I swapped for this with a friend who hadn't been using it. So glad I didn't pay for it. It's got a lot of shimmer, which I like in general. I noticed no cool feeling, no lightening, no reduction of puff/wrinkle/line/redness/darkness. I put it on under my eyes and put other concealer over it. I noticed no difference aside from some more sparkle, which isn't really flattering on top of dark circles. I tried putting it over my lids, hoping it'd have a nice sparkly/shadowy look, but no dice. I ended up mixing it with a foundation with the hopes of amping up my foundation. I wouldn't recommend this for pretty much anyone or any purpose. Just glad it was free!!!!!!

The only thing I can think of positive about this product is that it does feel good going on...it does have sort of a cooling effect but as far as anything visible, I haven't seen any reduction in darkness or puffiness. It also isn't very moisturizing so I definitely wouldn't re-purchase.

I bought this product thinking that it was more of a "treatment" eye cream, but I care to think of it as a primer or eye brightener. I get puffiness and fine lines, and I tried using this at night to replace my regular eye cream. Unfortunately, it didn't really have any effects other than lightening and slight shimmer. It does have cucumber extract, which helps to cool my skin, but it just seemed to be lacking moisture. I'm not going to say this is totally useless though, I put it in the refrigerator and when I apply it's nice and cold and helps prime the eye area for makeup. I don't think I would repurchase.

I'm not usually a splurger when it comes to make-up, but this stuff sounded so awesome that I decided to spend the $21 on it at sephora.com. Its a nice eye primer and it does seem to brighten my undereye circles slightly. However, I think my Revlon foundation does a better job than this at "brightening" my eyes, and any eye cream feels just as moisturizing as this one. So overall...not worth the money. In fact, I'm disappointed I spent so much on this when there was far better products to spend money on...

This definitely helps add shine to my eyes and lighten up my dark circles. It feels silky and smooth. It takes awhile to dry before adding the Well Rested, but they do make a nice combination. It's cooling and soothing and feels nice on the skin. For under $20 it's not a bad buy, but it's also no miracle worker.

I got this with a start up package and the first time I used it, it seemed to help but, within a week I noticed that it dried out my already dry under eyes. So I had to stop using it.

I bought because I have serious dark circles and puffiness in my under eye area.
I have tried lots of products to try and solve this problem because I am really aware of how dark the circles are.
From the first use I found that it made my eyes much less puffy and the dark circles were definitely much better. I think this may just be the product for me.

I like this cream because it moisturizes the undereye for me before i put my makeup on and when i go to bed at night. I recommend using it with BE's Well Rested because it works well together to reduce the dark circle look.
As far as the cream goes, it brightens up your eye with these little very very little sparkles it has... its just better as a primer for undereye makeup

after hearing all the hype of BE, I decided to try something that I needed help with. Normally I don't suffer from dark undereye circles, except for that time of the month. My circles get so dark I need concealed more than ever and thought this eye brightening cream would help. It does absolutely nothing! All I feel is a little tingle, see the minerals for a few seconds & that's it! When I proceed with my makeup routine in the end it looks like I haven't applied concealer at all. I feel like I wasted my money with this one. continued >>

I don't think that this eye cream has any healing or other benefits, but it does make the area under my eyes look better. And as a previous poster said, I use it as a primer. I really enjoy using this product and always use to to the end of the tube, so I get my money's worth. THe only down side is that I still have to buy a seperate eye cream. I am some day looking for an eye cream/brightener.

i use to use this as an eyeshadow primer. it worked ok. but after i discovered udpp and eventually BE prime time eyelid primer, i didn't know what to do with this. here's my story:

one day out of town for a holiday, a relative had got me upset. i was careful not of cry while i was there, but once i left that house, i was balling in the car. once i got back to my room, i wanted to fix my face. i used eye rev-er upper (mainly cuz i was a little puffy at that point) and some BE and my makeup looked better than before. you couldn't even tell that i'd been crying!

so anyways, after that experience i realized that i would still have use for this stuff afterall. whenever my undereye or even my eyelids are puffy from lack of sleep, i dabbed this one before i swirl, tap, buff. continued >>

this stuff is a total waste of money. i have some pretty serious dark circles (every day, not just on days when i dont get enough sleep) and this does nothing but make my dark cirlces turn into glittery dark circles (thank you bare minerals for adding way too much glitter to every product you make.) i was under the impression that this would act as a primer or a base for the my bare minerals foundation, but it's just basically a really light moisterizer with tiny glittery pieces in it. my makeup didnt stay on any more than usual, and my dark cirlces are still there.

This stuff works beautifully! I tend to have dark circles under my eyes and have been looking for something to conceal them. Based on MUA reviews (and my love of BE) I settled on the Eye Rev-er Upper. From the first time I used it I knew it would be a staple in my beauty regimen. It brightens my under eye, conceals dark circles, and smoothes the under eye skin. Because it's a new step in my routine, there have been a couple of mornings where I have forgotten to apply it and I could definitely tell a difference in how my makeup went on and how my eyes looked. Highly recommended!

I was so excited to get this product after seeing the demonstration on QVC. I started using it immediately upon receiving it. About a week later, my eyes looked red and swollen and felt like I hadn't slept in weeks. At first I didn't suspect this product because it didn't happen before. Finally, I decided to stop using it It took two days of not using it for the swelling and redness to go away. I didn't get any in my eyes either, so that wasn't the problem. I will not purchase this again!

I was very excited to try this product based on the reviews here (I live by MUA). But, it seems like I'm one of the few Revver Upper doesn't work for. I have fairly dry skin, and the skin around my eyes is even more dry and delicate. I found that this product just wasn't moisturizing enough. I tried to use it as a base for my eye concealer (All About Eyes-Clinique), and it made it crease horribly. I also tried to mix the two to see if that would help. Nope. I really do like the shimmery effect, so I can use it on it's own when I'm not wearing makeup, which is why I gave it three lippies, but I'd also prefer something with SPF for the daytime, so I'm going to keep looking!

Just started using Bare Escentuals a few weeks ago, and haven't been happy with the way the foundation and concealers seem to cake up under my eyes and accentuate the fine wrinkles, making them look much deeper. I decided to try Eye Revver-Upper to see if that might help to create a surface around my eyes that's more suitable for Bare Minerals. I didn't really think it would be all that different than my usual eye cream, but lo and behold, Eye Revver-Upper seems to work great! I followed the directions, patting and rolling it into the skin around my eyes, and liked the slight brightening it imparted. I waited a while for it to soak in, then applied Bisque concealor on top of it. Wow, what a difference! The Bisque went on so smoothly, never taking on that cakey texture, and even with the Bisque on my wrinkles looked greatly reduced compared to how they looked before. Looks like this will become a regular part of my BE routine.

I actually went into the BE store today to get a concealer. I have pretty bad dark circles and lately I have beean having a lot of redness around the eyes and some puffiness as well. I don't know if it's related to the cold weather or some allergies. I looked so pathetic to myself in the BE store mirror as SA was applying the concealer that I asked her if they have any depuffing/de-reddening cream... She brought me this and I figured I will try anything at this point. After I left the store I sat down on a bench and applied it right then and there. It started to sting quite a bit, but it was very short lived and overall appearance of my eyes improved greatly. I gave it 5 lippies since so far I like it, but I will try to post an update in a couple weeks too.

When I wake up in the morning my eyes are puffy no matter how much sleep I get. I always look so tired. I try to use this everyday, under my eyes and around the brow bone to cool and de-puff. It seems to work great but I don't know if I like it more for its shimmering light reflecting quality or the de-puffing action. It hides my circles without hiding them, if that makes any sense. When I use this I don't have to use as much concealer, so my skin looks more fresh and less thickened up with heavy makeup. I've never used it on top of my makeup, even though it says on the package that it can be used that way. I really am obsessed with this lately, especially when I use it with the B.E. Well Rested concealer.

i bought this product when i bought my BE kit. i have dry skin and this formula really isn't thick enough to sooth the delicate skin around my eyes. i like it, but just as a back-up.

This is an eye cream to brighten dark circles and soften lines with its botanicals and light reflecting ingredients but it has so many other uses. I found a tip to mix this with the BE eyeshadows and apply it with my fingers. It keeps the shadows from fading and creasing. It also gives the shadows a glossy finish. I use these with the glimmers and it is so beautiful you can almost say it gives a 3-D effect. I also mix this with my summer bisque to use as an under eye concealer. You can use it over or under your make-up! It is worth every penny and I will never be caught without it!!
