Under-eye setting powder

    Hi all,

    I am looking for an under eye setting powder, pressed or loose, I'm not fussed which.

    I don't want something that will make my under area look dry, caked, crease my concealer or accentuate my lines (and there are plenty of those lines:()

    I know the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder is supposed to be the bomb but I am not willing to spend €42 euro on it. I'm reluctant on Charlotte Tilbury too as I have heard mixed reviews on her products so I'm hesitant on purchasing her stuff til I can see it for myself in person :o

    I want to spend no more than €20-€25 if possible. I will be ordering from Cult Beauty soon so if they had anything, it'd be even better, but if they don't, its no biggie, I can order the powder from elsewhere.

    Would really appreciate any help/suggestions as I am at a loss. I currently use the NARS light reflecting loose powder but don't find it helpful for under my eyes, grand for the face though :)

    Thanks a mil for any help received x

    I have an RCMA no colour powder that's meant to be as good as the Laura Mercier one, it's a quarter of the price and twice the size, I got it on the beauty bay.

    I also rate the KVD lock it setting powder, not especially for under eyes but it still works. It's under 30e and available in Debenham's.

    Nikki tutorial's uses a dermablend loose powder for under eyes which I think a this one in boots

    I am using NYE Banana and it is amazing. Also I tried Mehron setting powder and it is really great :)

    I second this - it's amazing. A cheaper alternative is the Bourjois Rice Powder, but it's a small bit sparkly

    My MUA recommend's this for brides for touch ups as an alternative to the Laura Mercier one!
