Makeup Tips and Tricks to Hide Dark Circles under Eyes

From choosing the right concealer to setting your look for flawless wear, we’ll cover everything you need to achieve a well-rested eye look. So ditch the under-eye drama and get ready to embrace brighter-looking eyes!

First and foremost, hydration is the way to go! For this, you need to have a good under-eye cream in your collection and if not it is high time you invest in this. Apply a good eye cream to plump your under-eye area and create a smooth surface for the makeup to be applied. A lightweight eye primer will also be a good addition to the routine.

The next step is to choose your concealer, the one that matches your skin just perfectly. For this, we suggest you go to a store to buy and also in the daylight. You can opt for peach/salmon shades for cool undertones and yellow-based for warm tones.

Now comes the hero product – the colour corrector. For stubborn circles, a colour corrector can be your secret weapon. Applying a thin layer of colour corrector can hide away a range of skin concerns as well as dark circles. Choose a peach/orange shade to neutralise dark tones or green to counter redness.

Now, with a damp beauty blender or a small concealer brush apply concealer in a tapping motion under the eye area. Do not follow the viral triangle shape tricks as it only makes you use way more product than needed. Only dab it a little and blend outwards and upwards for a natural finish. As we know less is more and for eye makeup, this is the ultimate way or else it will turn cakey in an instant.

After you are done hiding your dark circles, it is time to set your concealer. For this use a translucent setting powder so that the creasing doesn’t occur. Dust a light layer under your eyes and tap off any excess.

Want an extra brightening boost? Use a highlighting concealer one or two shades lighter than your skin tone. Apply a tiny amount in the inner corners of your eyes and blend well.

Avoid piling on concealer, as this can make your fine lines more visible. While makeup can work wonders, prioritise healthy sleep habits to address dark circles at the root.

By following these tips, you can say goodbye to dark circles and hello to bright, beautiful eyes that will make you look radiant and refreshed!
