Concealing Dark Circles
Below are 3 simple steps to banish dark eye circles with the help of your concealer.
Step 1:
Using your ring finger, gently pat an eye cream with sunscreen (at least SPF 15) around the entire eye area as rubbing can stretch the thin, delicate skin that surrounds the area.
Step 2:
Choose a creamy concealer. This is to reduce the chance of caking. With the help of a concealer brush, apply three dots of colour. The dots should start under the tear duct and end under the iris. Blend the dots in with your ring finger by patting gently.
Step 3:
Make sure you choose a golden brown shade when adding in your eye colour to counteract blue circles or taupe if your circles are yellow. Since makeup along the lower lashes may smudge or flake, adding to the darkness, apply liner and mascara to top lids and lashes.
