   Excellent Concealer, you just have to apply it correctly
   This $6 under-eye brightener/concealer works just as well as similar products that are 5 times the price. It’s silky & smooth, and gives a very soft glow when it’s applied properly. The trick is knowing how to apply it. The most common mistake people make is using too much product at once – it will end up a cakey, flaky mess. You need way less than you think you do.Because it’s so reasonably priced, I bought two of these; this one (Rose), and the next color up (warm nude). For reference, my skin tone is light with neutral undertones.I’ve been using the following makeup application technique for about 2 years now, and it works every time. Make sure your skin is very well moisturized and/or primed before you start:1. Begin with a brush or makeup sponge, not your fingers. For this product, I use a small concealer brush or an angled makeup sponge (the type with the point to get into corners. You can get one for under $10).2. Swipe the brush lightly over the product, using both sides of the brush. Or, wet your sponge, squeeze really well, & swipe the corner over the product.3. Next, dab your brush or sponge a few times onto the back of your hand to remove excess product. This is called ‘priming’ your makeup & it’s a game-changer – seriously.4. Very lightly dab your brush or sponge along your under-eyes, and into the corners if your black circles extend that far, like mine do. Keep dabbing very gently until the concealer is fully absorbed. Now stop & take a look. Happy with the coverage? Need a bit more? Pick up more of the product from the back of your HAND. Yes, there’s plenty! I promise :).5. For my skin, I like to use this rose color first, let it sit for a minute or so, then I add a layer of the warm nude, using the same technique.Use this exact technique with all your makeup – anything tinted (moisturizer, sunscreen etc), foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, highlighter, blush & bronzer, even your lipstick if you want 🙂 – and your makeup will look flawless. For products in a tube or pump bottle, put a very small amount onto the back of your hand, then prime with your application tool of choice.With foundation in particular, always, always use less than you think you need, and use the priming method every time. Keep repeating the process until you have layered enough to give the coverage you’re looking for. If you’ve done it correctly, the layers are extremely light and therefore actually sink into your skin, as opposed to sitting on top of it. When makeup sits ON your skin, that’s when the dreaded caking & pilling starts 😐. Giving each light layer a minute or so to settle before adding the next one will add a few minutes to your routine, that’s true. But the results will absolutely be worth it.Lastly, if you need your makeup to stay put all day and into the evening, finish with a setting spray. There are plenty on the market but do your research because some of them are just repackaged hair spray 😒. I’ve made that mistake and turned my face into a sticky mess that attracted lint 🤦🏻‍♀️. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve read that the RMS Beauty Radiance Lock setting mist is excellent – not sticky at all, and moisturizing as well.Oh, and if you like to finish your face with a powder, prime that well also. Then gently apply to your face using a very light tapping motion.Yikes, long review! I hope this info helps a bit.

   Really like this product for mature skin.
   With mature skin it is hard to find something that does not sit in fine lines under the eyes. This product brightens while making that area appear as smooth as it can. It doesn’t add age, it takes it away. It is the right color for me, it is simple to apply with either a brush or a sponge, gives lite coverage that is effective, and when set wit powder does not have a single bit of runniness or stickiness.Definitely worth a try.

   Very effective!
   When I first received this product, I was honestly a bit confused. It didn’t come in a box and had no directions, so at first I thought it might be some kind of eye mask. I ended up having to look the product up again to understand how it’s supposed to be used. For clarity: this is not a mask — it’s meant to be applied under the eyes in the morning, either with your finger or a brush, and then you put your makeup on over it.Once I understood how to use it, I was pleasantly surprised. The texture is very smooth and easy to apply. The instructions recommend applying it in thin layers, which I did, and that definitely helped with blending. I was worried it might clump or cake, but it does neither, which I really love.In terms of performance, it actually does a great job of covering and brightening dark circles. I struggle with under-eye darkness from lack of sleep (night owl problems), and this made my under-eye area look noticeably brighter and more awake. It feels similar to having concealer on — it does start out a little sticky, but it doesn’t stay that way for long and dries at a medium speed.The smell isn’t great — it just smells like makeup — and the product itself is pretty small for the price, which is worth mentioning. That said, you don’t need much product, and I don’t wear makeup daily, so I feel like this will last me a while.Overall, this has become a must-have for me when I’m doing my makeup and want to look my best. It’s effective, blends great with my skin (I have a lighter complexion), gives good coverage, and really helps with dark circles. My biggest complaint is the lack of packaging and directions, which caused unnecessary confusion at first.Bottom line: very effective eye-brightening product with great coverage and smooth application. I’d easily give this 4 stars, and I’ll definitely be buying it again when I run out — I just wish it came with clearer instructions.

   Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass dieses kleine Töpfchen so einen Unterschied macht! Der Catrice Under Eye Brightener in 010 Nude ist mittlerweile fester Bestandteil meiner täglichen Routine – gerade als Mama mit wenig Schlaf. 😅Die Textur ist cremig, aber nicht fettig, lässt sich super leicht mit den Fingern oder einem Pinsel auftragen und verschmilzt sanft mit der Haut. Die leichte rosa-nude Farbe mit einem dezenten Schimmer hellt die Augenpartie sofort auf – ohne dabei unnatürlich oder glitzernd zu wirken.Besonders toll finde ich, dass das Produkt vegan, parfumfrei und ohne Alkohol oder Parabene ist. Es reizt meine empfindliche Haut kein bisschen und fühlt sich sogar pflegend an.Ich nutze ihn solo an „No-Makeup“-Tagen oder als Base unter dem Concealer – in beiden Fällen wirkt mein Blick sofort wacher und frischer. Und das, ohne Maskeneffekt!Fazit: Für mich ein echter Geheimtipp aus der Drogerie – bezahlbar, hautfreundlich und mit sichtbarem Soforteffekt. Ich werde ihn auf jeden Fall nachkaufen!
