Under-eye circles… they’re a part of everyone’s life, and whether you have the occasional dark under-eye circles or they’re an everyday occurrence whether as a result of lack of sleep, or genetic, it can be quite annoying. Figuring out the best makeup tricks to mask it is key, and that’s where the experts come in. So with a little magic with makeup, we explore how best to keep them at bay.

  1. De-puff

Before starting with makeup, we recommend depuffing the under eyes with eye gels. Keep them in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, then place them on your under eyes for an instant cooling effect that can help to de-puff. You can also use a cold spoon, tea bag or invest in an eye roller.

  1. Apply eye cream

Before learning how to cover dark circles under eyes using makeup, it’s important to note that using the right skincare can help your eye area to appear brighter and more refreshed!  The skin beneath your eyes is the thinnest skin on your entire body. Use an eye cream that will help to depuff the eye area to leave them refreshed and ready for makeup. Use your fingertips to lightly tap it along your orbital bone, from outer to inner corners.

  1. Use a color corrector

Peach tones will counterbalance the blue-hue of under eye bags on light skin, yellow and bisque tones work best for medium skin and orange is best for dark skin. Apply the colour correcting shades first, and add a touch of concealer to mask it.

  1. Apply a concealer

Time for concealing! Concealer is the key to covering dark circles under eyes with makeup. You want something that works to conceal and correct the appearance of dark circles. You want to use a flesh-tone shade that works to mask your color corrector and brighten your under-eye area for an even and natural finish.

  1. Set it

Once your makeup is perfectly in place, it’s time to lock it all in. A setting powder helps to keep your bags concealed all day long without the need for touch-ups. Reach for a Loose Setting Face Powder to set your concealer.  To bake, apply the powder directly under your eyes with a makeup brush, and let it set for five to ten minutes before dusting away the excess. Then finish the rest of your makeup.
