ok, so i am notorious for having dark undereye circles. and i mean, deep dark looks like i went 12 rounds every day of my life dark circles. i have tried passing them off as allergy shiners but alas, when allergy season has passed, the dark circles remain. i think it may be hereditary but i more blame my kids who have stolen my youth with their up-all-night unsanctioned antics.
i have tried literally everything short of surgery to lighten these babies as i feel they make me look sooooooooooooooooo tired. and old. and sad.
enter erase paste by benefit. the clouds parted. the heavens sang. and my deep dark undereye circles soon became a thing of the past.
available in 3 tones, i opt for the middle one which is actually lighter than anything named "medium" should be. the smallest dab conceals/obliterates/makes history of these heinous dark circles. using a ring finger (this being the weakest digit and the one least likely to cause much damage to the delicate eye area), push in the erase paste, rolling finger from one side to the other, kinda like getting fingerprinted. this gentle pushing warms the erase paste and blends it into the skin like butter. i usually top with a darker (read: closer to my skin tone) concealer from rimmel, that sadly is only available in the UK and voila! hasta la bye-bye dark circles. a brand-new me.
and when a co-worker truthfully determines your age to be "no older than 28" - you know you've got a keeper on your hands. not the co-worker. the erase paste.
erase paste by benefit, $26 available in 3 shades online @ www.sephora.com or at benefit counters and stores nationwide.
