Don’t be dull

For long days that turn into long nights that in turn leads to lazy, slow mornings, the skin tone becomes the biggest teller. Even your regular foundation turns ashy on the skin and you wonder why. Want to wipe that off? Use a lavender concealer. The blue tones in the concealer will cancel the yellow tones in your skin, making it brighter. The NYX HD Concealer is a good one.

The Smashbox Cosmetics Colour Correcting Stick in Get Less Red is a great choice.

Diminish Dark Circles

Who doesn’t have dark circles? But no one seems to brighten and even them out with a concealer. Only make them look lighter or worse, greyer. To negate this issue, you need a red corrector. If your skin tone is light or medium, choose an orange shade. If you’re darker, opt for red. Try the Cover FX Correct Click in Brick Red for the perpetual case of dark circles.
