Anna Sui Midpoint Brightener

I think it was most x years agone when I constitute myself walking aimlessly to a greater extent than or less Narita Airport. For some reason, my flying was delayed.
Suddenly, amongst tons of fourth dimension on my hands too cypher to do, I reluctantly faced towards the duty complimentary shops. Why reluctantly? Because I was broke equally hell.

"Window shopping only, " I told myself.

Ha! Famous in conclusion words.

But to my credit, afterwards a pair of hours of diligent searching too comparing, I picked the best bargain available that day.
And that bargain was a build that was totally unknown to me.

Anna Sui.

Who, or what, that was, I had absolutely no idea. But the perfume smelled overnice too fresh too energetic. And, best of all, at that topographic point was a massive gift amongst purchase to teach amongst it.

And though I don't recall what scent that was exactly, I practise recollect I quite liked it.

Fast frontwards to Jan 2015.
I'm at Narita again.
I'm non broke equally hell, but on a strict budget. The mass of my coin is meant for my upcoming Taiwanese shopping spree.
All I know is that at Narita I desire to purchase something nice-smelling. I'm tired of Dior. Other scents are besides overpowering for my nose.

Suddenly I recollect Anna Sui.



I got this Flight of Fancy based entirely on the packaging. Just because.
And piece I was getting it, I finally had a conduct chances to exam every unmarried Anna Sui makeup too skincare special on the shelf.
To live honest, apart from cute designs, it was all really underwhelming.
The only affair that stood out to me was Anna Sui Eye Brightener.



It's available inwards only ane color marked equally 01, or 001, depending on whether you're looking at the box, or the website description.

And speaking of website descriptions, here's a screenshot from Anna Sui's page:



Anna Sui Eye Brightener is intended for the oculus expanse (duh!), but they tell it tin live used anywhere on the face.

I swiped it on my paw at the store too liked its calorie-free color. I liked how to blended seamlessly too disappeared into the skin. I liked how it did what it said it would - namely, brighten the oculus area.

What I didn't similar was the overpowering scent, thence typical of Anna Sui makeup too skincare.
The scent nonetheless bothers me, but it's possible to teach used to.


It's non a concealer. It volition never operate equally such. But that's only fine amongst me.
As I teach older, I'm realizing that under-eye concealers are a tough balancing human activeness when you're over 40.

On ane hand, I desire something to camouflage my uneven under-eye skin. On the other, overdo it, too y'all jeopardy looking similar a clown amongst cake batter smeared nether your eyes. Sadly, from what I'm seeing on unlike beauty blogs, the dried upwards cake batter bargain seems to live the inwards hold off these days for Western women.

Thanks, but no thanks.



I know firsthand that it's a challenge to discovery something that doesn't settle inwards the fine lines or emphasize wrinkles. It's a struggle.
And because I'm lazy too I'd rather sentry truthful cat videos on YouTube, I don't similar to grapple amongst my oculus makeup. Usually what that way is that I forgo the undereye concealer altogether.

That's why highlighters, or brighteners, or illuminators, are such a life saver for me.


Anna Sui Eye Brightener is a pretty measure deal.
We teach 5.6ml of production inwards a pretty plastic bottle.

The applicator is a measure effect doe foot.


Anna Sui Eye Brightener is slowly too efficient. It makes me hold off awake. It doesn't irritate my dry out too sensitive skin. And despite the potent scent, it doesn't build me cry.
And because it's non a heavy concealer, it's nearly impossible to overapply. It's literally foolproof.
If a makeup idiot similar me tin deal it, too then everybody else should too.

Anna Sui Eye Brightener ingredients:



As y'all tin see, the production is made inwards Japan.


It's light, it's simple, too it wasn't ridiculously expensive either. I don't recollect how much I paid for it, but it was definitely really reasonable.

It joined my really modest grouping of "stuff that most probable goes to a greater extent than or less the eyes" cosmetics.


From the top:

  • Anna Sui Eye Brightener
  • DiorSnow UV Shield BB Eye Cream inwards 010
  • Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch inwards 1

And this is how they all hold off swiped on my arm inwards the same guild equally above:


And incidentally, this is also the guild of how much I similar them.


Final thoughts:

Anna Sui Eye Brightener is a decent production at a proficient price, if y'all tin discovery it duty free.
It's really strongly scented, thence if you're sensitive to perfumed cosmetics, Anna Sui is definitely ane build to avoid.


Will I repurchase?
Hmmm... only if I can't discovery anything better.
