We’ve rounded up quick-fix {concealers} to hide the most obvious sign of a night on the tiles (what hangover?). Nothing says ‘late night’ like under-eye shadows - and whether you binge-watched a box set or took yourself out-out for festive excesses (“cin cin!”) - there’s no better {make up} foil than a brightening cover-up hastily blended en route to the office. It needs to be creamy and totally seamless, with juuuuust the right whisper of pink to detract from the shadows. A hint of light-scattering shimmer to dial up the brightness? Yes, puh-leeease.

With such an abundance of choice on the market, we’ve done the hard job of curating the ultimate line-up to quickly disg-eyes your dark circles (and signs of late-night misadventures).
