Hello beauties. Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a great weekend and a not-so-bad Monday! Today I want to show you a very interesting product from Tarte Cosmetics hope you like it.
It is basically a double-ended priming serum and brightener for eyes. What you have to do is apply the priming serum first under your eyes to prepare for concealer then use the brightener side after your concealer to brighten up the under eye area.
I got this Tarte Tight & Bright Eye Perfector on Tarte's website, and I gotta say I was a little sceptical about it at first because I have never seen anything like this before but I'm so glad I got this because it works. Let me talk you though!
It is basically a double-ended priming serum and brightener for eyes. What you have to do is apply the priming serum first under your eyes to prepare for concealer then use the brightener side after your concealer to brighten up the under eye area.
The priming serum applies very smoothly and it feels a little silicony but nothing crazy which I like. It has teeny tiny light reflecting particles in there but once it's rubbed in you can't see anything. It supposed to smooth skin and diffuse the appearance of fine lines and dark circles before the concealer step. I found that this little priming serum really tightens my under eye area and it does smooth over the little line that I have but I don't know about the dark circle part because it does not have any coverage whatsoever so as far as cancelling dark circles I don't agree at all.
As for the brightening side, it is beyond lovely. It just does what it says, really makes my under eye are appear more radiant and brightened. It comes out yellow with some fine golden shimmers which explains the brightening effect that it gives. It is very light in texture and apply seamlessly. I use my beauty blender to pad this in but I guess fingers will do as well.
It contains 4.5ml (0.15 fl oz) of product each end. It's not a lot but for the price ($18 because it is on half-off at the moment) you just can't go wrong with it. Plus this product contains Maracuja Oil, Vitamin E, Chamomile Extract, Roseroot Extract, Cornflower Extract all that good skincare ingredients and it is formulated without Parabens, Mineral Oil, Phthalates, Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Synthetic Fragrances.
(Hope you can see that this product does smooths and brightens my under eye area but very natural looking which I adore!)
I can see myself repurchase this little wonder but I wish Tarte sells the brightener on its own to be honest. It just gives the most natural-looking and brightened under eye. I don't find it cakey nor creasing. Frankly I don't really care for the priming serum just because I use a face primer anyway and it just feels like an unnecessary step in my makeup routine but that being said it is pretty nice if you are looking for an eyes-only smoothing primer. By the way, you can use the priming serum on anywhere that you might have fine lines i.e. expression lines, crow's feet etc because it does make them appear less visible.
That's it guys, short and sweet. I hope this is somewhat helpful if you are thinking about buying it. Let me know how you like it if you do decide to get it. Thank you so much for reading and see you all next time
