Concealing signs of fatigue and other imperfections, brightening and opening the gaze, caring for the eye contour… all with just one concealer? This is the challenge most cosmetic brands are attempting to meet. Here we reveal 7 standout products.
Following the excesses of the holiday season and lack of sleep, it’s not uncommon to exhibit some signs of fatigue. The first signs are often the appearance of bluish under-eye circles and more pronounced fine lines around the eye.. To combat these, remains our best ally. However, finding a formula that meets all our criteria is essential. It must be opaque enough to hide imperfections without settling into fine lines. It should be easy to blend, match our skin tone as closely as possible, and provide a luminous finish. Additionally, it must be enriched with care ingredients, known for moisturizing the eye area and eliminating the dreaded panda eyes. We unveil our current must-haves.
THe most illuminating: Touche Éclat High Cover Stylo, Yves Saint Laurent Beauté
The iconic Touche Éclat highlighter from Yves Saint Laurent has evolved into a concealer. The Touche Éclat High Cover Stylo combines a radiant boost with high coverage for a unified complexion and a rested look throughout the day. Its fluid texture, highly concentrated in pigments, easily conceals under-eye circles and other imperfections (redness, dark spots, acne scars, etc). Its formula, enriched with caffeine, vitamin E, and ruscus (a plant resembling holly), stimulates microcirculation to combat signs of fatigue. Finally, calendula extract from the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Ourika gardens in Morocco soothes the delicate skin around the eyes.
