The problem with blemishes (besides everything) is that you have a whole multitude of concerns to deal with all at once.
-
Isolating the underlying cause (also known as a combination of screaming “WHY, GOD, WHY?!” and throwing what you thought what your perfectly able cleanser across the room)
-
Healing the spot (also known as “Making the damn thing go away and never come back') and
-
Hiding it (also known as “Let's pretend none of this ever happened')
Bibi tipped us off to Tarte’s Maracuja Creaseless Concealer, and it's a serious multi-tasker: we’re talking moisturizing, brightening, and covering up all in one. It’s creamy and thick, which makes squeezing the product out of the tube a little tough but also means some serious staying power. It somehow—magic? maracuja!—doesn’t fall into the fine lines under your eyes (so, great for tired mornings-after), and it’s light enough that we can smooth some on and forget about it. Maracuja oil is super-rich in vitamin C (hence the upped radiance), vitamin E, and essential fatty acids. It also has some anti-aging oomph, so while you’re covering up what irks you, you’re actually helping your skin out. The above steps 1-3? Check, check, check.
