I wish I would have gotten a darker/brighter shade. Although, Puff was a bit light for my skin. And the Cloud Paint is a great eyeshadow or lip color. For example, the Lidstar in Moon is so light and shimmery, it is a perfect highlighter. So that makes them super easy to become multi use products. For starters, the Lidstar, Cloud Paint, and Balm Dotcom are all cream products. For my look, I used the Lidstar Glistening Eye Glow in Moon, Cloud Paint in Puff, Boy Brow in Brown, Birthday Balm Dotcom, and Lash Slick Mascara.Īfter swatching all of my new Glossier goodies, I started thinking about the versatility of the products.

From balms to brows to a hint of cheek, Glossier is perfect for the girl on the go. Honestly, it’s all about that dewy skin and enhancing what you’ve got. So that’s a total win for Glossier!Īlthough I normally go for a full glam/high maintenance kind of look, Glossier is all about the “no makeup” makeup. Lots of brands offer sets but don’t let you customize which colors you want. For example, The Makeup Set includes a Cloud Paint of your choice, a Boy Brow of your choice, and a mascara for $40. Notably, Glossier has some of the coolest customizable sets. But once I started shopping, I couldn’t stop. Of course I had to try the Balm Dotcom universal skin salve and the Cloud Paint cheek color. But their products are highly rated and oh so Instagrammable. I’m not a “cool girl” and my makeup look is usually far from “effortless”. Furthermore, I’ve tended to shy away from “cool girl” brands like Glossier. However, I tend to stay away from brands with childlike or gimmicky packaging. In general I seek brands with sleek packaging, good branding, and reputable products. Notably, we as shoppers tend to pick makeup brands that we relate to. Surprisingly, there are even brands who are known to be overhyped and not as effective as others. Others are known for being elite and expensive. For example, some brands are known for being cool and hip. Just like people, makeup brands have their own personalities. 'The skin under our eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on our face, so using a concealer with skin-loving ingredients is a no-brainer,' says Luna.JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Hyaluronic acid or glycerin are great if you have dry skin, vitamin C is ideal if you want to brighten up your eye area, and soothing allantoin and aloe vera are both good choices if your skin is sensitive. On the other hand, if you're on a mission to entirely banish those dark circles, opt for full coverage formula and watch them disappear.īe sure to scan the ingredients list of the dark circle concealers you’re considering, especially if you have specific skincare concerns such as dryness, dullness, or sensitivity. She recommends choosing lighter formulations if you have minimal pigmentation and prefer a natural, no-makeup-makeup look with the goal of minimizing rather than erasing dark circles. You'll also want to consider the opacity of the concealer, says Luna.

'Using a slightly lighter concealer adds radiance and, thus, makes your under eyes look brighter and more awake,' she explains. The key to finding the best shade of concealer for your dark circles is 'to look for a concealer that's one to two shades lighter than your foundation or natural skin color,' says Luna.
