Last night I was tossing and turning, lying awake for hours...stressing about how tired I would be in the morning. And come morning, of course, I was tired—and looked it, with purple undereye circles. But there's always help in a tube—if you know which tube to reach for.
[post_ads]For dry skin: Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer is a makeup artist favorite, and there's no question why: The stick has the softest, silkiest finish, so it doesn't leave gross crusty pieces on skin that's already a little worse for the wear.
For all-day coverage: When you need something that won't budge no matter how sad the movie (or how hot the temp), the Allure beauty department loves Lancôme Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer and Estée Lauder Doublewear Stay-in-Place Concealer: Both are creamy liquids (not too runny like many liquids can be). Once in place, they don't budge—or sink into and accentuate lines.
For extra brightening: Jane Iredale CircleDelete is a solid formula that you can easily apply with fingertips: First dab on the yellow-based concealer that's on one side of the compact, then top it with the lighter shade. Likewise, DuWop Circle Block comes in a double-chamber pot with a salmon-colored covering cream that goes on really opaque, then a concealer that blends everything.Bargain buy: For less than 10 bucks, the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Set comes with three concealer shades so you can mix and match to find your best hue, a soft powder to set it in place, and two brushes that are teeny-tiny but actually get the job done, and well.
