Secret Brightening Color Correcting Under Eye Setting Powder
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Color Correcting Under Eye Setting Powder is a finely milled, lightweight formula that blurs and brightens without creasing or drying. Professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose calls it "magic" for on-camera days, while several note it outperforms other powders on texture-prone under-eyes. It sets concealer in place with an airbrushed finish, though a few find it best for targeted use rather than all-over setting.
