Chanel lift lumiere eye contour concealer, £30.

Bobbi Brown creamy concealer kit, £22.50.
Lauren says: ‘I love this. Absorbs into skin brilliantly but doesn’t disappear. The powder is great, but the cream is so good you probably won’t need it. Use just one or the other, not both together.’

Philosophy Eye Hope, £40.80.
Lauren says: ‘Pleasant, smooth consistency, but I couldn’t really see or feel any difference. Made the eye feel more “awake”, but not ideal for me, especially for the price.’

Guerlain Precious Light, £26.50.
Lauren says: ‘A clear winner. I noticed a definite brightened appearance; my eyes looked clearer and more awake. Quite pricey, but worth it.’

Benefit eye bright pencil, £13.50.
Lauren says: ‘Smooth, creamy texture that goes on beautifully. It didn’t last too well on my water line (the bit between lash and eye), but fared better in the corner of my eye.’

Paul & Joe under eye concealer, £15.
Lauren says: ‘Good colour for my skin, and blended in well. Pretty scent, too. Quite runny; I prefer a thicker consistency that stays in place.
