Disguise your dark circles in less than two minutes

One of the biggest beauty bugbears out there, we share how to vanquish ever-determined dark circles.

Step 1: Prep the eye area with BECCA's new {Anti-Fatigue Under Eye Primer} which is chock-full of antioxidants and cooling cucumber extract to condition and de-puff the eye area.Step 2: Neutralise the blue tones with a buildable, peach or papaya-toned cream. BECCA's {Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector} has a sheer, ultra-dewy finish for seamless diffusion. Simply apply 2-3 dots beneath each eye using your fingertips, then pat repeatedly to 'melt' the make up for a 'real skin' finish.Step 3: Brighten with pearlescent particles. {BECCA} have triumphed again with their phenomenal {Under Eye Brightening Corrector} - trust us, this is the product your make up bag's been missing. With just a hint of iridescence to refract light and detract from signs of too-late nights, apply a thin layer and blur using a dampened Beautyblender {Micro Mini} for the most 'naturally rested' look.

Step 4:Conceal - choose a shade fractionally lighter than your base and draw a 'V' beneath each eye, extending from the inner and outer corners, ending in a point at the top centre of each cheek. Again from BECCA (are you sensing a theme here?), the beautiful {Aqua Luminous Perfecting Concealer} has a 'dewdrop' applicator for precise product application, while the ultra-fluid, water-rich formula disperses flawlessly - no risk of product migrating or flaking. Step 5: If you're susceptible to oiliness, lightly dust the area with setting powder. And guess who've just brought one out for this specific purpose? Yep, that's right - it's BECCA, whose {Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder} not only locks concealer in place, but contains light-scattering particles for extra luminosity.

Step 6: To amplify the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed effect, use BECCA's {Shimmering Skin Perfector Slimlight} to highlight the inner corner of each eye and trace a whisper-thin line underneath your lower lashes for that 'I've slept for eight hours' vibe (even when you've barely managed two).SHOP CONCEALER >>SHOP BECCA >>
