Whether it's because you've had a late night, an early morning or some evil combination of both, some days (AKA every day) you just need a little more help when it comes to looking wide awake. Sure, you could layer eye cream and concealer and color corrector and brightener. Or, you could just reach for one of the new multi-tasking eye products that combine all of those benefits (and more) in one convenient step. Here, seven of our favorites that will get the job done when you need to look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like, now.
This newbie delivers both instant effects and long-term results. Think immediate brightening and de-puffing, plus fewer lines and wrinkles after four weeks. Not to mention that it also contains chemical-free SPF 35 to protect the sensitive skin around your eyes (a VERY important quality).
It's not just discoloration under your eyes that can make you look tired—redness on your lids can contribute to a less-than-rested appearance, too. Available in three shades, this hydrating makeup-skin care hybrid counteracts redness to brighten your eyes (whether or not you put shadow on top) and also contains a host of vitamins, ceramides and other anti-aging ingredients to combat sagging and spots.
There's a skin-loving serum mixed in with this full-coverage concealer, which pulls double (quadruple?) duty to K.O. dark circles and fine lines, brighten skin and de-puff your peepers. Even better: It comes in a whopping 14 shades and has a specially designed applicator that makes it easier than ever to reach all those tiny spots around your eyes.
This isn't your momma's concealer. In fact, it's not really a concealer at all but more of a hydrating, eye-brightening, dark circle-eliminating wonder product. Available in three illuminating shades, dab three small dots under each eye, then blend in to activate a special water burst technology (AKA instant hydration). Akoya pearl extract addresses the three causes of dark circles: thinning skin, blue undertones and pigmentation. Plus, you can also use it as a touch-up product all day long.
