As the proud ownner of hereditary dark circles (thanks, mom! thanks, dad!), the perfect concealer is my version of the holy grail. Now, don’t get me wrong…there are several that do a great job (Bobbi Brown and Cle de Peau come to mind, among others) but I can never stop that nagging voice in the back of mind that says, “Surely, you can do better.” It turns out that the voice was right…I’m now loving tarte’s new Dark Circle Defense.
This intense coverage concealer has a drier formula, which leads to really amazing staying power. Simply dab a bit onto the stiff concealer brush (it’s great quality and included with purchase, talk about value!) and brush under eyes to cover dark circles and refract light.
Best of all, with 100% natural ingredients like mineral pigments, honey extract, vitamin e and soybean extract, the results delivered by Dark Circle Defense are lasting – in fact, 100% of test subjects reported at least a minor reduction in under eye puffiness over the course of four weeks – pretty awesome, right? I’m looking forward to seeing if the same holds true for me.
My only caveat is that just two shades of Dark Circle Defense are available right now – light/medium and medium/deep. I found a match in the first but those with a porcelein complexion as well as those on the darker end of the scale are unlikely to find a shade that works.
If you think that one of the shades will work for you, click here to snag your own for $32.
