Bright Eye Duo, £22 | MakeTheMake

This vitamin E illuminating balm and a hyaluronic gloss pot duo are best used together to create fresher, more radiant under eye. Start by applying the illuminating balm first – the pearlescent tone will cancel out any harsh, dark tones – before using the concealer to add some coverage. Finally, use a finely milled powder to set everything in place. The best bit? The illuminating balm doubles up as a highlighter to add glow to your cheekbones.

With peachy undertones, it combats dark circles and discoloration while the lightweight formula never sinks into fine lines or creases. Working to conceal, correct and highlight, this is a great all-rounder.
