Beauty Review: The Body Shop’s All-In-One Instablur Eye Primer
updated the 14 July 2015 à 18:34With this multitasking eye primer in your beauty bags, you can officially bid goodbye to dreary dark circles – without the help of retouching!
What is it?
Following the highly raved about Instablur 5-action Skin Perfector, The Body Shop is set to launch its first eye primer, the All-In-One Instablur Eye Primer. Essentially, the product goes far beyond the role of a primer as it works to neutralize dark circles and redness through the yellow tint it comes in and at the same time prolongs the wear and vibrancy of eye shadow. All you have to do is apply the product in small dabs around the eye and blend it in, or you could use an eye shadow brush when applying it on the eyelids.
We held high hopes for this eye primer and it’s safe to say that there was no disappointment.
Our Verdict?
As the product promised, we loved the smoothing effect that was instantly delivered and how fine lines were appropriately masked, much like going through a retouching process on Photoshop. Additionally, the tinted cream – a little on the dry side – did work to minimize the appearance of my dark circles, so much so that I did not feel the need to add more concealer. However, if you do have much darker circles, then I would suggest to only use the primer as basic coverage before applying more concealer.
When it came to eye shadow, it works better when you apply a little more than a few dabs to really create a good base. Thereafter, create your eye look and immediately, the colours will appear more intense and vibrant. Here we have, a product that serves to conceal dark circles and still live up to its name as an eye shadow primer – we’re always in for multitasking products!
The Body Shop’s All-In-One Instablur Eye Primer is available from 21 August at all Body Shop stores and counters.
