Wide awake

Makes me look awake and refreshed and hides dark circles! I wish it was a bit cheaper, but it was worth the money.

Really Like
-05.01.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I purchased this a few weeks ago. I really like it - its natural looking and gives a unique brightness.
I first put on my tinted moisturizer then i dab this under the eye and gently tap till blended. I use a powder lightly over this and my face for setting the makeup!

pointless

Quick Take: sheer coverage, ineffective
Definitely not worth more then $5! It does nothing at all, no brightening, no coverage, nothing.

Love it!
-03.27.13
I absolutely love this stuff, for my very severe dark circles I use the smashbox full coverage camera ready concealer, some powder and then this on top and it does wonders to brighten up my eyes. Wearing this alone still looks good but for how dark my circles are (hereditary, have always had them) it doesn't quite offer all the coverage I need. For those with mild dark circles I'm sure this is all they would need!

I love this because it not only covers undereye circles but brightens the eyes and makes you look more aware. super light but covers well, at least for me

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I love this product and use it nearly everyday. I don't have really bad dark under eyes and this picks helps just enough. It has a little sparkle to it which is pretty.

Not for dark under eyes
-03.13.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I loved the idea of this product but I'm cursed with very dark under eye circles and this product was way too light to help much and got creased easily.

WOW
-03.09.13
Quick Take: fantastic!
I dislike wearing concealer under my eyes because it always ends up creasing. I was hesitant to try this but it was a great buy, it makes your eyes look alive. It has the right amount of shimmer and does not make you look over done.

nice highlighter
-03.02.13
This is a very sheer highlighter--you need a lot mixed with concealer to get that glowy highlighted look. Not sure I would buy it again because of the price--it's a great color but you need to keep layering it on-good, not amazing

Great translucent under eye coverage!
-02.14.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I love this concealer because its extra light weight, but somehow neutralizes my under eye imperfections. It also brightens, which makes my eyes look fresh and awake. I'd recommend this concealer to woman who are looking for natural to light weight under eye coverage.
FYI-Don't order this product if you are looking for a heavy concealer.

High expectations - not met
-02.05.13
It's average, but I have yet to find a concealer that really works without causing lines to appear - even when set with a light brush of powder.

like it
-02.05.13
i like this product, but i am not certain that i will be purchasing it again specially since i bought the sculpting disk. i like how it highlights the under eye area and upper cheek and how light it feels on my skin, but it is a little runny.

this product is very runny and too lightweight to cover any sort of dark circles but works nicely as a highlight
