Psst! Want the secret to making your baby blues bigger and brighter? We picked the brains of our elite Her World Beauty Clubbers for the SOS stuff they swear by to “iron” out the lumps and bumps under their eyes, and they were only too happy to oblige.
Check out the emergency eye elixirs they use to obliterate orbital shadows and dark circle discolouration – some of their unorthodox selections (mascara, anyone?) might even raise an eyebrow or two. (Sidebar: Are any of the following products your personal picks as well? Keep the beauty convo flowing and let us know!)
