The black circles under the eyes is a frequent aesthetic issue that concerns many women. Whether they are due to stress, fatigue or heredity, they can affect our image and make us look tired. Although it is difficult to completely eliminate them, we know all the secrets to cover them with makeupachieving a flawless and natural result.

1. Reduce swelling

Treating dark circles starts with fighting swelling. Cold objects, such as ice packs, cold spoons, or eye gel, can help reduce swelling and fluid retention. Massage with these tools enhances blood circulation and improves the appearance of the area around the eyes.

2. Use eye moisturizer

All experts emphasize the importance of proper hydration. Applying an eye cream before makeup is essential to prepare the skin. Hydration prevents the concealer from “sitting” on the skin, creating a more natural finish.

3. Choose the right color corrector and concealer

Dark circles are usually not covered by simple application of foundation. The key is to use a color corrector first to neutralize the dark areas. Depending on your needs, you can choose peach or orange for dark circles, green for redness and violet for dull skin. Concealer is then applied, offering even coverage.

4. Start with a thin base

Before proceeding with the concealer, apply a very thin layer of foundation under the eyes. This will help you get even coverage and prepare the area for the concealer. Combining two foundation shades can help you achieve the ideal shade for your skin tone.

5. Apply concealer properly

For the best effect under the eyes, choose a concealer that reflects light and is slightly lighter than your skin tone. If your skin has fine lines, go for a more matte and stable concealer that won’t build up. Use a brush or your fingers to apply the product in thin layers, avoiding excessive amounts near the lashes to avoid creasing.

6. Set your makeup

To keep your makeup in place all day, use blotting papers to remove oil and apply light powder with a fine brush. A translucent powder will prevent the makeup from looking heavy, while the setting spray will help the makeup last longer. For extra hold, use a powder puff to gently dab the area.

With the above steps you can cover dark circles in a natural way, ensuring a bright and restful effect on your makeup.
