It can be used all over the face, so you can hide spots and rosacea as well as under the eyes. This concealer is subtly radiant and very rich. It doesn’t follow trends, the products are both age and complexion inclusive and every shade has a woman’s name.

Nudefix is great camouflage in this regard, as it emulates bare rather than luminous skin. If you have under-eye bags as well as dark circles, you won’t want to highlight the former with illuminating ingredients. I rate this cream concealer highly, it is perfume and alcohol-free and blends with some light tapping.

Best of all, this concealer comes in a choice of 23 shades. The sun protection is stronger than that of many SPF eye creams. It is waterproof and contains moisturising ingredients like Vitamin E. Those who wear a little makeup every day might try an SPF- enhanced concealer such as MAC’s instead. The trouble is that the natural, non-irritating equivalents of these UVA ingredients tend to leave a little white residue on the skin, so if you do choose them the most flattering buys come with a residue-concealing tint. The stinging will not cause permanent harm but the discomfort is unnecessary. Assuming your SPF is alcohol and perfume-free (both these ingredients are irritants), this problem is usually caused by UVA-filtering chemicals that absorb and dissipate radiation. I am often asked about sun protection that will not irritate sensitive eyes.
