MUA’s Pro Base Prime & Conceal Correcting Cream, £2, cleverly works to cancel out the blue/purple tones of dark circles to boost the effects of your concealer. Blend a small amount around the eye area with a brush or sponge – don’t worry if some of it is slightly visible, you’ll cover it up in a minute.

When it comes to concealer, you want to look for a blendable, lightweight formula with light-reflecting pigments to brighten the area. By Terry’s Touche Veloutee, £38.50, ticks all the boxes, and comes in a handy click pen applicator to touch up throughout the day.

Another option is NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, £24, which has a wide shade range and blends like a dream. And if you’re prone to oily skin, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, £4.19, has received rave reviews from the likes of Tanya Burr and beyond.

Blend with fingers or a brush as before, making sure to take the product right into the inner corner of the eye where shadows are most prominent.
