Smashbox Photo Op

Comments about Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener, .24 fl oz:

Don't expect this to be a heavy concealer. It is what it says it is, an under eye brightener. After applying an eye cream, just swipe this product using the soft brush cap applicator all around your eyes, under the eyebrows, too. Then blend it in gently with a fingertip. Some people said it is too thin in consistency. It would be thin if one is using it as a concealer. I love the light feel. Eyes look moisturized and bright without being sparkly.

I have very dark circles under my eyes (aka raccoon eyes, allergy shiners). For 40+ years, I have tried the most highly recommended treatments, concealers, and gimmicks to either conceal or remove my perpetually ill-looking dark circles with everything from abject failure to moderate success.

Recently, I read in O magazine yet another bit of advice that sent me on yet another quest to find a solution. This time, I found what really works for me. I don't guarantee results, but if you're as frustrated as I have been all these years, it might be worth a try.

I put three dots of Smashbox Photo Op under each eye and blend well. (Don't be surprised if this makes your dark circles look worse at first.) I let this set while I put on my foundation, which I do not put around my eyes.

Next, I place sufficient Revlon PhotoReady concealer over the dark areas to completely mask the discoloration and blend it lightly into the surrounding skin, paying special attention to the areas inside my eye near my nose and just above my cheek where it is darkest. (I use a concealer brush, but your finger will work, too.)

I set it with a light dusting of bareMinerals hydrating mineral veil. (A large eyeshadow brush works well for this.)

This combination of products completely masks the discoloration yet looks completely natural in all lighting situations and lasts longer than I do in all kinds of weather conditions. None of these products alone or paired works the way the three do together.

I've never had a problem with dark circles so I don't use concealer. I probably would not have tried this, but it came in a packaged set that I bought. Now I'm hooked! I have very fair skin, and this gives me just the right amount of brightening without looking obvious. I use it all over the eye area.

Overpriced, but it's a decent product.

I am so disappointed in this product. Even after shaking the tube, the product still goes on so thin and liquidy. I wouldn't pay $1 for this.

Like the product. Does an Ok job for concealing dark under eyes. But is there a product that really does it?

Best under eye cover-up I have used! I have been using this product to cover up my dark under eye circles for about 6 months. Friends ask me all the time what I am doing differently and say I look rested/awake. Great product!

Very good easy to apply

This is the best product I've found for covering dark circles under my eyes. It's a little bit hard to get it on evenly but once you do it lasts a long time and is very effective.
