Modern life can be a bitch to our beauty, people! Step forward the miracle that is……CONCEALER: OUR KEY cosmetic weapon of choice, when in a hurry and zero time (or inclination) for a full face of makeup. Chuck in a lack of sleep, too much screen time, lack of fresh air, poor diet, the ageing process and so on; all these factors have a massive impact on our skin over the years and it is often the under eye zone in particular that gives the game away first. 

We expect a lot from our concealer and particularly our under-eye concealer.    Once applied:

• NO WAY, JOSÉ do we want our under eye concealer to crease, move, appear cakey or powdery (hell no….very ageing under the eyes)

• we most CERTAINLY DO WANT our chosen concealer to add luminosity, brightness, smooth the wrinkles, help conceal the ‘puff’, hide discolouration and frankly speaking we would like it to knock 10 years off us and to make us appear to enjoy 8 hours of unbroken sleep!  Quite a lot to expect from a product, no?!
