Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under-Eye Setting Powder — Soft Pink, peach & pink pigments for brightening and crease-free wear

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under-Eye Setting Powder is a featherlight, silky setting powder with peach and pink pigments plus light-reflecting pearls to brighten, color-correct, and lock concealer in place around the eyes.

This weightless powder is formulated specifically for the delicate under-eye area to reduce the appearance of darkness, blur fine lines, and extend the wear of concealer without settling or creasing. Combining finely milled, micronized pigments with calibrated peach and pink tones, it subtly neutralizes blue and gray undertones while adding a soft radiant finish that suits a wide range of skin tones. The soft pink shade is designed to lift and illuminate tired-looking under-eyes while remaining invisible and non-cakey on skin.

How does this powder brighten without looking chalky?

The formula uses light-reflecting micronized pigments and pearlized particles that diffuse shadow rather than simply lightening skin. Because the powders are ultra-fine and imperceptible, they blend seamlessly with concealer and skin, creating a lifted, soft-focus effect without obvious chalk or flashback.

• Micronized pigments scatter light to soften under-eye shadow.
• Peach and pink pigments counteract blue-gray discoloration.
• Ultra-fine texture prevents a powdery or cakey finish.

Will it keep concealer crease-free all day?

Yes—this powder is engineered to set concealer with a weightless finish that resists settling into fine lines. It creates a smooth, matte-satin surface that helps concealer adhere evenly and maintain a fresh appearance from morning through evening.

• Locks concealer in place to reduce creasing and movement.
• Formulated to resist buildup or emphasizing texture.
• Works best when gently patted with a small, soft brush focused on the under-eye area.

How should I apply it for natural-looking results?

Use a small, dense brush—Laura Mercier recommends the Secret Brightening Powder Brush—to softly press the powder over concealed areas. Apply sparingly: a light patting motion sets makeup without adding noticeable coverage, and focusing only where needed preserves the skin’s natural radiance.

• Apply after concealer has been blended but is still slightly tacky.
• Tap excess from the brush and press powder into the under-eye, not sweep.
• Limit use to the orbital bone and inner corners to avoid over-brightening.

Does the shade work on different skin tones?

The peach and soft pink pigments are calibrated to neutralize common under-eye hues across many skin tones rather than deposit obvious color. The designer pigments blend with the skin and work with concealer to balance blue, purple, or gray discoloration while maintaining a natural, luminous finish.

• Peach pigments neutralize blue/gray shadows on medium to dark tones.
• Soft pinks lift and add subtle radiance on fair to light-medium skin.
• Sheer, translucent coverage avoids masking natural skin color.

Who is this for: This Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under-Eye Setting Powder is ideal for anyone who wants longer-lasting concealer, a smoother under-eye finish, and a subtle brightening effect without heavy coverage. It's particularly useful for those with visible under-eye shadow or fine lines who prefer a lightweight, natural-looking setting powder specifically formulated for the eye area.
