I have very dark circles. It’s just what I look like, despite how much I sleep (aren’t I lucky?). On top of that, I have dry skin, so sometimes layering on concealer and powder only makes it look worse. A few months back, I heard about the Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector after finding a beauty blogger who also has really dark circles and she raved about it. So I dropped the $32 in hopes of miracles. The first few times I used it, it truly was a miracle product. It brightened up the skin so much, it was like my dark circles disappeared after putting concealer over it. I could also use less concealer and less powder, so it didn’t look caked on.

And then all of a sudden it just stopped working. It feels thicker and balls up underneath makeup, drawing your attention to what is now a patchy dark circle. It’s almost like it went bad or something, which is a little ridiculous given the price. I’ve used it with different concealers, different powders —and no powder— and I’ve used it over different eye creams. It’s always the same result.

Has anyone else had this experience? Or, do you have this product and love it? And any other recommendations for dark circles are more than welcome!
