Prepare for YOUR photo op with Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener.
***Quick View:*** Smashbox products have disappointed me often but have also surprised me with their quality at times. **Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener** as disappointing to me at first until I realized it wasn't a concealer alone. It is more of a primer for concealer that lightens and brightens the eye area as well as hydrates it.***About Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener***The little tube has a brush applicator and the product is lightly tinted It has light reflecting particles that brighten the eye area and moisturizing ingredients to soften lines and nurture the eye area.When I first tried** Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener,** I was totally disappointed in it. It didn't conceal my dark circles well at all although it did brighten the area and hydrate it. It was after I read that it should be used as a concealer primer that I really understood the concept. This lightweight formula is almost like a tinted cream but it has brighteners that deflect shadows. It fills in little lines and wrinkles and preps the eye area for actual concealer. When I use **Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener **before I apply my usual concealer, my eyes look brighter and my circles look much less noticeable. My concealer stays on longer too. As a plus, I have found that **Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener** is a good eye shadow primer or an eye shadow on its own with its light tint and pretty reflective qualities.***My Viewpoint***Some people can get away with using just** Smashbox Photo Op Eye Brightener** as an under eye concealer but not me. I have deep inherited circles that even the best of concealers have trouble hiding. Using this product as a primer before concealer (as instructed) gives me better results than when I use concealer alone. It's a bit pricey but you need just the smallest amount under and around each eye for results. I like it. 4 stars.
