REESON Beauty Lid Elixir Eye Serum-Tint Review & Swatches

I am thrilled to be able to say that REESON Beauty Lid Elixir has been super popular and we have struggled to keep it in stock. Luckily is it back on pre-order now, so don’t miss out.

What is REESON Beauty Lid Elixir?

I basically made Lid Elixir for me because I have wanted smoother, more youthful looking eye lids for the longest time and there wasn’t anything out there that I felt would do the job.

Like the Bronzing Balm and the Highlighter Duo, the REESON Beauty Lid Elixir is a skincare-makeup hybrid product, and a truly skincare-first formula. It is a peptide packed serum-tint designed to treat the eye lids. The challenge was to add long lasting, crease resistant colour and soft shine. But we did it. Lid Elixir took over 3 years to formulate!

  • A first of its kind peptide-packed serum-tint
  • Designed to smooth eyelids and deliver a wash of sheer, glossy colour
  • Univeral shade that suits all skin tones
  • Formulated with active ingredients to help skin feel brighter, plumped and hydrated
  • Targeted active ingredients like Matrixyl Synthe 6 and Gatuline Link n Lift work to boost collagen and elastin synthesis, and to visibly reduce imperfections on the eyelids
  • Works to improve the appearance of eyelids both instantly and over time
  • Crease-proof once set
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Non-comedogenic

Key Ingredients

MATRIXYL SYNTHE 6 – powerful peptide also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38. Boosts collagen and elastin synthesis and works with the skin’s natural matrix to produce a visible smoothing and lifting effect. Studies have shown it improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dullness

GATULINE LINK N LIFT – Horse Chestnut Extract works to stimulate cellular dynamism of fibroblasts. Studies show that it reconnects the epidermis with the dermis to reinforce the skin’s structure and reduce wrinkles

SODIUM HYALURONATE – form of Hyaluronic Acid with a smaller molecular size, it helps to plump and firm the delicate eye area, smooths the appearance of the eye lids, and provides long-lasting hydration for an elastic skin surface

SQUALANE – helps maintain moisture in the skin, leaving skin feeling supple and more comfortable. Boosting hydration can help your skin to appear more vibrant and healthier.

How to use the REESON Beauty Lid Elixir

REESON Beauty Lid Elixir – How To Use It

Apply a tiny amount of Lid Elixir directly on to the lids with with either fingertips or a small brush.. You can tap to blend out the edges or blend with a brush. For extra smoothing, try to keep lids closed and still for a few seconds to allow the formula to set.

I like to use it alone, however you can apply other eye makeup on top as long as you have allowed it to completely dry.

My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation

My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation
My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation

I have been testing out this foundation for a few days and I have to say, I like it a lot.

Packaging

The packaging is really nice. It’s a minimal and sleek plastic bottle that fits easily into your makeup bag. You simply squeeze out the product and it’s neat and mess-free.

Shades

There are 15 shades in the range which I have listed above. They are arranged across undertones which is always helpful and there’s a mix of warm, cool, and neutral. I’m usually a light neutral and I found my perfect match in shade 5, which blended seamlessly into my skin.

Application & Finish

I have been using a brush to apply this, as I do with all my foundations, and my favourite brush, my REESON No. 1* is perfect for it. It works especially well for this as it has a small end for concealing, and the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation can also be used like a concealer.

This formula blends effortlessly into the skin and it delivers a dewy but not oily finish. It give a flawless and healthy look to the skin, without the appearance of obvious makeup.

See the first time I applied the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation in the video below:

Coverage

This is a medium buildable formula and I find that a little goes quite a long way and can very quickly even out the skin, cover redness and blur out imperfections. You can build up coverage really easily by adding a light layer so it actually doubles really nicely as a concealer.

Wear Test

On my combination skin, this wore beautifully throughout the day. I got a good 8 hours of glowy wear, with no clinging or patchiness.

Dry skins will love this, and if you are oily, you might want to set it with a bit of powder.

Final Thoughts

I’m impressed with the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation and it pretty much gives me everything I want from a dewy base. There’s glow, comfort, hydration, and you just get that that effortless your-skin-but-better look.

If you love radiant, lightweight, skincare-infused foundations, I think you could love this.

If you are looking to try any other Sweed products, I also love their Lash Serum. For more info on that, read Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum Review.
