This powder gave my face an instant glow, even after just five hours of sleep—and it's currently on sale.

While concealer does its best to cover up my dark circles, which are a result of my ongoing struggles with insomnia, I was hoping a combination of both concealer and powder might provide a better solution. When I first heard about the new Kosas Cloud Set Brightening Powder, I was eager to see if it could make me look less like someone who had spent the night tossing and turning. Even better, it’s currently on sale for just $29 (down from $36) as part of the Friends and Family Sale, running until Tuesday, October 1.

The new Kosas powder is a brightening version of their best-selling Cloud Set Setting Powder. It includes the same skin-loving ingredients like pore-minimizing peony extract, skin-softening bamboo extract, and smoothing passion fruit extract. There are also three brightening shades available: I tried the pink "Candy" shade, which is perfect for my dark circles with a greenish-blue undertone. Other options include "Buttery," a yellow shade to counteract purple-toned dark circles, and "Peachy," which is ideal for blue-toned dark circles.

Kosas Cloud Set Brightening Powder is a must-have for creating a smooth, luminous finish.

For a brightened undereye, I first apply a light concealer, then gently press the brightening powder using Real Technique's Miracle Makeup Setting Puff for a flawless finish, or I use a soft angled brush for a lighter touch. Either method leaves me delighted with the result.

In the before picture, my undereye circles are clearly visible and in need of some attention. I didn't use any other products, simply dabbing the area with Kosas' Revealer Concealer and then applying the brightening powder with a small puff. The airy, baked formula effortlessly glides on, providing an instant lifting effect. The after image clearly shows the noticeable smoothing result.

I appreciate that this is a compact pressed powder, unlike the messy loose powders which are a hassle to travel with. I wore the Cloud Set Brightening Powder for eight hours without any touch-ups, and my undereye area stayed bright and smooth. There was no creasing at all, which is a huge plus.

If you're feeling exhausted and want to fake that well-rested look, Kosas Cloud Set Brightening Powder is your perfect solution.
