e.l.f. Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener - 0.14oz

I love this for everyday easy to blend and especially for no makeup makeup looks

I was hoping that this product would be similar to the Becca undereye brightener (RIP) or---for those of you who are GenX or older---the Ultima 2 undereye brightener (the goat, the absolute best, to this very day nothing compares). Let's talk about the pros first: the product warms up and emulsifies nicely if you use your fingers to grab it and then rub it between your fingers (it's a stuffer, thicker texture; gotta warm it up), it does offer prime color correction---I used the fair shade on my undereye area, and it did an *incredible* job of canceling out my dark circles (thank you, Serbian genetics!), and you get a good amount for what you pay. As far as pros...that's about it. Now for the cons: I mentioned the product emulsifies nicely between your fingers. It does. However, this product did NOT blend out easily...or really at all. It was so strange. I used my fingers, a sponge, and a brush. The best application WAS with my fingers, gently tapping it under my eyes---the warmth and oils from my fingers obviously helped. Sponge application was absolutely awful, and I tried both a damp as well as a dry sponge (product just stuck to the sponge; damp worked slightly better). Brush application was so-so; used a small synthetic brush. Was patchy and really hard to move the product around. At first grab, the product feels emollient, but that gets lost in translation. Once you start applying, the product seems to stiffen back up, which is so odd. Another thing that was odd was even though the product never seemed to soften up, it stayed kind of stiff, it STILL collected in my creases after a couple hours! Tried my best to tap out the creases when this happened, but the product just stayed kind of bunchy and chunky. Before applying, I made sure my skin was properly cleansed, exfoliated, and moisturized/prepped. I tried using some different skincare products than usual and less than what I normally apply (my skin is 'combination'---undereye gets a bit dry). I just COULD NOT get this product to work for me. Definitely avoid if you have dry undereyes. Don't apply with anything but your fingers. The less you pick up, the better it'll apply. Don't manipulate it TOO much or for TOO long ir you're going to have problems. Honestly, if you're in need of brightening and/or color correcting, I'd say go with elf's color corrector in a tube and mix some with their Hydrating Camo Concealer. THAT is a winning combo.

Not much is needed for covering my dark circles. It lasts all day and if I did want to touch up, it's super easy to add a few dabs.

Going to buy this color corrector because someone told me it’s a dupe for Nars colour corrector so why not save money

elf sent me as a gift. it really brightens eyes, definetely buy this product

Blends really well with my skin. It doesn't look pink it kinda acts like a primer

This product is amazing for covering up dark circles. I would recommend using a setting spray and/or powder after application, as it can sweat away throughout the day.

works really well as a lightweight concealer on its own or as a base under concealer

It has a very good texture, I like it. It has a very good texture, I like it.

I really like it, it has good coverage and is not too smooth.

Absolutely love. I’ve been having trouble hiding my bags under my eyes and this definitely helped!

This is the best at hiding light discoloration on fair skin. It has a light pink color to it that brightens the under eye area.

Bought this for 1st time and love it. Got multiple compliments

This stuff works so good my coworkers have started asking me if I’ve been getting more sleep. Consistency is nice, doesn’t get crease-y. I apply it with a small eyeshadow brush and then blend with my finger.

I’ve been trying to make this work for two days straight. I have the shade Light/Medium, as the fair/pink shade was sold out but I usually

This is a little oily for an already oily face. Has a greasy feel to it. In the summer my face already gets sticky and this doesn't help the problem much. Not going to repurchase.

It is too dewy to provide actual coverage. After adding actual concealer and powder it is a mess. Bought this. Asked on reviews and was disappointed

I was looking for a brightener for my concealer & this is it! I was really skeptical about it but it pairs soooo well with the hydrating concealer halo glow loose powder! It’s truely radiant under the eyes. I only put it were there is shadow darkness Undereye don’t use it like concealer because it will crease badly. Be mindful of how much you use.

A very good product. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Highly recommend
