Concealer 101

Tired of looking tired during this pandemic OR are your clients?

Here are some concealing and eye tricks you won’t be able to resist.

Puffiness:

Cold spoons 🥄, jade eye and face rollers work and so do a salmon or yellow tint concealer. Don’t put the concealer right on the puffy part under the eyes but underneath the puff. Use sparingly. Blend well.

*Please note: if you use a light or lighter concealer it will brighten that area and make the puff more prominent. So apply concealer in the crease under the eye below the puff or bag. It will look more flawless and seamless.

Darker Circles:

Creamy concealers work better to cover pigmentation than liquid ones. Keep concealer from creasing by using a damp makeup sponge to apply and tap on not rub in. Stop just short of the lower lash line. If you prefer to use a camouflage brush use it to apply and the damp sponge too.

Redness:

Most of us have redness or dark shadows /circles around and below the inner corners of the eyes. When applying concealer here blend it down the sides of your nose so it blends in and not obvious.

Dark circles and puffy tired eyes ❤️ love …

A cooling treat with a bag of peas from the fridge! Peas? Yes, please. You can choose any other fruit or veggie bag. Simply place over your closed puffy tired eyes and rest for at least 10 minutes.

Watery OR red looking eyes:

Tired, dark circled watery eyes needs eye brightening eye drops or an over the counter allergy medicine.

As you can see its not always about covering things up!

I hope you use some of these little tricks!
