TV presenter Lisa Snowdon has revealed her under-eye concealer secret: the £28 Rodial Banana Lowlighter Mini, which she says banishes dark circles and delivers a radiant look.
A budget-friendly beauty staple
Lisa, known for her hectic schedule, shared her trick in an Instagram advertisement last January, demonstrating how to dab the product beneath the eye and blend it up towards the browbone with a brush. She praised it for correcting, illuminating, and gliding on, adding that it gives a "lovely lit from within look".
Rodial describes the Banana Lowlighter as offering radiance without glittery shimmer, making it suitable for everyday wear. It combines a colour corrector, concealer, and complexion enhancer in one product, with a cream base and yellow undertones to conceal imperfections, particularly under-eye bags. It also hydrates the skin, thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
Simple application and rave reviews
Shoppers can simply swipe or dot the product under the eyes with the wand, building coverage as needed. The concealer has also won fans in Olivia Attwood and former Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo.
The Banana Lowlighter Mini boasts a 4.9-star rating from over 770 reviews on the Rodial website. One shopper enthused: "Would have given way more stars if possible. This blended in amazingly without and creases. Made me look refreshed." Another called it "Excellent quality and super easy application. My go-to favourite product." A third noted it conceals age spots and blemishes, making skin glow and look natural, while one user found it "compact and light" but advised finding the optimum amount to apply. Another remarked: "Great cover but a little too pale for me. Useful for really dark shadows though."
Alternatives to consider
For those seeking alternatives, Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer costs £31 and offers up to 24-hour creaseless wear in various shades. The Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer, priced at £28 at Cult Beauty, features a botanical-rich formula to hydrate the under-eye area.
