Catrice’s Under Eye Brightener (On Sale) Erases Dark Circles: A Review


All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, StyleCaster may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Whether you have dark circles due to genetics or because you doom-scroll on TikTok far past your bedtime, there’s a multitude of color-correcting products that can save the day. But if you’re not down to shell out a bunch of money for one, Catrice’s Under Eye Brightener
(currently on sale for Prime Day!) gets the job done in a snap and for only $4.

The Under Eye Brightener from Catrice
($6 on Amazon) is packed with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate the skin. The formula offers medium coverage and goes on smoothly with fingers, a sponge, or a brush. It comes in a pink shade (010 Light Rose) and an orange shade (020 Warm Nude)—both of which neutralize your dark circles’ blue tones.

While you can certainly use this product on its own, many shoppers layer it underneath their regular concealer. Either way, you should instantly notice more wide-awake-looking eyes thanks to its ability to visibly balance out dark tones
and simultaneously provide skincare benefits. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, and excludes parabens, fragrance, phthalates, and microplastic particles.

My Honest Review of Catrice Under-Eye Brightener

Hi! Gina Vaynshteyn, senior commerce director, here. (Reporting for duty? Maybe?) I, like every person with eyeballs and thumbs, learned about Catrice Under Eye Brightener from TikTok. Influencers filmed themselves dabbing away their dark under-eye circles with something that resembled a mix between under-eye cream and concealer—which Catrice Under Eye Brightener basically is. I called in a product to test for work, and forgot about it…until I got pregnant and stopped sleeping more then three consecutive hours.

So, here I am, eight months pregnant and extremely tired. Below, you can see what I look like with absolutely no makeup whatsoever (I MUST be sleep-deprived enough to post a photo of myself looking so corpse-like on the internet). On the right is after a few dabs of the product under my eyes — no other makeup.

It takes about three seconds to apply, and I immediately noticed a difference. I looked wide-awake — as though I slept for the eight hours I’m used to sleeping. It also looked natural. I hate how so many under-eye concealers make it super obvious that you covered up dark circles or discoloration. The formulation blended in so seamlessly — no immediate cakeyness or creases. It’s also very, very breathable. I used a BeautyBlender to really make sure it was blended properly, but I think you can easily use your fingers, too. My shade is “010 Light Rose” which is a light shade with pink undertones.

And this is my face after applying all makeup (foundation, concealer to hide my hormonal acne, eye makeup, blush, a touch of lip gloss). I think the small bags (wrinkles?) under my eyes probably give away that I’m not longer a 20-something who gets to sleep in past noon, but I think I look an awful lot better. Or, more awake at least.

What the Internet Thinks

“I have dark circles under my eyes and nothing has worked until this. The texture is amazing and doesn’t get stuck in creases like concealer. I love this product,” one reviewer wrote.

“I have drier mature skin under my eyes. With a bit of dark circles. I have tried so many brands, high-end and drugstore. The others either were thin and moisturizing but didn’t last. Or thick and sticky and settled in my fine lines. This one is smooth, brightening, and lasts all day. It took a while to arrive but boy was it worth the wait,” another one commented.

“Love this product! I have dark circles under my eyes that I’ve had since I was a kid. I can never find anything to neutralize them but this works wonders,” another happy shopper raved. “No makeup days I wear this alone and then days where I wear a full face I put just a dab of concealer on top and it works great.”
