Eye Candy

Suffer (or if you are like us, think you suffer) from dark circles under or around your eyes? Let us introduce you to your new "Best Friend" (and cosmetic bag staple):

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener

Packed with lots of good stuff for your skin [e.g., vitamin E, peptides, and marine collagen (which helps repair and disguise pesky fine lines & wrinkles)], this little "miracle" will help make the skin under your eyes instantly look brighter and more "awake". Designed to be a primer for your concealer, you can wear this by itself (depending on your skin tone of course).

As some of you may have already discovered, concealer alone won't necessarily win your dark circles battle for you. For a battle victory, apply Photo Op under your eyes (and in the inner corners of your eyes and on your orbital bone for an even more youthful look), and blend it outward using your fingers or a concealer brush. Next apply concealer (no more than 1-2 shades lighter than your foundation shade) to this same area and VOILA! Score: 1 - Team You, 0 - Team Dark Circles!

We know, we know! You've tried everything so you are skeptical - but trust us! This gem didn't win the Self Magazine Beauty Award for Best Highlighter for nothing!
