Beauty By Benz Approved: Kate Somerville IllumiKate Concealing Eye Cream
Let me
tell ya, my 30’s have been interesting thus far. While I’m still in the
low-3o’s, I’m quickly discovering that those who came before me were
not lying about the signs of aging. The slowing of the metabolism,
the sagging of skin, and, my favorite, undereye bags. I don’t think I
had every used a concealer before I turned 30, unless you count the
occasional hickey in college. (Just kidding mom and dad!). Basically
the minute that I turned 30 I got a verbal spanking
from a makeup artist about the fact that I hadn’t been using undereye
cream, and it wasn’t long after that when I started noticing I probably
needed to put a little concealer under there. Fast forward to now where
my undereye routine is nothing short of Picasso-worthy.
Always looking for an easy way to cover up, brighten, and moisturize,
without spending all my hard-earned cash, I’ve recently discovered this
time-saving Kate Somerville formula. The IllumiKate Concealing Eye Cream ($42) is your eye cream and your concealer/brightener
in one simple step. I’m kind of already hooked on a Kate Somerville eye cream, so I know it’s good stuff, but the fact that this is a
concealer as well just blows all others out of the water. Warning: if
you’re the type that likes really full coverage, I
don’t know if this is for you. The thing I like about it is that the
formula is so wonderfully lightweight. You don’t feel like you’re
wearing caked-on makeup under your eyes. But don’t be fooled because of
its lightness, because it has a ton of anti-aging
ingredients in it. There is an anti-aging Peptide Complex to support
collagen production, a Ceramide complex to reinforce the skin’s natural
lipid barriers, Hyaluronic Microsponge Technology to pump some life into
those wrinkled areas, and, finally, a “Diamond
Complex” for a diffused, soft-focus undereye effect. Basically it’s
like combining all your favorite products into one. That old twist-pen
undereye brightener that you’ve been using for years? Check. Your
standard concealer? Check. Nourishing undereye
cream with all the skincare benefits you can possibly want? Done and
done. It’s safe to say I’m pretty impressed with the stuff. Looks like
my usual Kate Somerville eye cream is going to have to move to
nighttime use only, because the IllumiKate will definitely
be my morning go-to.
