HOW TO MAKE EYES LOOK BIGGER AND BRIGHTER

  1. Eye serum in a white-coloured tube with geometric patterns on the front in a reflective, silver colour with a metal applicator.

    STEP 1: DEPUFF THE LOOK OF THE EYE AREA WITH CRYO-RECOVERY EYE SERUM

    Charlotte’s Cryo-Recovery Eye Serum is the perfect place to start when looking to create the appearance of a brighter-looking eye area. The energising formula helps to awaken tired-looking eyes, invigorating the eye area with the cooling powers of ICEAWAKE™* and stimulating caffeine. Gliding under the eyes with its cooling metal applicator, the serum depuffs the look of the eye area so that eyes seem brighter and more awake. It’s like an ALARM CLOCK for your eyes!

  2. A petite, open glass jar with a dark champagne-coloured eye cream.

    STEP 2: HYDRATE, SMOOTH AND BRIGHTEN UNDER THE EYES WITH CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC EYE RESCUE

    Next, enter Charlotte’s MAGIC SKIN UNIVERSE and apply Charlotte’s Magic Eye Rescue under the eyes. The nourishing eye cream is formulated with Botanical Eye Contour Complex that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eye area. On its rescue mission, this MAGIC formula helps your eye area to appear BRIGHTER and MORE AWAKE, leaving them feeling smoother and more hydrated, too. When used daily over an 8-week period, Magic Eye Rescue helped dark circles appear reduced by 68% and puffiness appears reduced by 79%**.

  3. Radiant concealer in a glass tube with its doe-foot applicator next to it with a gold-coloured handle.

    STEP 3: COVER DARK CIRCLES WITH CHARLOTTE’S BEAUTIFUL SKIN RADIANT CONCEALER

    Covering dark circles calls for Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer, a hydrating concealer that provides medium-buildable coverage and is enriched with hyaluronic acid. The illuminating formula brings radiance to the eye area while helping to camouflage the appearance of dark circles and hyperpigmentation with flexible coverage. Build it up, blend it out and watch as dark circles appear less visible.

    Tilbury Tip: For an EVEN BRIGHTER-LOOKING eye area, choose a lighter shade than your perfect match for a brightening EYE LIFT EFFECT!

  4. An open, setting powder compact in banana-yellow with a mirrored-lid and white and gold-coloured packaging.

    STEP 4: BRIGHTEN UNDER EYES WITH AIRBRUSH BRIGHTENING FLAWLESS FINISH

    With Charlotte’s Powder & Sculpt Brush, apply Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish under the eyes as an illuminating finishing powder. A veil of this SILKY-SOFT pressed powder underneath the eyes allows you to capture the light like an expert photographer, leaving your under-eyes looking BLURRED and BRIGHTENED. Applied to the highest points of the face, this perfecting powder leaves the under-eyes looking airbrushed and brightened!

    Tilbury Tip: Use yellow-toned Tan/Deep on deeper complexions and translucent Fair/Medium on fairer skin tones.
