When a beauty expert says a product “gives skin a really plump, almost juicy feel”, we sit up and listen. That’s exactly what Stylist’s beauty director Shannon Peter declares of her go-to moisturiser, Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched Face Base (£44.50), with its skin-friendly cocktail of shea butter plus vitamins B, C and E. She’s not the only fan: one pot sells every minute around the world. So when a version designed specifically for eyes was announced, Shannon was a little excited.
The new Vitamin Enriched Eye Base contains all the goodness of the original formula but is also charged with caffeine to brighten tired under-eyes, as well as moisturising hyaluronic acid. “I’ve become so besotted, I’ve started taking it with me wherever I go,” Shannon says. “It’s great for perking up Zoom-fatigued eyes, soothing the fallout of a bout of hay fever or even as a bedtime ritual – I layer it on extra thick at night as a makeshift eye mask. If you’re looking for a starter eye cream, something to drench flakiness away or a brilliant base to help your eyeshadow pop, you can’t go wrong with this.” £34, Bobbi Brown
