The company has repackaged their Tinted Eye Brightener, to make it more user friendly.
Now, instead of a click pen, the formula comes in a lip gloss looking container, with a doe foot applicator. It looks like there's actually more product to in this container. This looks a lot like the new NARS concealers, but who's keeping track... hmm?
Like the color correctors, these come in shades of bisque and peach... from lightest to darkest. The colors that best suit my needs run in the peach family.
Light to Medium Peach is on the top, and Dark Peach is on the bottom. There is also a basic Peach shade offered on the website... which is a mix of these two colors.

When you apply these products, you're supposed to 'tap' them under the eye (never rub). Eventually, the the formula warms and spreads under the eye area, adding a bit of light without looking like you've used a ton of concealer.
Eventually I mixed the two colors to get the full effect:
The formula covers and adds light, but still allows the skin to show through. Put me down as a fan. You can find out more about Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brighteners HERE.

Hmmm....interesting. I like the shade so I am thinking of trying it out. It seems like a good one to try out.
ReplyDeleteI think they're good E. They're not as thick as the color corrector, but they do the job. Just remember to 'pat' it on. Don't rub. Otherwise you just end up moving the product all around and not really concealing or 'brightening' anything.
ReplyDeleteSo would you put this on top of a concealer or does this product function as the concealer?
ReplyDeleteThis product would function as the concealer.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like it brightens nicely, but I doubt it's opaque enough to really cover darkness. I guess it's worth a trip to the counter to look at in person.
ReplyDeleteThat's the trick to correctors and brighteners. They don't necessarily have to be thick, opaque or heavy to work. They change the way the light hits the skin, and draw the eye away from the imperfection. So the disappearing act is more about illusion, and less about heavy coverage.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try this, thanks4sharing :D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Sharon. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I might try this, i'm on the hunt for something good for my under eye area.. do you think this would be good for everyday use?
ReplyDeleteI think it would absolutely be perfect for everyday use. The formula is very light and comfortable.
