I am thrilled to be able to say that REESON Beauty Lid Elixir is now available in a brand new shade, Toasted Cinnamon. This means the sell-out original shade which was previously called Universal has now been named OG Nude. Here’s what you need to know.
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
- Now available in 2 shades NEW Toasted Cinnamon and OG Nude (previously named Universal)
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
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.

Where to buy it
The REESON Beauty Lid Elixir is £29 and available in Toasted Cinnamon and OG Nude (previously Universal) now:
What is the difference between OG Nude and Toasted Cinnamon?
OG Nude (formerly known as Universal) is a neutral, pinky-beige shade designed to suit all skin tones. Toasted Cinnamon is a warm, cinnamon-toned nude also developed to suit all skin tones but with a touch more warmth and richness. Toasted Cinnamon is ideal for a summery, bronzed look.
Has the original shade changed in formula?
No. Only the name has changed. The OG Nude shade has the exact same silky serum texture and neutral undertone as the original “Universal” shade.
Which Lid Elixir shade is best for my skin tone?
Both shades have been designed to work with a range of skin tones. They are buildable and flattering, so it’s safe to experiment!
Can I wear Lid Elixir with eyeshadow?
Yes! Lid Elixir works beautifully on its own or as a glossy topper over powder or cream shadows. Just let it set for a few seconds before layering.
Where can I buy the new Toasted Cinnamon shade?
