Dark circles are something we all get from time to time, whether it’s genetics or just a bad night’s sleep, so finding a way to cover them is usually something everyone needs to do once in a while. If you’re tired of your under-eyes looking cakey with regular concealer, Louise Thompson has shared the perfect product to cover up dark circles and make you look more awake in seconds.
Posting on Instagram, the former Made in Chelsea star raved about Rodial’s Lowlighter (£38), writing: “This product is AMAZING under the eyes if you look tired.” She then added: “The best product if you want to look like you’ve had 8+ hours sleep.”

The colour correcting concealer helps to visibly blur and brighten the area, melting into your skin and making it easy to blend out for subtle-looking coverage. The radiant finish helps brighten up dark circles, and its hydrating ingredients mean you don’t end up creasing or looking dry and cakey.
Apart from covering up dark circles and blemishes, the Rodial Lowlighter also helps improve the look of your skin underneath. It contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E which plump and smooth fine lines and provide additional hydration, whilst caffeine helps reduce the appearance of puffiness.
Originally coming in the shade banana – which became a cult favourite product for makeup fans everywhere – it now also comes in two additional shades, peach and latte. Banana has soft yellow undertones, whilst peach has (surprise surprise) peach undertones, and latte caters to warm caramel undertones.
If you want a greater shade range, REFY’s Concealer comes in 24 different colours. Whilst it’s not specifically designed for the under-eye area, it has a serum-based formula that hydrates, brightens and blurs.
For those who prefer a lighter coverage, Erborian’s CC Eye Clair is £27 and helps to restore your eye area’s radiance whilst caring for your skin. It helps fade the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and evens out skin tone for a natural-looking finish.
Meanwhile Zoeva’s Baby Fresh Eyes Under Eye Brightening Corrector is £24 and instantly neutralises dark circles, rather than just covering them up. The results last for hours, and it works to brighten, hydrate and de-puff your skin whilst you wear it so your skin looks even better after use.
However LookFantastic shoppers seems to be a big fan of Louise’s go-to Rodial Lowlighter, writing: “Great coverage, doesn’t sink into lines around eyes. Lasts all day!”
Another agreed: “Amazing product. Brightens and lightens under eye area. Also use on age spots and fading acne scars.”
Some found it less useful, saying: “I like the way it glides under eye and leaves a glow and hides dark circles. A little runny for me so use it with another product.”
Others said: “Offers good coverage, but can be heavy in parts.”
However others loved it, writing: “I’m 37 and suffer with dark circles under my eyes. This is my first time trying this product and I’m so happy with it. It has brightened my eyes beautifully.”
