Feeling tired and want to hide some dark circles and look more awake? Mac's Prep & Prime highlighter will do the trick! These highlighters are designed to provide a “sheer wash of color to highlight, brighten, and perfect.” They come in a twist-up, pen-type applicator. Its best to apply these highlighters under concealer or foundation to give a subtle brighter look for under your eyes. You can even use them in other places you want to highlight such as on the cheeks or brow bone.
They come in three different colors:
Bright Forecast which is a mid-tone peachy coral. The peachy tones of this shade are good for brightening and lightening dark under eye circles without creating a green cast which yellow based correctors can cause. The 2nd color is Light Boost which is a soft yellow cream color. Yellow is good for lightening darkness. This would work well as a subtle cheek or brow highlighter on this with yellow undertones. The 3rd color they offer is Radiant Rose which is a light shell pink. Pink helps to brighten skin tone, especially to brighten the under eye area.
This Mac Prep & Prime highlighter is about $24 and can be bought at any Mac counter. It best to get try the colors on before purchasing to see which highlighter would be right for you and your skin tone. This a fabulous highlighter for anyone who wants to beat the dark circles so definitely try it out.
There's always a cheaper alternative!
I've tried the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer and I think it does come very close to Mac's Prep & Prime highlighter. It is a gel-based formula which diffuses light to provide on-the-spot perfection in just one touch. It illuminates as it conceals, gives you coverage over the dark circles and makes your under eyes look brighter. Its dermatologist, allergy tested and suitable for sensitive skin and for all skin types. It comes in 6 different shades, can be found at your local drugstore and costs about $8.
