I started to get really bad circles in the past few months of school. Stress + lack of sleep = raccoon eyes. Not cute!
But finding makeup that spares the rest of the world from my scary dark circles is so much fun! Let me introduce you to my little friend, theBalm Time Balm concealer in Medium (CAD $24).
Let the side by side photo speak for itself!
Naked right eye vs. Concealed left eye (appears right, of course)
As you can see, the coverage is phenomenal. Just make sure you get the inner corner of your eyes too with a small concealer brush. I use the one from Quo.
Don’t forget to set!
The pot concealer is very creamy, so make sure you set it with powder right after. Unfortunately this does crease at times, which makes it fall just short of holy grail status. I am currently using my Maybelline Mineral Power Loose Foundation over it with a fluffy eye brush, and it’s been working okay for me.
Run, don’t walk…
…to Sephora now! This has been a huge step up from all the other concealers I’ve tried in a while. It is quite expensive, but I’ll gladly spend the money to look a little more rested than I really am.
