My Favorite Under Eye Products

Whether I’m trying to fake a few more hours of sleep or simply want to conceal dark circles, under-eye makeup can make a world of difference. I’ve tried a variety of options ranging from drugstore to luxury-brand products – in hopes of tracking down the ones that actually deliver. With that said, I’m rounding up my tried-and-true favorites that keep my under-eye area fresh, brightened, and smooth all day long.

1. Catrice Under Eye Brightener “Light Rose” | Buy at AMAZON.
One of my most-used products (& a current favorite!) is the Catrice “Light Rose” Under Eye Brightener. The nourishing formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid and shea butter that was specially developed for the delicate under-eye area. The pink hue helps to balance out bluish tones from under-eye shadows and dark circles. If the Light Rose shade is too light, there are 3 darker shades that include: Warm Nude, Golden Toffee & Dark Mocha.

2. Tarte Creamy Shape Tape Concealer | Buy at TARTE (Save 15% off with code: ALLINTHEBLUSH)
Despite my undying love for Tarte’s OG Shape Tape, I actually prefer using the Creamy Shape Tape for concealing under eye circles. Formulated with a built-in EYE CREAM (yes, you heard that right!) Tarte’s Creamy Shape Tape Concealer uses cushion tape™ technology to cover dark circles and smooth fine lines, wrinkles & pores. For EXTRA smoothness, I recommend setting the concealer with Tarte’s Creaseless Setting Powder which I will go into more detail below! 🙂

3. Tarte “Pink” Creaseless Setting & Brightening Powder | Buy at TARTE (Save 15% off with code: ALLINTHEBLUSH)
Tarte’s Creaseless Setting Powder went TikTok viral almost instantly, and if you have tried it then I’m sure you too understand the hype! This best-selling Brightening Powder leaves skin smooth & camera-ready, locking in your look for up to 16 hours. Of the 10 available shades, I have been using shade, “Pink”, for fair to tan skin tones.

4. OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Vitamin CC Stick | Buy at ULTA.
I have been using the Olehenriksen Banana Bright products for years and will probably never stop! The Vitamin CC Stick both hydrates and corrects discoloration in the under-eye area. Depending on how much time I have for makeup, sometimes I just wear use this with the eye cream & head out for my day!

5. OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright+ Vitamin C Eye Crème | Buy at ULTA.
I feel I don’t even need to explain how good this eye cream is because most people feel the same way! I have been using the Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème for many years and it never gets any easier when I pan another bottle of it!
