What is the best cream for eye bags?

We have two amazing eye creams available. When it comes to our under eyes we all love a brightened, smooth finish to give us that youthful fresh look. Your makeup only looks as good as your skin underneath so it’s important to look after it.

  • If you’re looking for a quick fix for your under eye MAC Fast Response Eye Cream does just that. Using its key ingredient of caffeine, just like your morning cup of coffee this awakens the under eye minimising puffiness and dark circles. Say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles, as this eye cream uses its special optical diffusers to diminish their appearance. The caffeine also works as an aid to rush blood to the under eye to banish those dark under circles. Use as part of your daily skin care routine as it’s perfect under makeup. Remember less is more, apply a small amount of the amazing MAC Studio Fix 24 Hour Concealer using a small gentle buffing or patting motion with the MAC 224 tapered blending brush (works great with eyeshadows too). If blue or purple tones are present under the eye, make sure you select MAC Studio Fix 24 Hour Concealer in a warmer tone to colour correct - refer to our NW tones.

  • If you’d like even more of a focus on brighting the under eye and would like this to be a long term effect, you need to try out our Lightful C range. Our Lightful C+ Coral Grass Vibrancy Eye Cream uses Vitamin C and Coral Grass to add radiance giving youre under eye a brightened effect. Pigmentation is a no show when using this eye cream or even the whole skincare range. Vitamin C works to normalise melanin production, which is essential to create that youthful glow and talk about the hydration! Of course Coral Grass has its benefits too! It works as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant to protect this delicate area from looking lifeless and dull. Whether a quick fix or long term helper both eye creams are amazing!
