Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder Reviews

Nice but not for all Skin Tones
This product is a good idea and it does brighten the eye area - maybe too much. If you have medium, olive, dark or even light olive skin this powder can be a bit too light around the eyes. In a bright or natural sunlight setting it looks obvious and artificial. It has too much white pigment in it. No one wants the reverse raccoon eyes look. If your eye shadow or liner colors are dark this product will intensify the darkness and give a very gothic, almost creepy look. I'd recommend this product for very fair and fair skin as it would work well for them. — 1 year, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not My Favorite
There are a few products from this line I LOVE but not this one-suprisng to me considering the favorable reviews. It was a little too light and did not seem to do much in terms of look or setting make up. I was not even sure how much I needed as it did not seem to matter how much I put on-it stlll did not seem to do much. It had a nice feel but that is not enought-especially for the money. I really worked with it but am over it now. Dissapointing. — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

contouring powder
I use this as a contour powder... it can brighten up a look if done properly... it's really light weight and doesn't take much... I wouldn't use this powder all over the face... I use a little above my cheek area and around my eyes the middle of my nose a little on my forehead and my chin looks amazing and flawless... — 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

great for setting eye makeup
I used to apply press powder or 2 way-cake on my eyes but it was too heavy and fine lines appeared. Chanced this product while i was shopping, have been using it for 1 year plus and its really good for setting eye-makeup and helped to brightened my eyes. I applied this after my concealer. — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Nope..
This did absolutely nothing to me. If anything it made my concealer worse. It had an odd texture and left my concealer awkward and noticeable. — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

One way to avoid the mess ...
If you only pull back the seal sticker to expose 2-3 holes then it is not such a mess. You can tap out what you need into the cap. I tried this for several days and looked in the mirror several times a day to see if this product was making a difference... nothing. Returned it. — 3 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I love this!
I was surprised that this didn't get a higher rating. The powder is so fine you can't see it on your face. I switched to this from BE Mineral Veil because I thought it was much better. — 4 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Great product used sparingly
I use this under my eyes to set concealer, under eye liners/shadows, etc. You don't need much -- a lighter hand is the key. In the course of a day, everything I put under my eyes seemed to "bleed" and I develop raccoon eyes. Secret Brightening Powder prevents that from happening. Only thing I don't like is the container . . . I travel and when I open the container at my destination (after the suitcase had probably been turned and tossed upside down in transit), much of the product had come out of the shaker lid (and I had to spend time trying to push the product back through the holes into the container). Needs some sort of stopper to keep excess product from coming through the shaker holes. — 4 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Laura Mercer Secret
The secret is "out" cause this is one of the greatest products I have found for me. Not too expensive compared to others and it does a bang up job. — 4 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A little goes a long way!
After having seen Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder touted all over the place, I decided to try it for myself. I got it in shade 2, which is supposedly best for medium to dark skintones. It still looks like an almost white translucent powder to me, which has a bit of luminescence to it. I applied my normal concealer first, then dusted a tiny bit of Secret Brightening Powder over it. Well, it works. It definitely brightens the look of dark undereye circle. This isn't really a concealer - it's just used to add some luminescence, which makes the skin appear lighter. I also have applied this over YSL Touche Eclat and it works wonders on a casual day, when I don't want to wear concealer or heavy foundation. Remember to be very light on your application - if you apply too much, you'll wind up with the reverse-raccoon look! — 4 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
