If You Could Only Have One Beauty Staple, What Would It Be?

If I asked you to give up your entire makeup collection and keep just one product, what’s the one thing you’d hold onto like your life depended on it? Because I’ve thought about this….a lot. Not in a desert island kind of way, but in the sense of what’s truly essential to me.

For me, it’s concealer. Not foundation, not lip balm, not mascara. Concealer. Because the right one makes you look like you’ve had sleep, water, peace and quiet even when you’ve had none of the above. It lets you cheat brightness under the eyes, lift the corners of your face, hide that spot that always flares up when you have somewhere to be, and even out your skin without masking it (as long as you get the technique right).
