When you’re strapped for time but need to look your best, these two eye makeup products will get the job done fast.

• Step 1: Apply eyeshadow. Position the darker shade of Laneige Twotone Shadow Bar, $34 (available in four shades), on your upper lash line and glide it over the eyelid. This brightens the eye contour instantly.

• Step 2: Define with eyeliner. Majolica Majorca Gel Liquid Liner, $22.90 (available in four shades), is a waterproof and smudge-proof formula that creates a glossy, intense line. It has a soft brush tip that allows for smooth and stable lining.

WHAT I’M LOVING...

Beauty editor Simone Wu’s picks for this month.

1.“To conceal my greyish under-eye circles, I need a peach-toned concealer to correct the greyness and a yellow-toned one on top of that to match my skin tone. That’s why I love Etude House Big Cover Concealer Kit, $15.90 – it covers my dark circles effectively with its ‘blendable’ shades.”

2. “To clear my pores of excess sebum, debris and dead skin cells, I clean my skin with Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Retexturizing Pads, $85 (50 pads). Enriched with amino acids and glycolic acid, it leaves my skin radiant and smooth, and helps loosen up blackheads, too.”
