How to Use

• 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.
