Brand note
Laura Mercier is a complexion-first brand known for setting powders that blur texture and keep makeup in place without emphasizing fine lines or dryness. The Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes is a standout — lightweight, silky, and designed to lock concealer without adding bulk or creasing. Across the line, formulas tend to be skin-like and forgiving, though some translucent powders can read slightly gray if over-applied.
