Oh lordy loo, I could go on and on about Hillary's "crying" bout this week. (For the record, she didn't actually cry, she just got a little verklempt is all. Check out Maureen Dowd's take on the subject here.) But we're here to talk skin, not politics, so I'll cut to the chase and recommend the best two products to come to the rescue should you actually, really cry during, before, or after a public meeting.

Patricia Wexler, another major female player (in the plastic surgery and dermatology sector anyway) came out with a fantastic eponymous line a few years ago for all us plebians that can't make it to her Park Avenue practice, which has a notoriously long, and I do mean LONG, waiting list. Try her Under-Eye Brightening Cream to brighten and tone used and abused tear-jerkers. For serious crying jags, there's BeneFit De-Puffing Action Eye Gel, which works just as well as cold tea bags, but it's about ten times easier to use and less messy, too. And don't forget ladies: It's okay to cry now and then, especially if you're extremely sleep deprived and running for the Oval Office. Jeez.
