When I get my makeup kit ready and stocked for my next assignment, there are essentials that I must always have with me.

The Instant Light- Eye Perfecting Base by Clarins (Retail $24.50) is one of those products I never leave home without, simply because it works wonders on any of my clients and is multi-functional.

It’s an eyelid primer, which gives the eyelids an instant pick me up. The color is a sheer nude tone, unlike traditional crème-based products that have a heavy, creamy finish.

What I like about it most is that I can also use it to instantly create a natural luminous finish over the eyes if I choose to use it alone. It’s a quick and easy fix anytime.

How to Use:

Apply a small amount with a medium size firm brush or your fingertips. Start at the base of the lash line and blend into the lid until you’ve reached the brow bone. Remember to blend evenly until the product disappears. Apply eye shadows over the lids after, or use alone.
