I’m rarely a fan of products that claim to serve several purposes in one, but Redpoint’s Noc-Out Cover Up Compact may have swayed me.
This ingenious compact has three shades of concealer: Eye Disguise, Red Guard and Spot Cover. At first glance, the colors didn’t look like they’d match my skin well – but surprisingly, all of them [...]
