How To Choose An Under - Eye Concealer
Choosing Concealers
Most women have a particular beauty problem in common. It doesn’t matter if their skin is fair or tan, oily or dry, smooth or bumpy, this issue plagues us all. Some try to solve it with extra sleep. Others use cucumbers to reduce the puffiness.
Concealer, as the name suggests, is used to conceal facial imperfections and hide blemishes, under-eye circles, spider veins, dark spots, pimples, scars and birth marks and give us the look of flawless skin.
Understanding Your Under Eyes
Thought moisturizing was the first step in masking those under-eye problems? Our beauty experts beg to differ. They place emphasis on first identifying the type of problem.
Covering Dark Under-Eye Circles
When it comes to covering up the dark circles under the eye, it’s important to keep in mind that the skin under the eye is different from other places on the face. It is far more delicate; its tissue is only slightly thicker than a sheet of paper, and needs to be treated with care.
Consider concealers that are one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. Remember that the idea is to make a darker spot blend into your complexion.
Bridal Beauty: Choosing A Concealer
Pimples and under-eye circles are the most common concealer targets, but there are a host of other complexion spoilers that need covering: small scars, broken blood vessels, redness around the nose, the inner corner of your eyes. On your big day you should also use concealer to cover up small bruises or blemishes on your arms, chest and back.
Use A Proper Concealer
Test out the best colors at a department store counter or at Sephora. (Tip: Tell the makeup artist you are looking to correct the undereye circles and are testing several different types before purchase). Choose concealer that’s a shade lighter than your foundation. And if your circles are very dark, go 2 shades lighter. You might be choosing a concealer that’s too light if you are getting a ‘raccoon look.’
How To Hide Or Lighten Them
Most women over thirty will at some point wonder how to get rid of under eye circles. There are three ways to attack the problem of dark under-eye circles: prevention, topical application and cosmetic restoration. Holistic prevention, while being the easiest solution for some people is also the least effective for most.
