    I'm glad I bought this on a super clearance sale at Shoppers. I would have been absolutely livid if I paid full price.

    This product did NOTHING to brighten my under eyes. After using it for about a week it completely dried out the delicate skin under my eyes. They got bright red and super puffy and I couldn't wear eye makeup for about a week.

    I keep telling myself to quit buying this product because it is always disappointing. This product does not do anything to brighten my under eyes and I find it very drying.

    LOVE, I don't get a good nights sleep and this stuff is amazing, great for all ages. A little goes a long way. It is an absolute must in my make up bag.

    Being a college student, I have had many a late night! I'm looking for something will make me look less like a zombie in the morning. I had high hopes for this product, but unfortunately it just does not deliver.

    Photo Op does come in a cute little tube with a convenient brush applicator, but that's pretty much where the positives stopped for me. The product claims to disguise dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. Wrinkles aren't my biggest concern just yet, but I figured it couldn't hurt. So, I dabbed Photo Op under my eyes and didn't really see a difference--then or later in the day. What I did notice was a slight shimmer, so keep in mind this stuff sparkles in the right light. I was determined and have tried it over and under foundation, primer, concealer, but to no avail.

    It is light, non-greasy, and frangrance-free, but does not preform as promised. Sorry ladies.

    So I have always been drawn into smashbox products for some reason, (maybe their advertising, packaging? who knows) but I came across this eye brightener and was instantly interested, I mean who couldn't use a little brightening under the eye, especially on those mornings. Like most of the smashbox products I expected a strong product that wasn't "light". But this to me is very light. It didn't do anything for me for covering the dark circles. The consistency is not that of a real concealer is is almost liquidy and very thin, which I didn't expect. But it did have a great luminescence that did tend to brighten up my eyes. If you want a good coverage concealer this is not it, but for a light pick me up it works great. Layering this with another concealer could also create more coverage. I also found that the brush is very easy to use, and comes in a cute little package. Another thing I discovered is that you can use it as a highlighter under your eyebrows on you brow bone, which brightens up your eyes even more!

    I LOVE this product. I have always had bags under my eyes, I'm only 20 and they just wouldn't go away. My mom recommended this product to me and I'm completely obsessed, bags will never be completely gone but this product definitely hides them.

    I love this brightener for days when I'm sleepy or a little puffy. Just a dab under my eyes and in the inner corners and light just reflects under my eyes, disguising any darkness. I really love the applicator brush too! Makes this really easy to use.

    When I am getting sick or have had lack of sleep my eyes tend to look tired and I will develop dark circles, Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener is my saving grace. I have never been a huge fan of concealers because I don't like to have a lot of makeup around my eyes period. This product is supposed to be used prior to concealer application but I wear it sparingly without concealer on top of it at all and it works fine for me. This product has a hint of irridescence to it that makes your eyes automatically look brighter. It apparently also has a hint of marine collagen in it to hide those fine lines below your eyes. All I can say is that this product works wonders for waking up those tired looking eyes. You can really tell the difference in pictures taken with me when I have dark circles with and without this product on. I highly recommend this product!
