What You Actually Need: The Top 10

I often forget that not everyone has the same affinity for make-up that Jules and I have, and that for most people, the world of cosmetics is a daunting one.

One of my biggest face frustrations is concealing my under-eye area, which is naturally dark and dehydrated.
