Sometimes your skin doesn't need coverage. It just needs light.

Instant Awake was created to brighten a complexion that looks tired, dull or shadowed without relying on concealer or opaque color correction. Its ultramarine-pink pigment visually counteracts the gray and brown tones that can make the face look depleted, creating a fresher, more rested appearance.

Unlike traditional color correctors, the pigment is intentionally sheer, so it doesn't need to be confined to the under-eyyes or applied only to specific areas. Blend it anywhere you want more light—or sheer it across the entire face. The translucent color melts into the complexion rather than sitting on top of it, leaving behind brightness without obvious pink pigment or coverage.

Made with a nourishing oil-and-butter base and vitamins E and K, the creamy formula blends seamlessly into bare skin or layers easily with the rest of your routine.

Wear it alone on bare skin for an imperceptible brightening effect, pair it with Perfect Lips for a true no-makeup look, or use it as part of the Baseline Face Method.

• Restores light to areas of shadow, dullness and discoloration for a fresher, more rested appearance
• Helps neutralize gray and brown tones with a sheer ultramarine-pink tint
• Brightens the eye area without the look or weight of traditional concealer
• Softens the appearance of smile lines and shadows around the center of the face
• Can be lightly dabbed over areas of discoloration to create a more even-looking baseline
• Vitamin E and Vitamin K complement the skin-supportive botanical oils
• Sheer, blendable formula is designed to become nearly imperceptible on the skin
• Wear alone, only where needed, or as Step 1 of the Baseline Face Method

Apply wherever the face naturally benefits from restored light.

Focus around the eye area, between the brows and along the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, chin and smile lines. Lightly dab over areas of discoloration on the cheeks as needed.

Blend very well until the product becomes nearly imperceptible. Begin with a small amount and build only where additional brightness is needed.

As Step 1 of the Baseline Face Method, use Instant Awake to restore light before adding Depth Definer, Skin Enhancer and Perfect Lips. It can also be worn on its own or applied over Skin Enhancer wherever the complexion needs additional brightness.
