Mineral Eye Brightener

I was thinking of spending $20 on the Bare Essentials eye brightening powder after hearing about it from Emily Noel on YouTube, but I found this one while browsing Eyeslipsface.com and I thought, "Why not try the $3 product first?!" I purchased it along with the E.L.F. Mineral Blending Brush and they work wonders together! I first use the E.L.F. Corrective Concealer (Pink) applied with my fingers under my eyes, then I use my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser in Light/Fair (I do the triangle trick), and then I blend my Revlon Colorstay with my E.L.F. Stippling Brush over the triangle area lightly. FINALLY, I use my E.L.F. Mineral Blending Brush to swirl the E.L.F. Mineral Eye Brightener over ONLY the triangle area! I have finally found my perfect under eye concealing method after trial/error for the last few years! Thank you E.L.F. :)

Eyes Lips Face aka ELF Cosmetics released a new item in their mineral line, the ELF Mineral Eye Brightener is a light weight, light attracting powder. I was intrigued by this product - if it could in fact brighten the eye area for only $3.00, then I might just make this a permanent item in my collection. I personally don't use eye brightening techniques because my face is pretty flat and I feel like I get plenty of light around my eyes. I have worn this eye brightener on top of a full face of makeup and on a bare face. I really adore this eye brightener! The powder is very light weight, and after blending it into the skin it looks like it just disappears, but once you begin moving your face in the light, you can definitely see the brightening effect. Even on a bare face, this eye brightener looks very natural, it doesn't leave behind a powdery effect - it seems to just sink in and get to work. It's pretty amazing, without shimmer or being too chalky, this eye brightener really does it's job. I used a MAC 275 brush to apply and blend into the under eye area I can honestly say that this product has turned me from a person who never touched an eye brightener to a person who uses it almost daily for a young and healthy glow. I recommend this product to people looking to add a little glow to their complexion, mostly I love that you can wear it without any other makeup and it still looks natural - so all you anti-makeup people can enjoy this product as well!
