How to: Cover your dark circles

We all hate those unwanted dark circles under our eyes. It makes us look sleepy and it makes us look like we're part of the raccoon family. Follow my "how to" steps to get the proper dark circle coverage.

Needed:Concealer brush, sponge, Benefit eye primer, Make up forever cream concealer - You can also use any of your favorite brands for this "How to"
(if you don't have a concealer brush you can use your fingertips)


Step 1: Begin by dabbing and highlighting the dark circles with the eye primer and blend with your ring finger until the primer disappears


Step 2:
  • Take the smallest end of your brush and lightly dab it into the purple concealer, only apply a small amount around the dark circles, the purple concealer cuts any dark veins around your eye (see how to blend below)
  • Once the purple is applied, choose the color of concealer that is one tone lighter than your natural skin tone this way it will brighten your eyes (see how to blend below)



To blend: Use the thicker part of your brush to blend the concealer (use sponge to help you with the blending) and always follow the depth of your dark circles by going downwards



     Don't drag the brush across your eye because it will create the illusion of under-eye bags



RESULT


Never use a big amount of concealer because it will stay in the wrinkles of your eye
