Details & care

What it is: A brightening powder that helps set your undereye concealer.

Who it's for: All skin types.

What it does: This lighter-than-air powder sets and prolongs the wear of concealer, camouflage and other undereye products. The transparent white powder has a brightening finish that instantly adds a lightening boost to the eye area with a touch of sheer coverage and works on any skin tone. Its micronized pigments won't settle into fine lines, accentuate shadows or look cakey, even in the tricky eye area where many setting powders are less than ideal.

How to use: Using a camouflage powder brush, pat over your makeup or onto lids. Do not drag the brush over your skin. Because the powder contains white pigment, don't use it on your entire face. Keep it to areas around your eyes to be lightened and brightened.

Not worth it

I have very dark undereye circles and was looking for a brightening setting powder to dust on after application of concealer. I tried this powder and compared it with ELF's white setting powder that is $6 for twice the amount. I saw no difference in texture, application, creasing, appearance, or wear throughout the day.

great, with reservations

Started using this products about 6 weeks ago. At first, I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread! I still love it, but with reservations. If you have slightly dry skin under your eyes, repeated use of this item will definitely exacerbate that problem. I've had to stop using it altogether for the last 2 weeks, and moisturize more than normal in that delicate area. Now I use it exceedingly sparingly, and only on weekends. Love the look but if your skin does get dry under the eye, this only highlights that issue.

Magic powder

This product is fantastic. It's incredibly subtle, you almost think it's completely translucent. I dust it over my eyes & the top of my cheeks for a healthy, realistic highlighting effect. It's not sparkly or even shimmery, more like a natural glow/illuminating effect. I'd recommend this to anyone

Secret Brightening Powder

This is a great product I have used it for years. Perfect for under the eye to set foundation or concealer. Not caking. Love it!

Not sure what it does

I gave this three stars because I am still not sure what this powder is for or what it does. Its a transparent powder that I use on my eyelids and face over makeup, and I use it to keep my eyeshadow in place. I don't see any difference at all. My eyeshadow tends to smudge, I bought this because I thought it would help set everything. It also doesn't do anything for my under-eye area in terms of brightening. I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about, because I just don't see it. I will not be wasting my money on this again. I had half a mind to return it, but its too late now, I don't have the receipt. A complete waste.

The Best

I have been using Secret Brightening Powder for years and do not want to be without it. Occasionally I succumb to clever advertising and try something new, but it's never the same. I believe the term is Holy Grail!
