Westmore Beauty 60 Second Effects Tinted Firming Gel - Under Eye Cream For Puffiness And Bags Under Eyes - 10 mL Light to Medium - 0.33 Fl Oz

This stuff WORKS. However, it needs to be prepared and applied correctly or it’s useless. You HAVE to start with a completely clean, untouched base (if I use any kind of eye cream or moisturizer underneath it, it doesn’t do a darn thing.) But they do warn you about that in the instructions so it’s to be expected. I cleanse, then use a gentle toner (it MUST be oil-free) under the eyes and let it dry completely before applying. You then have to apply JUST the right amount (trial and error, but I’ve found that about a pea size dot is enough for both eyes), and start by gently swiping on the area and THEN patting. When I start out by just patting, it doesn’t work as well. And do NOT get it right underneath the eyes.. it will be crepe-city. This is designed to reduce bags, not fine lines. When I get it too close under my eyes where I have lines I'm horrified. It also definitely feels weird and tight but that’s to be expected. After applying, I’ve found that putting ANY kind of liquid/cream product on top of it (concealer, foundation, moisturizer) completely negates its effects. They say in the instructions that any kind of oil breaks down the tightening qualities and it’s true. So if you want to put makeup on top, it’s best to use some sort of lightweight powder. It does have a tint to it so I haven’t found the need for concealer when I’m wearing it. It definitely is fussy and finicky BUT it works so well I don’t mind. If you read the instructions they are very straightforward about how particular you have to be to get good results, so it’s not like they’re trying to trick you. Now that I’ve practiced with it a bunch, I’ll never be without it. I won’t use it every day because I do like to put eye cream on in the morning and can’t do that with this, so I save it for special occasions or extra-puffy days. It’s expensive but worth it for those days.

Does absolutely nothing to tighten eye bags and barely covers dark circles at all....plus the tiniest tube you've ever seen. "Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye Easywear Formula" (the one with the little brush) is 1,000 times better at tightening eye bags and dark circles. Plus you get 3 times as much for about the same price!

I am a CPap user for sleep apnea, and lucky me, I am a 1 in 1000 user whose sinus cavities fill with the air from the machine. This has caused quite a bit of puffiness under my eyes and under my brow bone. I use an amount about 1/2 size of a pea and apply it to both under my eyes and near my brow bone. This product works best (for me) to smear it on with my ring finger, then go back and pat lightly until blended. The product reduces the eye bags and above my eyes by 80%, and I could not be happier. This is the second time I have bought this product and it will continue to be a staple in my makeup routine. Well done Westmore Beauty!!! Warning - This product will not work if the skin underneath has any type of moisturizer, concealer, or liquid foundation. I use Laura Geller's powder foundation and it works great for me. I hope this information helps!

I tried different amounts and different techniques. Results: less is better or it clumps badly. The effect of bag reduction also dries out the skin but it does reduce bags. The pigment doesn't go on smoothly and tends to shift around until dry but it does diminish dark color. Seems like the clear syrum and pigment don't mix together well and you cant add makeup to it to blend. My final decision is not to keep it. It's too finicky for me to work with and even using very little, the pigment clumps too much. I would rather keep using something that restores moisture rather than draw it out.

Update: Okay, I reviewed this product too quickly. If you apply one thick layer, it is cakey and cracks. But if you apply a couple thin layers, the last with a small amount of product still visible, and then let it dry ~ it tightens the eye bag area as advertised AND IS NOT CACKEY AND DOES NOT CRACK. It is all in the application so keep working with it until you get a thin layer that has the active ingredients in it and let it dry!!! original review: Though this products works as advertised, it is not transparent ~ it is cakey and cracks (please see above remarks). It is AMAZING how my puffy bags tighten up while I have this product on BUT it is cakey and cracks. If I don't have other makeup on, if someone is close enough they can see I have imperfect makeup on under my eyes. With foundation on the rest of my face it isn't AS noticeable. I found another product that works the exact same way BUT it is a clear finish so no one can tell I have it on ~ Weathskin Instant Wrinkle Reduction Eye Cream (you can not put makeup over this product).

Works really well and has coverage with coloring.

I love this product. I just ordered my second tube. I have tried others on the market, but this one I love. It does not leave a white residue. It blends in very well with my skin color.

I've used Westmore's 60-Second Eye Effects Tinted Firming Gel for a year. That's how long my first tube lasted. In the beginning, because it was so expensive ($45), I only used it for special occasions. Once I got the hang of applying it (and that DID take some time), I loved it so much that I wore it daily even if I wasn't leaving the house. It was nice to see my face whenever I walked by a mirror! I finally ran out a month ago and was pleasantly surprised to see the price was $10 less. But the product doesn't seem the same. I have struggled for a month now to achieve the results I'd had for a year and it's as if I've forgotten how to apply it! NOTHING I do works. The bags & dark circles are still there. Don't know if I've got a defective tube, but the product does not go on evenly. I've re-watched the vids, re-read the instructions, but it just looks blotchy & dry. There are rare occasions when it magically works again, but results are generally inconsistent. I'm looking for something new.
