Makeup to hide under-eye dark circles

[sandra]

any tips on how to use makeup to hide those dark circles around my eyes

[angel]

use a concealer........preferrable not blue tone bcz dark circles generally aquire a bluish tone...!!

[pearl]

angel is right. Applying concealer helps! Choose a gold-based color that matches your skin shade exactly (the gold will counteract the blue of the undereye circle).

You should apply the concealer all around the eye area, and be sure to blend well. Set the concealer with a light dusting of translucent face powder so that it stays put. And to avoid drawing attention to your undereye area, don't apply eyeliner or mascara to your lower lashes.

Remember not to choose a color thats too light and not to apply the concealer only under the eye.

Also, often the inner corner of the eye is the darkest part. A white shimmer pencil will cover it.

Hope that helps!

yeah sandra, its a nice place
Eye masks and eye creams are best to moisturize and desensitize your eyes and reduce puffiness.

Use waterproof formula, because if not the concealer will melt if for some reasons your eye areas get wet.

Pour a little white color corrector into one hand and dab some onto your third finger. Smooth fingertip over the dark circle under the eye, making sure the coverage is even. Then apply the liquid foundation over the corrector and to the rest of the face. This will conceal dark undereye circles and will give you a smooth finish.

Actually, the concealer will melt because of 2 reasons.

1) The eye area has the thinnest skin on the human body, which leads to...

2) The undereye area generates a lot of heat.

No....not that kind of melting....sometimes when someone doing my eye make up, or may be when I do it on my own, sometimes they or I give to much pressure on my eye or accidentally get in to my eye so that it become irritated n drop some tears....the concealer will gone not just melt...n it cause uneven skintone around eye area even if they or I covered it another layer of concealer. Thats way I need the waterproof one
