Tutorial: How To Cover Dark Circles | Tips & Tricks


image from beautystarlet.com

❦ start off by applying an eye cream (preferably one formulated to diminish dark circles)

❦ apply concealer to the under eye area in a patting motion with ring finger or using a concealer brush

❦ allow to set before blending (this crucial step will allow the warmth from your skin to melt the concealer making it much easier to blend as well as give maximum coverage) not interfering with actual placement of the concealer, concentrate on blending out the edges

❦ use a crease brush to buff edges to make sure there is a seemless transition or a damp sponge to pat into place.

❦ apply setting powder (this will ensure that the work you've just done will stay in place & not fade/crease...etc)

❦ if more coverage is desired, apply another thin layer of concealer.. let dry.. blend.. set.

Always:
❦ allow coverage to set between layers
