E.L.F. Cosmetics Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener ($6) is a new, affordable under-eye brightener that works to correct the appearance of dark circles while illuminating the under eye area. The formula is infused with squalane and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the eye area and it’s available in six shades. This released a few short weeks after NARS dropped their Light Reflecting Undereye Brightener.
I wear Tarte Shape Tape and I do feel that it leaves no room for correctors. It’s very creamy, very thick, and very pigmented. Wearing corrector under it is just a recipe for overkill in my opinion. Also, I don’t suffer from heavy duty dark circles under my eyes and don’t need much correcting. I use concealer under my eyes to conceal tiredness, puffiness, and finer lines but I don’t have really bad dark circles.
Oddly, I do like peachy color correctors though for more natural, fresher looks. Today I barely put makeup on and was using this as a concealer of sorts under my eyes. I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Vanish in Medium. It’s this really nice color correcting peach that brightens up my entire eye area. I don’t bother using anything under my eyes when I use it. Tarte’s Colored Clay CC Undereye Corrector and their new Shape Tape Corrector is kinda nifty too! But again, they aren’t items I use daily nor are they ones I use along with my concealer. These are for days I just want a more natural look.
I wasn’t really sure I needed to try E.L.F. Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener because I don’t really like glowy anything under my eyes. I feel like it puts a spotlight on imperfections under my eyes but I decided to add it to my little stash of correctors anyway as it was six bucks so why not?
