Do you use undereye primers/brighteners? For the longest time, they have been staples in my makeup routine! I’m not talking about the essence color correcting palette we all used to own (I’m pretty sure it’s still in my collection), which I used to genuinely love. No, I’m talking about undereye brighteners that also act as treatments and can be worn alone for daily, no-makeup makeup that’s really no-makeup makeup-y. And Pixi Beauty has just the thing.
The product in this review was kindly gifted to me by Pixi Beauty. However, they didn’t get paid for the article or was asked to write this. As always, these are my actual, honest thoughts. That’s what helps brands, you, and me!
+C Vit UnderEye Brightener – Pixi Beauty
£16.00 – 20,99€ | Cruelty-free | Vegan | 12 ml / 0.4 fl. oz
“This is all I need for under my eyes to look refreshed in an instant!” – Petra (source: Pixi Beauty)
First of all, Pixi Beauty‘s +C Vit UnderEye Brightener is a great base for under eye concealer and a refreshing treatment in a tube, that brightens and restores vibrancy. Its illuminating light orange pigments have some shine to it, and they give a really natural result in the area.
I love its nice applicator, which allows you to use just the right amount of product. And it also fits the area perfectly.
In terms of ingredients, this product counts with Vitamin-C (the brightening component), Caffeine (de-puffs & energises) and Ferulic Acid (provides an Antioxidant boost) as the main ones. All in all, I give it a good 4.5/5 stars, and you’ll see why now!
Test
I always try to give you not only an honest review, but also pictures showing before and after’s, wear tests… so, here they are! First, we have my eyes without and with the product, in that order.
As you can see, the right image (with Pixi’s +C Vit UnderEye Brightener) looks way more nourished and a bit color-corrected compared to the other eye:
I also wanted to show you the whole face.
- First picture: clean face.
- Central image: I’m wearing Pixi’s +C Vit UnderEye Brightener only in the left side.
- Last image: I’m wearing the same concealer all over my face with only the brightener on the left. And I wouldn’t need to tell you, because the results speak for themselves:
The difference honestly amazes me, because it’s a really light product, with not that much tint/pigment, but you can just apply it, blend it, and you’re ready to go!
Final Thoughts and Video Tutorial
Overall, the +C Vit UnderEye Brightener by Pixi Beauty is a standout product. It lasts a lot, the applicator is perfect to get exactly the amount of it that you need. If you’re in search of a depuffing brightener with a subtle tint, this could be your next go-to! Here’s how I apply it:
However, while this product excels as a brightener, if you’re specifically seeking a treatment-focused product, it may not be your best fit.
This is not a product for your night routine, which I think is what most people look for when it comes to this type of products. The results are really nice, but this product will tint your pillow if you use it before bed. Actually, if you’re looking for a treatment-only product, I love their Botanical Collagen EyeSerum. It’s SO good!
