Dark circles and I, we just don’t get along these days. Serious lack of sleep and this fickle weather we’ve been having (sunny and warm yesterday, pouring down and freezing cold today) means dark circles have successfully staked a claim on my face of late. I use a pretty decent eye cream that does help most days (Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair cream), but there are times when dark circles are here to stay and you just need a very quick fix.

There are two products that have been my best friends in combating those stubborn dark circles and they go hand in hand. The first is Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder in Pale Yellow. If, like me, you’ve always wanted to try the Ben Nye Banana Powder but it’s just too difficult to get your hand on one, you’d really get along with this Bobbi Brown alternative. It’s basically the same yellow tone powder but to me it’s much more brightening and it really sets your concealer or whatever you have underneath throughout the day, not to mention it comes in a much more convenient packaging. If you’ve owned the popular Bobbi Brown duo concealer kit you would be familiar with this product already as it’s the powder that comes with to set the concealer. I ran out of the powder from the kit ages ago (since it’s quite small) and have always wanted to just get the powder on its own because it’s simply the best at brightening your under eye area and setting your concealer.

And to apply the powder I have found the perfect tool in Bobbi Brown Eye Blender Brush. It’s just the softest, gentlest brush to use around your eye area and it’s also the perfect size to dust around the corner of your eyes, underneath and all over your lids. I’m a big fan of Bobbi Brown brushes anyway and this is another one that does not disappoint.

What’s the product (s) you swear by to brighten and banish dark circles?
