6 experts · Strong agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Under-eye brightening is the detail these gurus keep coming back to, since the tint helps with dark circles and covers veins right away. The hydrating ingredients earn praise for smoothing fine lines and keeping the area moisturized without feeling greasy. However, the shade can run peachy for some, so a concealer on top may help, and those who don't need color correction may be fine with the face sunscreen they already use.
