CTA: SHOP CONCEALER SKIN PREP WHAT'S INCLUDED Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel Your targeted eye-area skincare. Hydrates. Cushions. Helps smooth the look of fine lines. Helps the eye area look softer and more conditioned over time. And when you wear makeup, it gives concealer a better-prepared surface. Water Balm Your moisturizing seal and smoothing step. Water Balm goes right over Eye Gel to add another layer of hydration and cushion. It helps lock everything in while creating a soft, smooth, makeup-ready finish. Together, they are your concealer skin prep. Eye Gel first. Water Balm on top. Concealer after. WHAT IS THE CONCEALER SKIN PREP KIT? The Concealer Skin Prep Kit is a two-step skincare routine made specifically for the skin underneath your concealer. It exists for the person who keeps buying new concealers but keeps getting the same result. Dry-looking under-eyes. Concealer settling into lines. Cakey texture by midday. Powder making everything look worse. Instead of adding another makeup product, this kit starts with the skin. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted hydration and peptide care. Water Balm goes over it to cushion, moisturize, and create a smoother-looking finish. Then you apply your concealer. Great skincare. Better makeup. WHY DOES THIS KIT EXIST? Because concealer cannot hide dry-looking texture without sitting on top of it. And more powder does not add hydration. If every concealer you try ends up settling into the same lines or looking dry in the same places, the formula in your concealer may not be the only thing worth changing. Look underneath it. Your under-eye area needs skincare too. This kit gives it hydration. Cushion. Moisture. Peptide care. A smoother-looking finish. And a simple routine that works whether you wear makeup that day or not. WHY EYE GEL + WATER BALM? Think of them like PB&J. They do different jobs. They just make more sense together. Eye Gel goes first. It gives the delicate eye area targeted hydration and peptide care. It helps the area feel cushioned and helps soften the look of fine lines. Water Balm goes on top. It adds another layer of hydration. It helps seal everything in. And its smoothing texture creates a soft-focus finish before makeup. Then comes concealer. Now your concealer is going over hydrated, cushioned, smoother-looking skin. Not another layer of primer. Skincare is the prep. TWO SKINCARE STEPS. ONE BETTER CANVAS. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel What it does as skincare Hydrates the delicate eye area. Helps the skin feel cushioned and comfortable. Helps smooth the look of fine lines. Supports a softer, more resilient-looking eye area with consistent use. Helps the under-eye area look brighter and more even. Why makeup wearers care Dry-looking skin can make concealer look dry too. Eye Gel gives concealer a hydrated, smoother-looking surface to sit on. That means makeup can apply more evenly and visible settling can look less obvious. Water Balm What it does as skincare Delivers lasting hydration. Helps skin feel softer and more supple. Supports a comfortable moisture barrier with ceramides and amino acids. Helps seal in hydration. Creates a smooth, conditioned finish. Why makeup wearers care Water Balm goes over your eye care to add cushion and smooth the surface. Its texture helps create that soft-focus, almost photo-filter-looking finish Sonia wants before concealer. No extra primer layer. No piling more makeup on top of dry-looking skin. SKINCARE THAT DOES MORE THAN PREP These formulas were not created just to make makeup look better for a few hours. They are daily skincare. 4-Peptide Complex: Included Supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin around the eye area with consistent use. Amino Acid Complex: Included Water Balm contains a full amino acid complex to support hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin. Ceramides: Included Help support the skin's moisture barrier and keep dry-looking skin feeling cushioned. Niacinamide: Included Supports a brighter, more even-looking eye area. Squalane: Included Adds lightweight moisture and helps the delicate eye area feel soft and supple. Hydrolyzed Silk: Included Helps Water Balm create its soft, silky, smoothing finish on the skin. WHY THE FORMULAS WORK SO WELL TOGETHER Eye Gel brings targeted eye care. Water Balm brings the seal. Eye Gel delivers: Peptides Niacinamide Glucosyl Ceramide Squalane Glycerin Skin-smoothing texture ingredients Water Balm delivers: Ceramide 3 A full amino acid complex Glycerin Sodium PCA Betaine Hydrolyzed Silk Fermented Rice Extract Skin-smoothing silicones The result is a routine that addresses both sides of the problem. Care for the skin. Then create a smoother surface for makeup. SONIA'S UNDER-EYE SKIN PREP TECHNIQUE Want the full makeup-artist method? Add Water Elixir before the two products in this kit. Water Elixir is sold separately. Step 1: Water Elixir Press a thin layer around the eye area. Use it underneath the eye and above the eye area as your first lightweight hydration step. Do not drench the skin. A thin layer is enough. Step 2: Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel Apply a small amount along the orbital bone. Use your ring finger. Tap gently. Do not drag or rub. Give it a moment to settle into the skin. Step 3: Water Balm Press a thin layer of Water Balm right over your eye prep. This is Sonia's finishing step. It adds cushion. Helps seal in hydration. And creates that soft, smooth, photo-filter-looking finish before concealer. Step 4: Let it settle Your skin should feel hydrated and smooth. Not wet. Not slippery. Not heavily coated. Step 5: Apply concealer Use a thin layer. Add more only where you actually need it. Then use powder only where you need it. Water Elixir hydrates. Eye Gel targets + smooths. Water Balm cushions + seals. Then makeup. SONIA'S SECRET WAS NEVER MORE CONCEALER As a professional makeup artist, Sonia learned that dry-looking under-eyyes do not usually look better when you keep adding product. More concealer can look heavier. More powder can make dry-looking texture more obvious. So instead of starting with makeup, she started with hydration. A lightweight layer first. Targeted eye care next. Then a thin layer of Water Balm over everything to cushion and smooth the finish. That became her prep technique for dry, texture-prone under-eyes. Prep first. Concealer second. HOW TO USE THE KIT WITHOUT WATER ELIXIR You do not need Water Elixir to use the Concealer Skin Prep Kit. The kit works as a simple two-step routine. 1. Apply Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel Use a small amount. Tap gently around the orbital area. 2. Apply Water Balm on top Use a thin layer. Press it into the skin. 3. Let the layers settle The area should feel soft and cushioned rather than wet. 4. Apply concealer Use a thin layer. Add only where needed. Eye Gel. Water Balm. Concealer. Simple. YOUR CONCEALER MAY NOT NEED MORE POWDER You know what happens. Your concealer starts settling. So you powder it. Then the area looks drier. So you add more concealer. Now it looks heavier. By noon, the makeup you used to make your eyes look better is making every bit of texture more obvious. Stop adding. Start underneath. Hydrate. Cushion. Smooth. Then use less makeup where you can. WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE PLACEHOLDER TIMELINE Final timing should be validated against customer review data before publication. Instantly Skin feels hydrated, cushioned, and smoother. The eye area feels softer and better prepared before concealer. Water Balm creates an immediate silky, soft-focus finish on the surface. After 1 Week Skin may feel more consistently hydrated and comfortable. Dry-looking texture may appear less obvious. Concealer may apply more evenly as the skin underneath stays better conditioned. After 1 Month The eye area may look smoother and more conditioned with consistent skincare. The peptide eye care continues to support the look of smoother, more resilient skin. And the daily hydration habit gives makeup a better starting point every time you wear it. REAL SKIN MOVES We are not going to tell you your concealer will never crease. Your eyes move. You smile. You squint. You blink. Some settling is normal. The goal is not to erase every line. The goal is to give concealer hydrated, smoother-looking skin underneath it so the makeup looks less dry, less heavy, and less obvious. That is a promise we can stand behind. THIS KIT IS FOR YOU IF... Your concealer settles into fine lines. Your under-eyes look dry after makeup. Powder makes the area look worse. Concealer looks good when you first apply it and cakey later. Your current eye cream feels too heavy under concealer. You keep changing concealers and getting the same result. You want skincare that also makes sense under makeup. You want fewer unnecessary layers. You want to use less powder. You want your concealer to look more like makeup on skin and less like product sitting on top. THE SKINCARE BENEFITS Helps smooth the look of fine lines The Eye Gel uses a four-peptide complex designed to support smoother, more resilient-looking skin with consistent use. Deeply hydrates Glycerin, squalane, Sodium PCA, betaine, sorbitol, and other hydration-supporting ingredients help keep dry-looking skin feeling soft and comfortable. Helps support the moisture barrier Ceramides and amino acids help support comfortable, hydrated skin. Softens + cushions The combination of eye-area hydrators and Water Balm creates the cushioned feel dry under-eyes are often missing. Supports a more even-looking eye area Niacinamide supports a brighter, more even-looking appearance around the eyes. Creates a smooth, soft-focus finish Water Balm's hydrolyzed silk and smoothing texture ingredients help create a silky surface before makeup. WHY NOT JUST BUY ANOTHER EYE CREAM? Because this kit is not built around the idea that your eye cream lives in a separate universe from your makeup. You wear concealer. Your skincare needs to work with that. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted care. Water Balm gives that skincare the moisturizing seal and smoothing finish Sonia uses before makeup. You get the skincare benefits even when you wear nothing on top. And when you do wear concealer, your skin is already prepped. WHY NOT JUST USE WATER BALM? Because Eye Gel and Water Balm have different jobs. Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted peptide care and lightweight hydration. Water Balm goes over it to add cushion, moisture, and a smoothing finish. One does not replace the other in this routine. Target first. Seal second. DO I NEED PRIMER? No. You do not need a separate primer with this routine. Your skincare is your skin prep. Eye Gel prepares the eye area through hydration and smoothing care. Water Balm completes the prep by adding moisture, cushion, and a soft-focus finish. Let everything settle. Then apply your makeup. HOW MUCH SHOULD I USE? Less than you probably think. Eye Gel Use a small amount. A thick layer is not better. Tap it gently around the orbital area. Water Balm Use a thin layer over the eye prep. Your skin should feel smooth and cushioned. Not coated. Too much skincare underneath concealer can create unnecessary movement. SHOULD I USE POWDER? You can. But you may not need as much. If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry or makes lines more obvious, try using it only where you actually need it. Prep first. Use a thin layer of concealer. Then decide if powder is necessary. Do not powder automatically just because someone told you that you have to. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS BOTH SIDES Sonia Roselli has worked as a professional makeup artist since 1990. She is also a licensed esthetician. That matters. She understands what skin needs. And she understands what happens when you put concealer on it five minutes later. The products were designed around both sides of the mirror. Great skincare. Better makeup.

It is daily eye skincare with a four-peptide complex, hydration-supporting ingredients, and a texture designed to work well underneath concealer. Is Water Balm a moisturizer? Yes. Water Balm is a daily moisturizer and smoothing skincare step. In this routine, it is layered over Eye Gel to help cushion the eye area and seal in hydration. Can I use this kit without makeup? Yes. Both products are skincare. Use them whether you wear concealer that day or not. Can I use the products morning and night? Yes. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is designed for morning and evening use. Water Balm can also be used as part of your daily skincare routine. Will the kit stop concealer from creasing? We do not promise zero creasing. Faces move. Some settling is normal. The goal is to hydrate and smooth the look of the skin underneath so concealer can apply more evenly and look less dry. Why does my concealer settle into fine lines? Dry-looking skin, too much product underneath, heavy concealer, and too much powder can all make visible settling more obvious. The eye area also moves constantly. Better skin prep gives the concealer a better surface to sit on. What if my concealer looks dry even when I use eye cream? Your eye cream may not be giving you the right combination of hydration, texture, and makeup compatibility. Try using a small amount of Eye Gel followed by a thin layer of Water Balm. Let the layers settle before applying concealer. Can I put Water Balm around my eyes? Yes, in this routine Water Balm is pressed over the Eye Gel as the moisturizing and smoothing layer. Use a small amount. Can I put Water Balm on my whole face too? Yes. Water Balm is a face moisturizer. You can use it over the face as your final moisturizing skincare step before sunscreen and makeup. How long should I wait before concealer? Allow the skincare to settle before applying makeup. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is documented to settle for approximately 60 to 90 seconds before concealer. When layering Water Balm on top, wait until the final layer feels smooth and settled rather than wet or slippery. How much concealer should I use? Start thin. Add more only where you need additional coverage. Using more concealer does not automatically make the area look smoother. Should I use powder after concealer? Only if you need it. If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry, use less or apply it only to areas that need setting. Will this get rid of dark circles? The kit is not designed to remove genetic or structural dark circles. It helps care for the eye area and creates a better-prepared surface for the concealer you use to even the appearance of darkness. Will the Eye Gel erase wrinkles? No. It is cosmetic skincare. The peptide complex supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use. It does not erase wrinkles or stop facial movement. Is the kit fragrance-free?
