TV star Lisa Snowdon says ‘see you later dark circles’ with this Rodial concealer
TV presenter Lisa Snowdon knows a thing or two about being busy – and she’s shared her secret to looking fresh, no matter what she’s got going on. Her makeup won’t break the bank, either, with Rodial’s Banana Lowlighter Mini costing £28.
In January last year, Lisa shared her secret to saying “see you later dark circles” in an Instagram ad featuring the Banana Lowlighter. She demonstrated how to use the product – dabbing it under her eye and blending it all the way up to the browbone with a makeup brush – saying: “It corrects and it illuminates and it glides on”, giving her a “lovely lit from within look”.
According to Rodial, the Banana Lowlighter concealer gives a lovely glow without the shimmer that shoppers often find in these products, making it much more of an everyday choice. It’s a clever product, combining a colour corrector, concealer and complexion enhancer in one.
It’s made from a cream-based formula with yellow undertones to ‘help conceal imperfections’, Rodial says – a must for banishing under-eye bags. Plus, it’s a makeup and skincare hybrid, and is packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. The concealer is simple to use – all shoppers have to do is swipe or dot it underneath their eyes with the wand, and build up coverage to the desired level.
If shoppers wanted to look around, Charlotte Tilbury has its cult favourite Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer for £31. It comes in a range of shades and undertones for a true colour match, and promises ‘up to 24-hour creaseless wear’.

This concealer gives a ‘lit-from-within’ glow and buildable coverage, while still hydrating the skin.
Another solid alternative is the Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer, which comes in a range of skin tones for £28 at Cult Beauty. This product has a botanical-rich formula that promises to hydrate the under-eye area.
The Banana Lowlighter Mini has an impressive 4.9 star rating from over 770 reviews on the Rodial website. One happy shopper wrote: “Would have given way more stars if possible. This blended in amazingly without and creases. Made me look refreshed.”
Another added: “Excellent quality and super easy application. My go to favourite product.”
A third customer said: “Normally have trouble trying to conceal age spots because product seems to stand on skin and enhance wrinkles . Banana Lowlighter conceals age spots and blemishes and makes skin glow and natural looking.”
However, while one shopper did call it “compact and light”, they said: “Need to find optimum amount needed and best way to apply.” Makeup is very personal, and another customer commented: “Great cover but a little too pale for me. Useful for really dark shadows though.”
