BUHH BYE DARK CIRCLES
concealer tips and personal must have products
✦✦✦ ✦✦✦
Hello Everyone.
So this post is for all of you who just can’t seem to get rid of those dark circles and you’ve had enough with those cucumbers and eye creams that just ain’t cutting it. This is one of the
easiest methods that works for me and has worked on my clients.
The secret? Well the orange concealer and of course my Pro Makeup Sponge combination.
The orange concealer gets rid of the darkness by providing its bright pigment that later is easier to conceal with a concealer or foundation of your choice that blends well into your skin color. For blemishes .. I like to stick to purple or green concealer to remove the redness. I will be posting a full explanation in which concealer color works best for different types of skin tones and skin types. In the meantime.. hope this helps.

Products you will need:
STEP 1: Brightening
This is the part where you apply a color that you would have never thought would make such a big difference. Yes, orange concealer. Now what this does is ACTUALLY conceal the darkness by adding a brightness. I know it sounds crazy but it does work.
Nyx Cosmetics Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer in “Orange” is my go-to!!
STEP 2: Masking
The next step is concealing the orange to a shade that is lighter or close to your skin color.
In this step you are basically concealing the orange and also highlighting at the same time.
In this step you are basically concealing the orange and also highlighting at the same time.
What I use : M Pro Long Wear Concealer in NW 20
STEP 3: Setting
The setting is the final step and also is very important to do.
This will help your concealer last all day and help it stay crease free.
My Recommendations: Mac Cosmetics : Hot Sensation Beauty Powder
Also the Ben Nye Cameo(light skin) or Banana Powder (Olive | Tan) skin tones will work wonderfully as well.
PRO TIPS
The best tip I can give anyone is when working with concealers… use it all over your eye. A dime size of a liquid concealer can cover the top and bottom of the eye. It also works well because it conceals any darkness around the eye .. helps neutralize and balance everything.. and also works as the best eye-shadow primer.
I also use my damp to achieve a flawless look because sometimes using a brush can be a little too harsh for your sensitive under eye area. Using a sponge helps it blend better into your skin and it makes the process feel refreshing at the same time.
Another method: Apply using your ring finger, aka the weakest finger & the only one that should go near your eye, in tiny circular motions is one way to go.
Also.. using a concealer eye pencil in the water line can also brighten your eyes and make them seem wider and awake. Pop some mascara on your lashes and if you have some extra time .. add a little highlight shimmer to your inner corners for beautiful, awake eyes.
So there you have it… my dark circle .. tired eyes.. instant remedy. Thank you for reading.
