This is a transparent, weightless powder that comes in two shades: #1 for fair to medium skin tones and #2 for medium to deep skin tones. In this blog post, I will review this product based on its features, benefits, drawbacks, and how to use it. I will also answer some frequently asked questions about this product.

  • It is a finely pressed, transparent, weightless powder that sets under-eye concealer and blurs the look of fine lines.
  • It has a brightening finish that instantly adds a lightening boost to the eye area, with a touch of sheer coverage.
  • It is formulated with micronized pigments that won’t settle into fine lines, accentuate shadows, or cause flashback in photos.

  • It creates a soft-focus effect to instantly blur the look of fine lines and imperfections around the eyes.
  • It brightens the look of the under-eye area and enhances the eye makeup.
  • It is easy to apply and blend with a brush or a sponge.

Drawbacks

The Laura Mercier Under Eye Pressed Powder has the following drawbacks:

  • It is a bit pricey compared to other under-eye powders on the market. It costs $33 for 0.14 oz/ 4.2 g of product.
  • It may not be suitable for very dry or very oily skin types, as it may cause dryness or creasing.
  • It may not provide enough coverage for very dark circles or discoloration, as it is a sheer and transparent powder.

How to Use

The Laura Mercier Under Eye Pressed Powder can be used in the following way:

  • Apply your favorite under-eye concealer, camouflage, or corrector as usual.
  • Using the Camouflage Powder Brush or a sponge, pat the powder over the under-eye area. Do not drag the brush or the sponge over the skin.
  • Use a light hand and a small amount of product to avoid caking or over-powdering.
  • You can also use the powder on the eyelids to set your eye primer or eyeshadow.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about the Laura Mercier Under Eye Pressed Powder:

  • Q: What is the difference between the Secret Brightening Powder and the Secret Blurring Powder for Under Eyes?
  • A: The Secret Brightening Powder is a loose powder that has a radiant finish and a white pigment that adds a brightening effect to the eye area. The Secret Blurring Powder for Under Eyes is a pressed powder that has a matte finish and a skin-tone pigment that adds a blurring effect to the eye area. Both powders are designed to set under-eye products and prevent creasing.
  • Q: Can I use the powder on the entire face?
  • A: No, the powder is only meant to be used on the under-eye area and the eyelids. Because it contains white pigment, it may cause a white cast or flashback on the rest of the face.
  • Q: How do I choose the right shade for my skin tone?
  • A: The powder comes in two shades: #1 for fair to medium skin tones and #2 for medium to deep skin tones. You can choose the shade that matches your skin tone or go a shade lighter for a more brightening effect.
  • Q: Where can I buy the powder?
  • A: You can buy the powder from the official Laura Mercier website, Sephora, or other authorized retailers.

Conclusion

The Laura Mercier Under Eye Pressed Powder is a great product for setting your under-eye concealer, brightening your eye area, and blurring the look of fine lines. It is a transparent, weightless powder that has a brightening finish and a long-lasting formula. It is easy to apply and blend with a brush or a sponge. However, it is a bit pricey, and it may not be suitable for very dry or very oily skin types, or for very dark circles or discoloration. If you are looking for a product that can enhance your under-eye area and your eye makeup, you might want to give this powder a try.
