It's already shaping up to be the year of clear, radiant skin. Beauty trends are leaning away from intense eye makeup and toward a glowy, glassy, glossy canvas.

When it comes to achieving a luminous complexion, skipping concealer is a big no-no—especially in some specific instances.

Whether you were up late working, drinking, or sneezing, there will always be some tell-tale evidence. Handily, Maybelline New York's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer is a cult-favorite formula that comes in clutch. Use it under the eyes, on red spots, or as all-over foundation in a pinch.

Here, four situations where concealer is an absolute lifesaver (plus how it can help avoid future circles). Skip at your own peril.

When you were out super late (and may or may not be hungover)...

Consider this concealer a magic eraser for those shadowy areas under your eyes. High pigment payoff conceals dark circles on the spot, and Haloxyl is the star ingredient that helps with brightening. Whether you're hungover or just exhausted, concealer is your saving grace.

When you're feeling under the weather with a red, angry nose...

Bless you! If you've been hearing that a lot lately, you're not the only one riding the struggle bus out of Sniffle Town, USA. When the going gets tough and your nose gets red, dab the micro-corrector applicator's sponge tip around your nostrils for a soothing, redness-erasing effect.

When you're coming from a workout with limited gym-bag space...

Chances are you probably don't carry a fully stocked makeup bag in your purse (hello rogue mascara, meet bobby pin from 2001). If your fitness MO is catching a class when you can, be prepared for after by always keeping Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer in your bag. Its portability speaks for itself; the creamy texture means you'll be fine without primer, goji berry helps brighten, and the clever applicator lets you lightly highlight and contour.

Giant Italian-Style Hoagie

Wrap entire hoagie tightly in plastic wrap, then cut crosswise into 4 even sections.

The practice dates back to 1995, but has gained significant traction in recent years thanks to new technology—and YouTube and Instagram, where the mesmerizing (albeit bloody) process stars in tens of thousands of videos. Here, dermatologist Macrene Alexiades , MD, PhD, who has published extensive research on microneedling, along with fellow Yale clinical professor and dermatologist Mona Gohara , MD demystify the multi-purpose treatment. Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin. Simply put, microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation, explains Macrene. The most popular (and cost effective) microneedling device, known as a dermaroller , is made up of micro-fine needles that range in diameter from 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters.
