How to Hide Under-Eye Dark Circles With Makeup in 3 Simple Steps
Dark circles happen to almost everyone. The magnitude of the circles differs from person to person. But, when applying makeup, the first thing people ask me is how to hide under-eye dark circles with makeup.
That’s why I’ve decided to do this tutorial for you to discover my tried and tested hacks to hide those pesky circles seamlessly.
Smooth under eye puffiness and wrinkles!
Tools and materials:
- Corrector
- Concealer
- Powder
- Blending brushes
- Sponge
- Contour powder
1. Apply a corrector
Choosing the best color is key to getting the full benefit of under-eye correctors.
For those wondering what color concealer for dark circles is best, I suggest getting either a pink, peach, or salmon shade. I’m using a light salmon pinkish shade with a pearlescent finish.
Simply dab a little product right under your eye with your finger. Tap lightly and carefully; the skin under your eyes is super delicate.
The area underneath my left eye is pretty bright and luminous, while the right eye without the corrector looks pretty dark.
Tip: Don’t use too much product as it tends to crease.
2. Apply concealer
Now, I’m using my favorite everyday concealer. It’s pretty lightweight and blends really well.
If you want more coverage, then using a slightly heavier base concealer will work, but be careful of using too much product as it can get blotchy.
Remember this rule: the center of your face should be the brightest and the perimeter of your face should be the darkest.
So, add a few strokes to your chin, middle of your forehead, down the bridge of your nose, and cupid's bow.
Next, take your beauty blender and lightly tap the areas with the concealer. This will blend the concealer beautifully and naturally.
3. Set with powder
To set the under-eye area, add a little powder and dab it in with your beauty blender.
Next, take a powder brush and flick away the excess powder. You don’t need to wait that long for the powder to set; it should work its magic as soon as you apply it.
4. Finish off your makeup
I like using a bronzer straight after to add some color and warmth to my skin. Apply your favorite bronzer to your cheek area and blend it out with a medium-sized blending brush.
Add a little highlighter right above the apples of your cheeks. I decided to skip out on blush but feel free to add your favorite blush before adding the highlighter.
Top the look with your favorite au-natural lip gloss, and you’re good to go!
