At 32 years old, I’m worn out. My skin occasionally reflects the fact that I occasionally feel like I could lie down and have a brief nap for eight to ten hours. For the first time in my life, I’ve recently become aware of dark circles beneath my eyes, and I’ve spent the past several months looking for the most effective concealer. I’ve tried a variety of eye creams and well-known concealers, but nothing has quite captured my heart like the Olehenricksen Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Eye Stick (£32).
This fresh item is intended to lighten the area beneath the eyes and color-correct dark circles.Ole Henriksen, the company’s founder, tells POPSUGAR that the debut of the new Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Sticks has been in the works for a while and that they are thrilled to finally bring it to the public.
“We felt forced to enter the colour correcting market further with the introduction of the new Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Sticks since consumers continue to adore our Banana Bright+ Eye Crème for its many advantages, including immediate transformation and light color correction. Along with energizing the under-eye area with caffeine and preparing the skin for concealer application by utilizing light-reflecting banana bright pigments, the environmentally packed stick solution also makes touch-ups on the go a breeze.”
The Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Stick’s versatility was one of the factors that rapidly won me over. The lotion can be worn alone, under, or over makeup, according to the maker. It can also be coupled with the company’s Banana Bright+ Eye Crème to add more brightness under the eyes. It can be used as an all-over dark spot corrector on the face or body.
I’ve lately started having issues with dark circles, and I’ve discovered that on days when I don’t wear makeup, this product is the ideal addition to my routine because it instantly brightens my under-eye area. I use my finger or a moist cloth to mix the product after applying it directly on my skin.
On the days when I’m really lacking in sleep, I apply the product underneath concealer and it helps cancel out any darkness. It doesn’t make my concealer pill, and in my opinion, actually helps my makeup stay on my face longer — kind of like a primer.
Although I have gotten the most use out of this product for dark circles and underneath my eyes, I recently have had a few run-ins with, well, hickeys. (I guess that’s what happens when you’re 32 and back on the market for the first time in eight years.) I recently tested a bunch of concealers trying to find the best options for covering them up and actually learned that I could use these sticks to help colour-correct the area.
