So, What Is the Secret Brightening Powder?

Let’s take it back for a sec. 15 years ago, Laura created Secret Brightening Powder—a lightweight, silky-smooth setting powder made just for the under-eye. It instantly became a backstage hero: locking in concealer, preventing creasing, and brightening shadows without ever settling into fine lines.

Today, that same bestselling formula gets a glow-up—with five thoughtfully curated shades infused with light-reflecting pearls, peachy-pink pigments, and skin-soothing ingredients like Vitamin E. It’s everything you loved about the original, now more personalized than ever.

Why It's Different (In the Best Way)

You already know Laura Mercier doesn’t do “just another setting powder.” This formula is:

  • Ultra-Fine & Imperceptible: The micronized pigments feel like air, but smooth like silk. No caking. No flashback.
  • Brightening + Color Correcting: Calibrated peach and pink pigments neutralize blue, purple, and gray tones to lift and lighten shadows.
  • Concealer's BFF: It sets, extends, and perfects your under-eye concealer without settling or fading.

Meet the (Four) New Shades

All five shades are wearable across a wide range of skin tones and under-eye concerns—so you can mix, match, and layer for a totally custom effect.

  • Soft Pink – For fair to light skin tones with cool undertones. Brightens and lifts dullness without looking chalky.

  • Peach – Designed for light-medium to medium skin tones. Perfect for canceling bluish-purple shadows.

  • Golden – A soft, golden-toned peach that flatters medium to tan skin tones. Brightens and corrects discoloration.

  • Rich Peach – The deepest hue in the collection, made to neutralize darker under-eye circles on deep skin tones.

These shades aren’t strict rules—they stretch across skin tones depending on how much brightness or correction you want.

How to Use It Like a Pro

You only need a touch to work magic. Here's your quick-step guide:

  1. Apply your favorite concealer as usual (hello, Real Flawless Concealer).

  2. Dip a small fluffy brush (use the Secret Brightening Powder Brush) into your chosen Secret Brightening Powder shade.

  3. Tap off excess, then gently press under the eyes, focusing on areas with darkness or creasing potential.

  4. Admire the lift—your under-eye is set, smooth, and seriously brightened.
