Catrice Cosmetics Under Eye Brightener, Dark Circles Colour Corrector (020 Warm Nude)

Looking for a colour corrector that helps even the look of dark circles? Catrice Cosmetics Under Eye Brightener in 020 Warm Nude is a creamy, buildable corrector with medium coverage, made with hyaluronic acid and shea butter, and suited to layering under concealer or wearing on its own for a brighter-looking under-eye area.

Where this corrector sits on the coverage scale

Coverage lands somewhere in the middle rather than at either end of the scale. The formulae is listed as medium coverage, so its job is to colour-correct and soften the look of discolouration rather than hide it completely. That places it under a full-coverage concealer and over a sheer brightening pen. Because the texture is creamy and easy to blend, the brand suggests starting with a small amount in thin layers and building from there. Catrice also notes that a little goes a long way, particularly on mature skin, where less product can help minimize settling into fine lines. Want more coverage than medium? The label suggests layering it under concealer. Prefer the lightest effect? Wear it alone for a naturally brightened look. Thin layers give you more control either way.

Shade 020 Warm Nude and warm undertones

This listing covers 020 Warm Nude, one of five colour-correcting shades in the line. The name points to a warm-leaning nude tone, and the range overall is described as designed to brighten a variety of skin tones. If the under-eye area shows bluish or purple-looking tones, a warm-toned corrector is the type of shade typically chosen to help even that look. The formulae builds, so begin with a small amount and add more if you want a stronger colour-correcting effect. If 020 Warm Nude is not your match, the other shades in the range may be worth a look.

Creamy finish with medium coverage

The finish is creamy rather than matte or powdery. Catrice describes the texture as blendable and comfortable, and the formulae lists hyaluronic acid and shea butter among its ingredients, which help keep the under-eye area looking smooth, hydrated and fresh. That makes it a comfortable pick for the delicate under-eye area, and it works as a base under concealer or on its own. Apply a small amount in thin layers and blend for a smooth, seamless finish.
