Tarte Fake Awake Eye Highlight Nude

This liner is perfect for making tired eyes look instantly more awake. The nude shade is subtle but effective, and the formula glides on super smoothly without tugging. It’s great for the waterline and really opens up the eyes. I do find that it fades a bit throughout the day, so a quick touch-up is sometimes needed—but overall, it’s a great little boost for a fresh, wide-eyed look. Would definitely repurchase!

The color front go on my waterline. Not visible at all.

I was skeptical, but this stuff actually works! Makes me look wide awake and hides my dark circles—or at least distracts from the fact that I haven’t slept well since 2002. Absolute game-changer!

Such a great staple to have on you at all times. Adds elevation to your makeup look and is a quick refresh tool to have you looking great all day and night

This Tarte Fake Awake Eye Highlight pencil works beautifully for brightening up my eyes — it really does make me look more awake instantly! The texture is creamy and smooth, making it super easy to apply without tugging on delicate skin. It’s soft but not too waxy, and it blends easily under the brow or along the waterline. I also appreciate how well it stays put — it’s pretty smudge-resistant and lasts most of the day without fading. The finish is subtle and natural, perfect for an everyday glow. That said, for the small size, it’s a bit pricey, so the value for money could be better. Overall, it’s a great addition to my makeup routine — lightweight, easy to use, and gives that polished “I slept eight hours” look in seconds.
