Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector

$49, Clinique

If your family and friends have been not so lovingly calling you raccoon eyes, it’s time to embrace (and apply) Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. Suitable for all skin types (raccoon included), this under eye concealer brightens your entire eye area, giving you an instant wide awake look. And while the 40-year-plus skincare brand’s chemists will tell you that the secret to this product’s success lies in its plumping and hydrating formula that makes the eye area’s thin skin less transparent while its cooling massage tip refreshes tired-looking eyes, we know better. This is the company who, back in 1968, brought us the 3-Step System—to cleanse, tone and moisturize—when all our beauty routine consisted of was a splash of water and dollop of cold cream. And they were right. Our skin has never looked and felt better. So now when Clinique says to camouflage our dark circles we do it…and you should too. Period.
