it COSMETICS By Jamie Kern: Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage WaterproofConcealer with Collagen and Vitamins C & K

I can't say enough good things about this product. I have been using it for a long while and absolutely love it. I love that "it" covers my dark circles and utilizes a truly innovative technology to say "bye bye" to those stubborn under eye issues!

I could show you numerous pictures of women of all ethnicities yet look at my own pic?!! I pulled an all nighter and actually look semi-ok?!

 

 

 

 

Bye Bye Under Eye in Light

 

 

 

Yesterday I was exhausted yet did not sleep!

 

 

Bye Bye Undereye ($ 24) offers a waterproof, yet hydrating formula that stays put after application. There are high concentrations of Vitamins K, A, C, E and Hydrolyzed Collagen which are clinically proven to reduce under eye puffiness and discoloration while also strengthening the delicate skin under the eye area.

 

This product was created by working hand and hand with leading plastic surgeons in Brazil and is now used to conceal facial bruising and swelling on both the face and body of surgery patients in some of the most prestigious plastic surgeons offices in Brazil.

 

Bye Bye Undereye is great for all skin tones and comes in light (shown above), neutral medium (sampled/used), tan and deep and can be purchased at www.QVC.com , www.beauty.com , www.beauty360.com , www.skincare.com . www.itcosmetics.com , and in Canada on The Shopping Channel.

 

 

Founder Jamie Kern says, " Using your pinky finger, pat a bit of concealer into the small indents along each upper side of the nose, between the bridge and the inner corners of your eyes. The skin in this area thins as we age and appears more blue, like a dark under eye circle. Concealing this area is like an instant 8 hours of sleep!"
