Where do I blend EyeLuminator™ Under Eye Brightening Cream?
EyeLuminator™ Under Eye Brightening Cream is the morning makeup step for sheer brightness and a luminous eye-area finish. Finely milled Mica and pigments soften the appearance of dullness and discoloration with sheer color coverage; blend it after skincare from the under-eye area toward the cheek and outer eye.
Why combine a little light with skin-loving care?
You may want your eye area to look fresher while the surrounding skin still looks like you. EyeLuminator pairs sheer light and color with the smooth, silky feel of Squalane, so the finishing touch carries conditioning care with it.
That combination belongs to SeneGence’s idea of bringing skincare thinking into color. EyeLuminator contains Calanthe Discolor (Ebine) Extract, Laminaria Digitata (Kelp) Extract and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (Yeast) Extract, as part of its SenePlex+® technology, and among its oils is Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil, from the nut of the Nangai tree that Joni’s team turned to in the dry heat around Mount Yasur, an oil Pacific Islanders had used for their skin and hair for generations. The orchid legend behind that technology begins with Joni’s search for life thriving in extremes. Follow the orchid’s story.
What creates the light, slip and comfort?
Mica, with the color pigments Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) and Iron Oxides (CI 77491), gives the formula its sheer color coverage and luminous finish over under-eye dullness and discoloration.
Squalane, derived from olives in this product, helps skin feel smooth and silky, softens it, improves elasticity and protects against moisture loss.
The Terminalia Arjuna Bark Extract oleo-extract blend brings polyphenols and lipids into care for smoother-looking lines, less visible puffiness and discoloration.
Polygonum Tinctorium Leaf Extract is the indigo-leaf ingredient in the formula’s oil-based care for the skin barrier, a calmer-looking eye area and less visible redness. Rapeseed oil accompanies the indigo-leaf extract in this oil-based ingredient preparation.
Calanthe Discolor (Ebine) Extract, with Laminaria Digitata (Kelp) Extract and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (Yeast) Extract, connects the formula to SenePlex+® and its gentle-looking renewal care. Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol and Glucosamine HCl join its moisturizing care.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Aleurites Moluccana (Kukui) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil and Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil contribute conditioning care and a comfortable, supple feel.
Orchis Mascula (Orchid) Flower Extract contributes a soothing cosmetic role, separate from Calanthe Discolor’s lifting research. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Lecithin and Urea join the moisture and conditioning care; Tocopherol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Extract and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract form part of the antioxidant care.
Where should I blend it?
Think of a softly brightened triangle below the eye, with the edges disappearing into the cheek. Begin after skincare, then follow the product’s morning application:
Use in the morning as part of your makeup application. With a small brush or clean fingertip, apply to the under eye area and softly blend down onto the cheek area and over to the outer eye.
Keep the transition soft as you move toward the cheek and outer eye, so the luminous finish melts into the rest of your makeup.
For the jar, use a sanitized spatula to take out a little product, and do not dip a used finger or tool back in. Blend the inverted triangle softly; the same sheer brightness can serve as a lid primer or brow-bone highlight.
How does it fit with EyeCrème and NeoTight Eye Serum?
EyeCrème supplies daily moisture; NeoTight™ Eye Serum supplies targeted treatment. EyeLuminator adds the sheer morning makeup finish after skincare. You can choose the care your eye area wants, then add the light.
Choose EyeCrème for richer eye-area moisture and care for the appearance of lines, wrinkles and radiance. Its current directions are: “Use ring finger to stipple around eye area in the AM and PM following moisturizers.” Explore EyeCrème and its eight-week findings.
Choose NeoTight™ Eye Serum for a lightweight treatment that helps the eye area look firmer, brighter and smoother, with less visible dark circles, eye bags, wrinkles and puffiness. Its current directions are: “Use twice a day, morning and night. Gently pat around the eye area, including eyelid. Avoid direct contact with eyes.” Explore NeoTight’s formula and use.
Choose the care your eyes are asking for; EyeLuminator’s own step stays simple, the luminous last touch of your morning makeup.
Your morning eye-area sequence can be NeoTight™ Eye Serum, EyeCrème, then EyeLuminator where you want sheer brightness. Add concealer only where you want fuller coverage. See the eye-product order, compare EyeCrème and EyeLuminator, or choose your eye product.
For makeup to finish the look, SeneGence suggests ShadowSense® Eyeshadow in Sandstone Pearl Shimmer, EyeSense® Long-Lasting Eye Liner Pencil, and UnderSense® 3-in-1 Maximizing Lash Primer. Add whichever suits the look you are finishing.
Who will enjoy this kind of brightness?
Choose EyeLuminator when you want sheer color coverage with a luminous finish around the eyes. SeneGence formulates it for all skin types; it is non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested, and suitable for contact lens wearers.
Alongside brightness, SeneGence’s product benefits include smoother-looking fine lines and wrinkles, less visible under-eye puffiness and redness, comfort for dry-feeling skin through barrier support, and a less tired-looking eye area.
