  3. Yisell, can I ask if the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder has some shimmery particles in it? I want to order it but in my country I can not try it before. Thank you!

  4. Yes the brightening powder does contain some slight shimmer content but it's what makes the product show up beautifully in photos. A little goes a long way and I promise you that it will never show up as glitter in photos (unless of course you over do it). I use it mostly dusted under eyes after concealer is applied.

    1. Thank you for your reply. If it is not glittery in photos then it is wonderful. :)
