A matte bronzer should always be in arms reach for contouring those chiselled cheeks. But you may now know that a really good bronzer like Bahama Mama can also double as an eyeshadow – simple coat a fluffy brush in the product and sweep over your crease in windscreen wiper motions to create depth and definition to your peepers.

3. The Balm Time Balm Concealer

Concealer is great for hiding blemishes or dark spots that appear when you wish they didn’t. However a good, creamy concealer can also be used to highlight under your eyes, concealing dark bags and redness that 5 hours of sleep every night so readily exposes. Simply dip your ring finger into the creamy pot of Time Balm Concealer and apply in an upside down triangle under each eye. Literally turn back the clock!

With these three best selling, multi-functioning The Balm products – you’ve got the basics for any makeup look. Simply apply a flick of mascara and a hint of lippie and you’re out the door in 5 – perfect when you’re trying to catch as many winks of beauty sleep as possible. Shop the whole range here.
