How to Get Rid of Dark Undereye Circles
We are going to get right into the products and how-to’s of creating a snatched undereye.
But what does that even mean? Well, do you have dark under-eye circles you’d like to conceal without having to worry about creasing or darkness? Then let me teach you!
As a makeup artist that has had dark under eye circles since the fifth grade, I’ve tried many under eye concealers and methods and alas I have found a creaseless method that also makes make look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
This look will have you looking awake for early zoom meetings or snatched for your bridal makeup.
Here’s how:
- Skincare is always a mandatory step in any makeup application so invest in it! I enjoy a luxurious skincare application with these energy drink eye masks. Do you need these every application? Absolutely not but you can use them 3-4 times a week for major brightening effects.
- Eye cream. There are many I love: Monat (comes with a lovely cooling eye roller), and this one from Clinique.
- Concealer Number 1: Yes, I need 2 concealers. The first one I use is for color correcting. I will switch out occasionally what I use for this but lately, I love Pat McGrath Labs concealer in shade L6. I’ll apply this in the inner corner and blend out in the inner corner, undereye and even on top of the lid to even out skin tone.
- Concealer 2: Once the first ones dries down and I’ve applied any eyeshadow, I’ll go in with a concealer that brightens. My current favorite is Nars Creamy Radiant Concealer in shade Light 2 Vanilla in the inner corner & outer corner for that lifted shape. Sometimes I need to go in with a second coating of that so if that’s the case for you just make sure everything has a moment to dry down first.
- Setting Powder: This magical fairy dust gives me creaseless undereyes, which has always been a battle I forfeit to because I do have Crow’s Feet. However, if you’ve read my blog post on this powder you know the benefits of why I love it. I’ll apply this powder lightly with the powder puff it comes with all across the undereyes.
- Last step is a brightening powder from Dragun Beauty. I swirl it around on my Makeup by Mario brush and stiffle it onto my inner eye area wherever I know my darkness is. Then I do a second application using a swirling technique.
Voila! That’s it! I do enjoy setting my makeup with the new Fix Plus Stay Over setting spray.
