Speaking of products that might be able to pardon your bad behavior, there are days when even your nearest and dearest skin care staples will fail you. It's times like this when the truly amazing Amazing Concealer (an Allure editor's favorite class of '05), will be your best friend. How the hell they manage to do it I don't know: the pigment is concentrated enough to cover up anything, and I do mean anything, but the formula is silky and smooth enough to magically blend right into your skin so that it looks perfectly natural. Or supernatural, I guess. Plus, you only have to use a tiny amount to get the job done, so the $40 price tag totally evens out in the long run. Seriously though, once you try this stuff, nothing else will do ever again.
