Good Housekeeping USA – September 2019

APRIL SAYS: To minimize the look of lines and wrinkles, the key is

finding a light, creamy formula that glides over skin and is less likely

to settle into creases. When it comes to hiding dark circles, look for

a denser cover-up with a high level of pigment to mask their color,

which can range from brown due to skin hyperpigmentation to

blue and purple because of blood vessels visible through the thin

skin. For any type, tap the concealer on with a finger (rather

than spreading it around) to get the most complete coverage.

LAB RESULTS For wrinkles, try Estée Lauder Double Wear

Flawless Wear Concealer ($29, esteelauder.com); it tied for first

place in the Beauty Lab’s concealer test, beating the other formulas

with its silky texture and spreadability. To camouflage dark circles,

try the IT Cosmetics cover-up at left, which also came out on top,

earning a perfect score from the Lab’s makeup artist evaluator for

full coverage of even severe undereye discoloration.

What concealer works best for

wrinkles? How about on dark circles?

development of the organisms in the mouth which attack tooth

enamel and thus initiate the first stages of decay.”
