First impressions are very important-- like it or not our appearance is a large part of how other people judge us. Dark under-eye circles or eye bags make you look older and more tired than you are. CONCEAL them with cosmetics so that you can show the world the vibrant, smart, and happy woman you are! Read on to learn how to apply cosmetics for a natural look that hides those dark under-eye circles!!!
There are two categories of cosmetic products that you will need:
1. Contrasting Products: Mascara and eyeliner highlight the beauty of your eyes and draw attention away from the mild discoloration of your dark under-eye circles.
2. Concealing Products: There are advanced moisturizers, foundations, and concealers that directly minimize the appearance of dark under-eye circles by masking discoloration.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: How to apply the cosmetics:
STEP 1. Apply Foundation and Moisturizer. A natural look can be achieved by mixing your foundation with your moisturizer in the palm of your hand before applying it to your face.
STEP 2. Tilt your head down so that the darkness under your eyes is quite obvious in the mirror.
STEP 3. Apply your concealer to the bottom, shadowed portion of the bags. Remember that less is more! Blend a small amount of concealer into your skin with your finger. Keep the line under the bag the brightest in order to minimize the shadow and skin tone appears even.
**Note: Choose a light reflective concealer that is just a shade lighter than your foundation or that is easy to blend.
STEP 4. Apply eye liner that is darker than your natural eye line. A darker eye-line will make any shadows from your eye-bags seem less noticeable.
STEP 5. Apply mascara that creates full, dark lashes that will not only draw attention away from your eye bags, but also accentuate your feminine beauty and improve your overall appearance.
