ELF Mineral Eye Brightener

Eyes Lips Face aka ELF Cosmetics released a new item in their mineral line, the ELF Mineral Eye Brightener is a light weight, light attracting powder.  I was intrigued by this product - if it could in fact brighten the eye area for only $3.00, then I might just make this a permanent item in my collection.  I personally don't use eye brightening techniques because my face is pretty flat and I feel like I get plenty of light around my eyes.
Product description:

Perk up those tired eyes and diminish the appearance of dark shadows with the Eye Brightener. Infused with Chamomile, Green Tea, Mulberry and Vitamins C & E to nourish, tighten and refresh! Great for using as an eyeshadow base or around the nose, lips and anywhere you want to brighten and revitalize.

Directions: 

Using a small brush sweep over the powder and apply a small amount of the powder to the inner and outer corner of the eye to brighten and create an awakened look.

I have worn this eye brightener on top of a full face of makeup and on a bare face.  I really adore this eye brightener!  The powder is very light weight, and after blending it into the skin it looks like it just disappears, but once you begin moving your face in the light, you can definitely see the brightening effect.  Even on a bare face, this eye brightener looks very natural, it doesn't leave behind a powdery effect - it seems to just sink in and get to work.  It's pretty amazing, without shimmer or being too chalky, this eye brightener really does it's job.

I used a MAC 275 brush to apply and blend into the under eye area

I can honestly say that this product has turned me from a person who never touched an eye brightener to a person who uses it almost daily for a young and healthy glow.  I recommend this product to people looking to add a little glow to their complexion, mostly I love that you can wear it without any other makeup and it still looks natural - so all you anti-makeup people can enjoy this product as well!
