NARS have done it again with the latest light reflecting products, making Sarah's skin look 'flawless' and undereye bags gone

It takes quite a bit to wow our Beauty Editor when it comes to new makeup products, especially those with claims of ‘illuminating and invigorating the undereye area with brightness that last up to 24 hours’ - like the latest launch from NARS does - but there’s a reason she can’t stop raving about it with everyone she meets…

“I’ve had the NARS Light Reflecting Eye Brightener for a month or so now, and I cannot live without it! Not only does it make it look like I’ve actually slept for once, but my eyes even look more lifted too! Well, at least that’s what my sister said when it showed her the difference between the bags from a late night.”

NARS say that the Light Reflecting Eye Brightener ‘illuminates and invigorates the under eye area for an instantly awakened look - with brightness that lasts up to 24 hours.’ Thanks to the ‘advanced makeup-skincare hybrid, it gives the illusion of a dramatic lift by targeting dark circles and dullness.’

Best of all? The creamy, crease-resistant texture glides on sheer, adding buildable coverage. The long-wearing formula helps to create a naturally luminous effect, while skin-loving ingredients help improve skin elasticity, strengthen skin barrier, and lock in moisture.

“Honestly I have been obsessed with NARS products for years (shoutout to François Nars for that), and this mixed with the Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation, my makeup (and skin) look better than ever. I mean, I’ve tried quite a few ‘light reflecting’ products in my time, and nothing beats the combo of these two.”

Yes powered by advanced skincare ingredients that help defend against environmental aggressors and blue light, the Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation immediately strengthens your skin’s barrier - to help maintain its moisture. Best of all? It’s suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. “What I loved about this foundation in particular is that it’s a medium, buildable coverage with a natural finish.”

“Amongst the aspiring beauty bloggers, makeup artists and people just wanting to look and feel their best on a daily basis, you can’t go wrong with a NARS foundation - we can’t go five seconds without seeing one popup on our TikTok ‘FYP’, not forgetting that Molly-Mae has been a fan of Sheer Glow Foundation for years.”

“I don’t like to spend too much time on my makeup in the morning - I usually just quickly apply to hide any redness and even-out my skin tone. But when applying such a fancy foundation, I thought I better do it justice and spend a little more time today. But whether I’d spend 5 minutes or five seconds, the result would have been the same - flawless.

“What I loved most about this foundation is the consistency - it was almost water-like and blended into my skin seamlessly. I love that you can use as much or as little as you like and really build the coverage desired. Best of all? My skin still looked like skin and felt like I had nothing on at all.”

Available in 36 wonderful shades and priced at £39, the foundation is a innovative blend of makeup and skincare instantly blurs imperfections, smooths the look of textured skin, and helps conceal blemishes, dark spots, and redness.

“As for the NARS Light Reflecting Eye Brightner? Well that comes in six shades, priced at £26 - but honestly, a little goes a long way! I use dab my finger in, and tap in the left hand corner of my palm to warm it up and pat (gently) onto my undereye area. You might think £26 is a little expensive, but trust us when we say, nothing comes close to making us look awake like this!”

Though if you are looking for cheaper alternatives, Sarah’s got you covered. “Another illuminating product that I’ve used and loved is from I T Cosmetics - and the Bye Bye Under Eye Illumination (£13). With some light reflecting particles, this is really good for masking those bags and any late nights you might have had. It also contains youth-boosting peptides, hydrolysed collagen, plumping hyaluronic acid and plenty of antioxidants.”

“The L'Oréal Paris True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer with SPF20 (£3) is also a bargain! The hydrating concealer disguises the look of dark circles, fine lines and dullness with a wash of even, natural-looking colour.”
