Illuminating eye creams are usually a luxury indulgence, with price tags to match. Take Sunday Riley’s Auto Correct or Murad’s Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, both fantastic but eye-wateringly priced at up to £70. Enter beauty journalist and expert Sali Hughes, who, in collaboration with Revolution Beauty, has gifted us Ringlight Creamy Illuminating Eye Balm – a truly excellent alternative for just £10.
What is it?
A rich, hydrating eye cream designed to instantly illuminate the eye area.
What Do I Think?
This little tube of wonder offers that coveted bright-eyed effect without the faff of makeup. It’s cleverly formulated with Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, Shea Butter to nourish, and caffeine to help de-puff tired under-eyes. The magic lies in the addition of tiny golden particles that brighten dark circles without veering into tacky glitter territory. My initial worry about shimmer overload was unfounded; the finish is subtle, chic, and refreshingly natural.
There are two ways to wear it. On bare-skin days, a swipe of Ringlight instantly perks up the eye area, giving that healthy, rested look we all strive for. It also works beautifully under concealer, adding an extra boost of brightness to shadowed eyes. Its creamy texture feels soothing and moisturising, leaving a soft dewiness that’s flattering.
The brightening effect is ideal for mornings when your eyes needs a little extra help looking awake. Better still, it’s portable and perfect for refreshing your concealer during the day – a fab tip from Sali herself.
Would I recommend?
Affordable, effective, and thoughtfully designed, Sali Hughes Ringlight Creamy Illuminating Eye Balm is proof that you don’t need to spend a fortune for great results. I’d highly recommend it if you want a brightening eye cream, but as always limit your expectations. If dark circles are your concern, Ringlight will help make them look less prominent but will not hide them completely in the way a concealer would.
