baking powder and it broke me out really badly. Would anyone recommend the Fenty Powder, over the Laura Mercier?

@xshaiynu I've used both powders for setting my under eye concealer. I have dry skin, so I always go light with the powder. I think they are both very good, so I don't think you can go wrong with either one, but I find the Laura Mercier to be drier than the Fenty powder. I also like that the Fenty powder comes in more colors.

@sephoraaddict918 thank you so much for this! I myself have dry skin and especially dry undereyes, stuck to the Laura Mercier for so many years because of a comfort thing. Definitely was looking into the Fenty because of their colour range as well! Does the Fenty powder have any irritants or fragrance in it?

@xshaiynu The Fenty powder does list fragrance in the ingredients list, but I haven't noticed any strong scent when I've used it. I've used a sample I received in an order, and I recently bought the full size and have been using that. I also haven't experienced any irritation. I don't know if that is because I use very little powder.
