Approximately 60 days of a half pump twice daily.
How much Total Eye® should I use?
With Colorescience Total Eye 3 in 1 eye renewal, dispensing and applying the appropriate amount is very important. Be sure to dispense half a pump to the applicator tip and dot around both eyes. This half pump is enough to cover the entire orbital region (under the eye to brow-including eyelids) for both eyes. This means ¼ pump per eye.
If you apply more than this, the extra product can collect in fine lines or settle in under-eye creases. And if you are just using it for under the eye as opposed to the entire eye area, this might require less product. Once the appropriate amount is applied, use the applicator tip to smooth the product over and then use your fingertips to blend- this will allow for a nice finish.
In what order should I apply Total Eye® with other Colorescience® products?
First apply All Calm™, Even Up®, or your favourite Skin Perfector to lightly moisturized skin. Next, apply Total Eye® to ensure the brightening and color-correcting benefit. (As Total Eye® has a priming benefit, another eye primer is not necessary.) Follow with your Colorescience® foundation and enhancers. And don’t forget to finish with the Sunforgettable Brush-on Sunscreen, reapplying this every 2 hours for continued sun protection.
How often should I use Total Eye®?
Apply Total Eye® twice a day to the entire orbital area, from under eye to brow, including eye lids. You may also reapply to the under-eye area over makeup as a touch up throughout the day.
