NARS's Light Reflecting Eye Brightener is a creamy under-eye makeup-skincare hybrid in six shades that NARS says brightens for up to 24 hours. It launched in August 2023 at $34, and NARS's site now lists it at $38, showing a sale price of $34.20 when we checked.

Shade-Match Guide: Which Eye Brightener Shade Is Right for You?

NARS's shade descriptions:

Our take: two shades (Magic Hour and Sunfire) cover the medium-deep to deep area, and only one, Amulet, is labeled simply deep. If you're between depths, swatch in store, since we haven't tried the shades ourselves.

What Does It Do?

NARS says it targets dark circles and dullness with a creamy, crease-resistant texture that glides on with sheer, buildable coverage, for a lifted, awakened look with brightness that lasts up to 24 hours. The ingredients NARS highlights are chromatic pearls, bidens pilosa extract and hyaluronic filling spheres. The launch announcement also mentioned ingredients to improve skin elasticity, strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture.

How Should You Read the Claims?

NARS cites a consumer study of 61 women in which 95% agreed it was easy to apply over or under foundation and 93% agreed it blends easily. Our take: that is a brand-run, self-reported study with a small group, so it says something about ease of use, not about long-term results.

What Is Confirmed, and What Is Not?

Confirmed: shades, size, price, ingredients and claims are from NARS's product page.

Not confirmed: the page text we read didn't show a star rating or review count, and we haven't tested the 24-hour claim.

September 21, 2026 update: we re-checked the shades, price and claims. The regular price is $4 above the 2023 launch price, though the page was showing a discount.

Which shade did you choose? Tell us in the comments.
