Anyone else been searching endlessly for a good tinted eye cream? Every time I find something promising, it's sold out or impossible to get. I wanted to try the viral Colleen Rothschild one, but it's never in stock. Looking for alternatives that brighten under eyes without feeling like heavy makeup!

My under eyes are naturally dark, and lash serums have made it more noticeable over time. Some days I don't want full concealer, so I've been trying lightweight, skincare-focused coverage. Here are two products that stood out for completely different reasons.

1. Milani Cosmetics Supercharged Brightening Under Eye Tint — Peach ($11)

This product genuinely surprised me in the best way. I expected it to be more like a lightweight brightener, but it actually gives noticeable coverage while still feeling incredibly thin and comfortable under the eyes. The shade “Peach” works really well for my skin tone because it helps cancel out darkness and redness underneath the eyes without looking too orange. As soon as I blend it in, my under eyes instantly look brighter and more awake.

2. Good Weird Cold Brew Undereye ($23)

This product is completely different from the Milani one because it focuses more on skincare benefits instead of coverage. It only comes in one shade, and the formula feels more like an eye serum than a traditional tinted cream. The texture feels so cooling and refreshing under the eyes. Honestly, the best way I can describe it is exactly like giving tired under eyes a little espresso shot in the morning. I especially enjoy using this when my under eyes feel puffy or tired because it helps depuff and gives a slightly brighter appearance over time.

Both of these products work beautifully, but they serve completely different purposes in my routine. The Milani Under Eye Tint is perfect when I want instant brightening and lightweight coverage, while the Good Weird Cold Brew Undereye works better as a skincare-focused product for long-term improvement and depuffing. Tinted under eye products are becoming one of my favorite beauty categories because they give that refreshed look without feeling too heavy or makeup-like.
