Getting ready for a wedding is all fun and games until you catch a glimpse of your under-eyes in the mirror. Between flying all day and staying out late celebrating at the welcome party, I was running on very little sleep when it came time to get ready for the big day. And with my fair skin making dark circles especially hard to hide, I needed a little extra beauty magic to look more awake than I actually felt.

Augustinus Bader’s The Eye Patches are designed to hydrate, brighten, and smooth the delicate eye area while helping reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.

But the real test? Whether they’d stay put while I got ready.

I’ve lost count of how many eye patches have slowly slid down my face while I’m doing my skincare, applying makeup, or running around trying to get out the door. Not exactly ideal when you’re on a wedding schedule and about to be in photos all evening!

Incredibly, these stayed right where I placed them and never slid down, even while I was doing my hair, applying makeup, and taking photos for hours. Even better, they left my under-eyes looking hydrated, brighter, and refreshed. 

And while you might think oh no! Augustinus Bader is too expensive! You can buy a single pack of these eye patches for just $24. The single packs are perfect for travel, and even feel amazing after a short stint in your hotel mini fridge.
