Make-up artist Liberty Shaw gives us her top tips of the trade to hide dark circles and reduce puffy eyes in an instant.

“If you have time, don’t underestimate what a couple of cold tea bags or cucumber slices which have been put in the fridge can do.  It’s important no to use too thick a concealer as this can drag on the skin and look ‘cakey’.

“Make sure you are concealing the dark vein that runs from the inner eye round and above the eye; this really makes you look tired. Be sure to blend, blend, and blend again to avoid the reverse panda eye.

“Good brands for lighter skin are Max Factor, Boi-ing from Benefit and Chanel.  For darker skin, try Make Up Forever, MAC and Illamasqua.”  Liberty Shaw, Make-up Artist.
