For over 20 years Rodial has been gracing our beauty cupboards with innovative products that have revolutionised the industry. From the Snake Oil Drops that 'freeze' fine lines to the contour-defining Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel, there are plenty of Rodial hits we love – and for more than their outrageous names. But, there's one product in particular that's getting all the attention right now. The Banana Lowlighter has proved so popular it has sold out in entirety 15 times and has amassed an impressive list of celebrity followers including Megan Fox and Shanina Shaik. The ‘banana’ part essentially refers to the yellow undertone, but don’t panic: it’s way less intimidating than it sounds. If we’re wanting to get technical, yellow is ideal for neutralising purple tones in the skin, so especially effective when used under your eyes to cover dark circles and sallow patches. (I attempted to employ my Banana Lowlighter to cover a raging spot and safe to say I did not succeed). But you don’t need to stop there: have a go at blending the product over the peaks of your cheekbones and along your nose to really attract light to those areas and help contour your face.

In terms of tools, I initially went in with a beauty sponge, but I found simply patting the product in with my ring finger delivered a more seamless, natural-looking result. Trust me when I say a little goes a long way: three small dots, placed under the eye, is all you need.

Reviews

Yellow undertones are generally used by experts to brighten fair complexions, while peach and orange undertones are more effective for darker skin. Thankfully, Rodial does also offer a Peach Lowlighter, which brightens deeper tones beautifully. Providing a softer highlight to the complexion, this complexion enhancer is ideal for creating a healthy radiance to the skin without a strong shimmer effect, leaving skin looking dewy and fresh for the perfect 'no make-up' look. As someone who is no stranger to tired looking eyes, I have tested my fair share of concealers, yet none have surpassed Rodial’s genius formulation. The magic really lies in the yellow undertone, which neutralises purple pigments in your skin (the source of dark circles) rather than simply sitting over the top of them.
