Dark circles. Our worst enemy. A massive bring down to a girl's appearance.
But there is another ending to the tragic story of everlasting dark circles:
Concealer.
This is when the complications come in... What brand do I buy? How much coverage do I need? Do I need to use a corrector beforehand? Are the cheep drugstore brands ok, or do I need to purchase a more expensive one?
And the list goes on...
But before I get into the best brands to use, I'd like to address the application! No matter what brand you use: cheep, expensive or in between, the brand won't help you anyhow if the application isn't correct.
So what's the best way to apply concealer?
This really depends on what concealer you're using, you see. Because if you're using a powdered concealer, definitely go for the brush to apply it. However, the creme concealers can be a little more hard to decide what to apply them with. I suggest trying out all the different ways to decide what best suites you. Be it using your fingers, a concealer brush or even a sponge.
Personally, I think that a sponge is the best option, for me at least. This is because it deposits the makeup evenly and seamlessly, and that's the main aim for makeup isn't it? A natural look.
So how do I apply it?
Before I even start with the concealer, I moisturise and prime my whole eye area. This gives a perfect, smooth base for the concealer to blend and soak in. Now onto the application... first, I start by slightly wetting the sponge, but I squeeze as much water as I can out of it. I then softly 'dot' it onto my skin. DON'T USE TOO MUCH, as it will make your skin look cakey, regardless of the brand! I use slight circular motions to blend the concealer in. Once this is all done and looking great, I set it with a translucent powder to keep it in place! And just to brighten up my eyes even more, I use a slight dust of subtle highlighting powder over my darkest places to reflect the light and improve my whole appearance.
My favourite concealer ever! ...
