Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer has you covered

One of my biggest problem areas is my dark under eye circles. The days just seem to be getting longer and my work load keeps growing, which leaves me with very little time to catch up on my beauty sleep! I’ve discovered the next best thing to actually getting that eight hours of sleep I so desperately crave and need. Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer, $32 at Sephora, and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, $24 at Nordstrom.com, gives you that one-two punch to knock out those dark circles and fake a good nights sleep. First and foremost, as with any make-up application, prepping your skin is essential to how your make up is going to wear throughout the day. Start with a moisturizing eye cream to help combat fatigue and fine lines. Next apply a good primer. Now you are ready to work your magic. I apply my Hourglass Concealer with my fingers but you could certainly use a brush as well. This concealer is also good at covering blemishes and minor imperfections. The texture is super creamy and highly pigmented so it covers and hydrates beautifully. Next, apply a light dusting of the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder on top to set and brighten your entire under eye area. This combination is pure perfection. There’s no need to hide behind those oversized sunglasses for even a second longer. So even when you didn’t get that perfect nights sleep, you can fool everyone. It’s all about faking it!
