We all need a little help in the morning to look a little more awake once in a while. A magic wand in every makeup bag no matter how minimalist, a light cover up can work wonders. I am extremely fussy when it comes to my cover ups. I avoid anything too heavy which will age my under eyes more than help disguise them. The Rare Beauty Positive Light Under Eye Brightener caught my attention. With positive and brightener in its name I had high hopes.

From the inclusive packaging to the effective formulas it is well loved worldwide. The Positive Light Under Eye Brightener comes in a lightweight tube which is flat on one side. This is great is you like to organise your make up like I do as it lays beautifully and is also easier to grip. The applicator is what grabbed my attention. A metal cool tip applicator which promises to glide gently over the under eye whilst calming and soothing the skin. Available in six flex-to-fit shades, I picked up light/medium to share with you.

Before and After using the Rare Beauty Positive Light Under Eye Brightener:

Applied to left eye
Applied to both eyes

Creamy and silky smooth the Under Eye Brightener blends easily in seconds. A fluid consistency it feels comfortable and leaves a smooth and even finish. Instantly my eyes look brighter and healthier. I love that it doesn’t settle into fine lines even as I build coverage or crease. My skin appears more even with any redness or discolouration reduced which is fantastic, faking that extra hours sleep. I like to add a few dots at a time and build from sheer to more coverage depending on how much help my under eyes need.

The metal ball applicator feels relaxing and refreshes my eyes instantly. It picks up just enough of the brightener for an even application. A highly hydrating formula my skin feels firmer and smoother the more I use it. Long wearing once dry it doesn’t move and kept my eyes looking bright all day. On busy mornings this is all I use and it is fool proof, I can’t go wrong no matter how quickly I apply it. For those days I need more coverage I simply use on top of my concealer and love how well it layers with others. A great no makeup look essential I haven’t put it down!
