Rare Beauty Under Eye Brightener | 4ml | Light

Product Information

And I'm not the only one who thinks a lot of them. "I personally love using under-eye brighteners, because I don’t feel that makeup should always focus on ‘concealing,’ says makeup artist Tilly Ferrari. "Instead, we can use the power of ‘balancing’ and ‘correcting’ to reduce how much product we use but also enhance the the results. Quite often, unless you have very smooth under eyes (which let's be real, can be uncommon as we’re all humans and our faces move), it can be difficult to carry all of the products marketed at the under eye area together."

I’ve diagnosed myself with ‘celebrity beauty brand fatigue’, and I doubt I’m the only one. Amidst all the questionable namesake brands, was Rare Beauty. There are so many different ways you can deal with dark circles, and you should choose what works based on your own skincare needs and advice from your dermatologist. In my case, I knew I wanted a simple solution. Enter Rare Beauty's under-eye brightener. Launched in December of 2022, the product has arguably become one of the buzziest beauty products of the moment, so I knew I had to try it out for myself and learn more about it. It feels like there’s not a day that goes by without a celebrity launching their own beauty brand. What once excited and intrigued me now has me mentally shouting, “why, God, why?”. It sounds dramatic, but when you realise that we live in a world with Robbie Williams launching a skincare line, you know something's gone awry (no shade to Rob). Wear on its own for a fresh, wide-awake look, or layer it over your go-to concealer (we recommend Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer) for an extra brightening effect.

I felt my Disney channel days were behind me when Wizards of Waverly Place first landed on our screens and somehow – partly because I never listen to music beyond 2008 – didn't know much about her music, too. Use Positive Light Under Eye Brightener on bare skin, or layer over concealer. Using the metal cool-tip applicator, apply 2-4 dots to your undereye area, then tap to blend using your fingertip or brush. Repeat as needed for desired coverage. From my conversation with Di Meo, I gleaned that choosing which type of product to test out to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation depends on what you want. If you wish to, for example, ensure that your foundation looks the same around your under-eye area as it does on other parts of your face, then you need a color correcter to mitigate discoloration. If you're interested in fully covering dark circles, shadows, and fine lines, you'll want to invest in an eye concealer. But if you're going for the whole no-makeup makeup look, then Rare Beauty's brightener will be right up your alley. This no-makeup makeup essential helps reduce the look of dark circles and discoloration for a visibly brighter, smoother, refreshed look. Tip: You can even apply it to the high points of your face (tops of cheekbones, brow bone, temples) as a natural highlight-think subtle brightness and glowy skin!

What led you to become a makeup artist? And what do you love about being a part of the Rare Beauty team?As time went on, I found myself actively looking forward to trying out their hero products and their new launches (not that Selena would care, obviously). It didn’t seem that it was just me experiencing a Rare Beauty renaissance, the products were suddenly all over my social media feeds. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation;

that is, or may reasonably be considered to be submitted in extreme volumes and as such be deemed as ‘spam’; I've struggled with periorbital hyperpigmentation for a while now and have been researching how to get rid of dark under-eye circles. Admittedly, when I began to wonder how to mitigate hyperpigmentation, I became flustered by the amount of information on the internet. Not only are there different theories about what causes dark circles (some studies say it's influenced by sleep, others say nutrition, and some say genetics are at play), but there are also so many suggestions for handling them that it can become overwhelming. Do I change my diet? Get a chemical peel? Buy a product? If it's the latter, how do I choose between a concealer, serum, cream, patch, or brighter?

The eye brightener is not a concealer, per se; it’s much less makeup-y and a bit more luminous. Featuring a semi-sheer tint with a subtle sheen, the formula could reasonably replace an under-eye concealer if a sheer wash of coverage is all you need, or if you’re going for a truly barefaced, fresh look. “You wouldn’t even know you are wearing anything,” says one shopper; “I am amazed.” Unlike other products, this brightener has a liquid formulation, so it's lightweight upon application, ensuring that it doesn't have that caked-on look—hallelujah! While it won't fully cover dark circles, it does provide hydration under the eyes, which reduces the appearance of discoloration. Even though that may seem like a con, don't be fooled. The nascency of this product allows it to be easily layered under or over a concealer without creating the appearance that you've used every product in your medicine cabinet. Plus, its formula allows for long-term reduction in hyperpigmentation, so instead of having to use concealer forever, you can combat some of the underlying issues.
