Let’s face it—you’re not always going to get 8 hours of sleep, but you can definitely look like you did. To eliminate dark circles and puffiness, you’re going to want to have these three cult classics in your beauty stash.
Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff
In order to achieve a hydrated, youthful look you have to start with skincare. Formulated with coffee beans, this eye cream instantly depuffs your under eye area. It’s pretty much an espresso shot for your eyes. The slight peachy pink tint to this eye cream instantly brightens and preps skin for makeup.
Becca Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector in Peach
The dark circle banisher. I feel like this product has faded into the background and frankly, we need to start talking about this product again. Sure there are other color correctors out there, but this one ranks at the top of my list. What’s even better is that you only need very little product. Tapped gently around the eye area it neutralizes dark circles, allowing for flawless makeup applications. It’s also great for hyper pigmentation. If you have medium-to-deep skin this will become your holy grail.
bareMinerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener
It’s with a heavy heart that I share this product with you. The first time I tried this product was five years ago at the bareMinerals boutique in Soho that is now closed. One of the makeup artist there tried this on me when I asked her for a product that could hide my dark circles and brighten my under eye area without looking cakey. It’s sheer to medium coverage but if used on top of a corrector on your no makeup makeup days, your eyes instantly look brighter. Lightly dust translucent setting powder and you’re good for the day. Even though I fell in love with this, I’m a beauty junkie and blogger so I soon decided to try something else, for no other reason than the fact that I wanted to try new product. It fell to the bottom of the stash, until while sifting through the giveaways at work, I came across the one and only tube and lo and behold it was in my shade. Right after that, I went online to order a few more, only to find out from my coworker that it has been discontinued. The agony, the despair. However, there are still a few retailers that carry it. If your skin tone is medium to deep click here to order. If you are fair to light-medium click here.
So here’s for to bright eyes!
