Facebook is possibly the worst way to discover embarrassing imperfections – one unflattering photo can cause ounces upon ounces of insecurity a woman about town just doesn’t have the time for! With insecurity brings stress, and with stress brings a tired eye, and tired-looking eyes are never pretty on film. When a good night’s rest and cucumber slices aren’t enough, the following concealers will minimize veins and discoloration of the eyelids – you’ll bolt to every camera in sight with all of that restored confidence!
