Under eye concealer
When the words Make-up artist and beauty blogger are mentioned they are very often followed by a barrage of beauty related questions. One which comes up most is ''How can I hide my dark circles?" this seems to be the thing that most women struggle with.
There are so many concealers, powders and highlighters out there and although products such as Touche Eclat from YSL (£24.50) seem to top most polls and Garnier tinted eye roll-on concealer (£5.08) is one of the best beauty bargains of the century, it really is a case of finding one which is best for your skin. If it's too dry for you it will crack and crease and if its too oily it will smudge throughout the day.
The most important thing when covering dark circles and bags under the eyes, is placement. There is no point whatsoever rubbing concealer around like night cream! Make sure that the product is covering ONLY the dark area you are trying to cover, it helps to use a concealer brush or even a lip brush to do this more precisely. If you then want to use a higlighter (needed most for people with sunken areas below the eye) make sure to put it on the deepest part of the circles, which will help even them out. If you use a highlighter all over the eyes it creates a look similar to sunglasses marks, which will become impossible to match with the rest of your skin tone.
So next time your wondering which under eye concealer to get, remember that in many cases, it's not what you've got... it's where you put it!
