Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So, today
we are going to be taking a look at the Fenty Beauty
Bright Fix Eye Brighteners. There here. Now, I actually ordered four
shades, and I have actually used this already, just very quickly,
and I did a quick review over on TikTok. But what I wanted to do today
is kind of sit down and correct maybe something that I did wrong,
and just see how I like this product again.
And I'll go through my first impressions with you. For those of you who are new to
my channel, hi, my name is Robert. I'm a professional makeup artist
here on YouTube, and also real life. And it's my goal to help you become a Pro
yourself, or just someone who's really good at
makeup. So if that sounds like something you are interested in,
then please do consider subscribing. Okay, let's get into it. So my first
impressions of this product was that, first of all,
calling itself an eye brightener is kind of confusing. From reading the
product description, it says it brightens, and it also says
it conceals. So it's basically a lightweight
concealer, that's what it is. Which brightens under the eye and
because it is so lightweight, like BB creams for
example, you can get away with doing less shades,
because one shade can be more universal. So
that's where this kind of like, eye brightener thing comes from. But people
are like, but isn't it just an eye brightener?
What is an eye brightener to you? That's what I'm going to ask you, first of all.
To me, it's something that yes, brightens under the eye,
but you can build it up slightly. But when a product claims that it's going to
conceal, then I expect, oh you can build it up and
it's going to conceal. Now, if you actually like Google like 'eye brightener',
'makeup eye brightening' nothing really comes up.
The only thing I can think of would be the Touche Eclat from...
whoever did it. YSL? I can't remember. Which was almost like,
again, just a very minimal amount of like a bright lightweight concealer basically.
So, yeah there are some color correcting shades within this concealer but it's
basically a lightweight concealer. Of course it's going to brighten under
the eye, anything would when you apply it under the eye.
Now, that's marketing isn't it, it's like it's going to brighten under the eye
but in my experience of doing makeup, and for those of you who don't know,
I'm coming up to my... am I in my 13th year? Of
doing makeup professionally, and I'm not talking about on myself, on social media.
I'm talking about in general, I had a career before YouTube.
It is, it's a lightweight concealer which is, nothing wrong with that but when
you're thinking about it, when you're like but isn't it just an eye brightener?
That's not really a thing, it's, it's a lightweight concealer
that you can use to just give a very subtle
highlight under the eye, or a subtle glow under the eye, or subtle color correction
under the eye, which is fine. It's a great product but
don't think that eye brightener is its own product, if that makes sense.
So, how I found this product before was
thinking it was like this very lightweight, very, you know,
hydrating... although it does have powder in it. I
thought that it was going to be quite... exactly that, hydrating, quite smooth on
the skin, quite easy to blend. However, I found it matt-er than I
expected it to be. And I just wasn't generally very
impressed with the... no, I was impressed but I was
impressed with it as a concealer. Like it's, it's a bit
difficult to go wrong with concealer nowadays, right.
So, I was kind of like, yeah, this is nice. And then after speaking to a few of you
on Twitter, some people were very happy with it, some
people were like I didn't like it, some people were like it's concealer,
and then some people were very much... I personally, everything from Fenty that
I've used, I've really, really liked. So I was surprised
when people were like, I don't really like Fenty. I was like,
but they're quite good products. What I've done today is, I've really hydrated...
god I look so tired. What's this here? I've hydrated under my
eyes quite a bit, because I did find it was
quite matte, and I do usually hydrate under my eye quite a bit
too. For me it helps stop creasing, for me. And then, what I'm going to do is I'm
going to use one shade under the eye, and then I'm going to color correct and
also use another shade on top, because that's what I did the first time,
and I didn't really like the mix. And then I'm actually going to use the,
the Eaze from Fenty Beauty. Okay, shall we just?
So let's start with color correcting first, this is the shade peach 09.
Which to me, the shade is the most perfect color correcting shade.
It's not completely orange, it just does have that peachy tone to it which
is a great color correction if you are, if you do have darker under
eyes. If you have deeper skin tone, then of course you can go more
towards orange, or more towards a redy tone.
But for me, this is a great color corrector for under the eye. And I'm going to
use a brush first of all. And, where am I quite dark? I
feel like I'm really dark this side, so let's build up that color.
And I do really like this... oh, if you see glitter on my face, it's because I
was just using glitter and it just won't f*cking come off.
This is why I hate it so much, I hate glitter.
So I'm just gonna tap that into the areas where I'm slightly more
darker. And this is what I feel like, for me, when I use color correctors and I
just feel like color correcting should be this way,
when you're color correcting around your eye and
you're using like a peachy tone, or a tone that's a little bit darker than
your skin, it should almost... what's the word?
Neutralize. We're neutralizing under the eye, we're not trying to make a whole new
shade under there. So really, if anything you, you don't want
to see it on the skin as much as an orange color corrector.
Kind of just like this is fine, you see how it's kinda neutralized that
darkness? But you can see a clear like peachier
tone. And it's going to do the job, so once we put on a lighter shade,
it's going to look completely neutralized, and we're going to have a
nice brighter under eye with our eye brightener. That's what I
was trying to say earlier, eye brightener is the name of the product, it's not really
like, oh I need to get myself an eye brightener today, which brand should I
get? Because, it's a lightweight concealer. You know if
you're building a kit you're not like, oh I need to add an eye brightener.
I don't know what I'm saying. Okay, so let's go on with golden ivory number two,
and let's build that up over the areas where
I just put that shade down. This is quite a bit lighter but
in theory, because these are lightweight
concealers, I should be able to use a brighter shade,
and it not look too horrendous on my skin.
I feel like when you have a product like this, and
people put a certain set of rules on how to use this, for example like,
oh no you're only meant to use a finger, oh no you're only meant to use a brush,
then I immediately deem a product not very user-friendly.
People should be able to incorporate makeup into their routine
in a way that they use it. Yes, there are better ways to use products,
there are theories on how to use products better but if I was releasing a
brand, and I'm not saying this, this was like
from reading some comments from some... opinions sorry, on this
product... what's wrong with me today? Some, reading some opinions on this product,
people were like, oh yeah it's, you should only really use your fingers,
or it's only meant, it's made to meant to be used with
a brush. It's like, well that's not it at all, you know. That isn't how it should be
one bit. Yeah, this is actually really nice. Okay, I
don't know what would happen the first time I used this product,
and it was a little bit, it was, it just looked like concealer. It was cakey
around my eyes, it didn't sit very well at all.
Maybe I was having a bad skin week. But I mean, I hope
products would work on me when I'm having a bad skin week too, you know.
I am very hydrated around the eyelid area, so this
is going on really, really nicely and smoothly, and I can't see texture.
That was my issue before, I had quite a lot of texture on the
under eyes where... yeah see, brighter. Nice.
So should we just go straight in with the 02
golden ivory on the other eye, and just... I didn't realize I look so tired
until now. Going back to like how this is meant to
be used, again, people were saying, you know it's meant to be used as like a
sheer coverage. Whereas on the website itself, it does
say sheer buildable. So, that word absolutely suggest that
this could be built up to a point that it conceals.
Which, you actually don't need to build it up that much, because look how, how
quickly that concealed, and it's, it's very natural. Like it's actually
un-clockable on the skin, you wouldn't know it's there. You can see my skin
underneath. And it says it applies well with fingers,
brush or sponges. Crease, humidity, and sweat-resistant long
wear formula. I do, I mean, there's not much difference
but I do actually prefer the side maybe without the color corrector. So
that's really, really great if you want a tint of product.
I'm just going to apply foundation and see how well this sits. This is the
number eight Eaze Drop. Is it Ease Drop or Easy Drop?
I'm gonna call Easy Drop foundation. Not foundation sorry, the Blurring Skin
Tint. And I did a review on this foundation as
well, just in case you missed it, and it was really, really good. I'm very
very oily, I have extremely oily skin, and the day that I was meant to be like
wear testing this I completely forgot, and I was like crap,
I have so much to do today. And I was basically, I was building
furniture, I was running up and down my stairs
all day and I have three floors in my house. And I was running up and
down those, like I was cleaning this floor basically,
and I have like loads of boxes up here, loads of rubbish to take
downstairs, and I was like, it's kind of an unfair
test because I'm doing a lot of physically tir...
what's the word? Physically demanding jobs. Whereas actually, in my real life,
I don't do that. I'm not gonna wear foundation while I'm doing physically
demanding things, and I'm not gonna sweat as much. But, I
was so impressed with the way this just held on
to the skin, through all of that, through me sweating,
from me greasing up. I didn't touch it up throughout the day,
and it, it just sat so incredibly well, to a point where I was like, am I even
wearing any foundation anymore? Because it kind of just
sat so well on my skin, and looked so natural,
and I kind of wiped off half my face, I was like, oh yeah no I am
wearing foundation still. Oh, and I also saw
people like, oh you can apply it straight on here onto the eye.
Oh, wrong eye, whoops. I hate that idea for, for hygiene reasons.
I really don't like it. Let's play a little bit more.
Every time I say something like, oh I don't like to apply it this way, like
powder foundations. I'm like, oh I don't like
applying it with the sponges. People message me like, well how else are we meant to
apply it? Remember brushes? Remember when?
I like that very much, I like that for very natural skin. You can still see my
skin, you can still see blemishes, you can still see
some pigmentation which I absolutely love. The concealer is sitting
really, really well. But it is very comfortable, it is just like a
lightweight concealer, which is perfect, which is very nice if you want that.
Yeah, I would recommend getting it, it's a really nice product,
if you do like natural skin. I feel like it's a very Summer skin kind of thing,
especially because it is like humidity resistant, all that kind of...
it said that? In terms of finding a shade, it's not bad if you're going for just a
slight color correction, because you can be two or three shades
within that one shade, within that one color.
However, if you do want to build it up then I would recommend finding a more
suitable shade from the range that is going to suit you a little bit better, if
you do want more coverage from, if you do want more
coverage from this. I think it's really, really nice and
it's something I think I would incorporate into my...
if I was to wear foundation every day, into my foundation routine. I mean, it is
creasing very slightly. So crease resistant...
I cannot think of a concealer that is truly crease resistant,
that truly, truly doesn't add like creases to your skin.
The claim 'crease-resistant' I do find it kind of hard to believe with
some concealers, because if you have textured under eyes for
example, if you do have fine lines, of course it's going to crease. There may
be ways to delay it but it's going to happen at some point, it's
skin texture, it's normal, it's natural, It's, it's absolutely going to happen. And
when it does come to that, you know, just, just tap it and warm it
back up with your finger and you'll be good.
That's why I don't like using too much powder under the eye, because you can't
warm up that product again or re-heat or re-um... re-uh...
revive the product itself. So yeah, I do like it, that's, thats... I don't
know how many times I'm gonna say that. Well,
that's my review. I would love to know if you have used this product, if you liked
it, what you thought was going on. I do have a full face of Fenty coming
next week. So many people have asked me for
this and I did actually, I bought everything for it
and then I saw that these were going to be released and I was like, no let me
wait, and then people wanting to hear so much
about these. So that's why I'm filming this but I do
have a full face of Fenty coming next week.
