As we roll through October, take those dark circles to task!
Is there anything quite like seeing yourself in a Zoom meeting and realising just how dark those dark circles under your eyes are!?
Digital versions of ourselves can be harsh and they certainly exaggerate imperfections. If you already need an autumnal beauty boost, taking your bags to task – firming and brightening the delicate area under your eyes – can really help your self-esteem.
This week, we’re highlighting the hardest working products to energise, firm, brighten and de-puff for the most gorgeous eyes!
