ELF Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter is available from the ELF Cosmetics UK website for £3.50. It's available in three shades and, amazingly, I'm not the lightest!
The packaging is pretty neat for this. It's a double ended tube and you just unscrew the end you want to use. That keeps everything pretty clean. I hate gunky make up containers. Each end has a doe foot applicator.
I haven't really used the highlight side much. I just didn't get along with a liquid/cream eye highlight, plus it was too sparkly and obvious for my cheek highlight. There's a little bit of sparkle in this, not outright glitter, but definite sparkle.
The concealer side is the one that really makes this product worth picking up.
It's quite thin in texture, so you need to be careful not to apply too much. I scrape off most of the concealer as I rake the applicator out of the tube, then dot it under my eye. I then use a fluffy blending brush to blend it into my skin and set it with the yellow part of Complexion Perfection. This does a really good job of getting rid of my dark under eye circles.
It will depend on the colour of your under eye circles though. Mine are blue/purple and the slight salmon/peach tone to this concealer works well to counteract those. If yours are slightly more green toned then you need a pinker concealer.
I haven't noticed any settling into lines, but that may be due to the fact I set it with the Complexion Perfection. It may settle if you don't set it due to the thin texture. It lasts pretty well throughout the day, but rubs off on the very inner corners of my eyes. I am a glasses wearer though, so that's just something I have to live with.
The product was provided free for tutorial/review purposes.
