How to Cover Dark Circles + Under Eye Bags

I don't like getting asked if I'm tired or if I'm sick that happens all the time when I don't wear under eye concealer people are like oh you okay you look a little sick today and I'm like no I'm fine no really am that's what dark circles - do people think that you are unhealthy when you're not and today I'm going to show you guys how to cover them up and how to fix everything so that it looks perfect and flawless all day I hope that you guys take from these techniques and learn something I really hope you enjoy and let's get right into it the first step I always recommend to hydrate underneath the eyes I'm using an eye cream this one is the fast response eye cream by Mac but you could use literally any moisturizer that you already use on your skin what this is gonna do is create a really really nice base for underneath your makeup and just kind of patting it in I find it kind of helps deep puff the under eye circles a little bit so it's definitely a step I don't recommend skipping I'm gonna wait for that to dry and just kind of like let it sit in for about a minute before we move on to actual makeup okay so eye cream is on bags are still there in the dark circles or hello they're so annoying but I'm gonna show you how to color pack so that you can't even see them I'm using an orange salmon based concealer and the reason we use this I'm gonna show you this right here this is a color chart if you don't know what this is of course you know what it is but what we have underneath our eyes is usually blue dark grey ish kind of purpley circles and the reason we use a salmon concealer to cover that up is if you look across the board on the color chart the opposite of blue and purple is like that orange salmony color now why this is important is because when we are using colors to correct our skin we want to make sure that you're using the exact opposite and when we do this it's so effortless I can cover all these dark circles so effortlessly with the right color whereas if I was using a flesh tone concealer I would literally have to pack it on and then throughout the day my dark circles would start peeking through so if you use the right colors you can use less makeup and you can get a full-coverage flawless effect sounds good right the only thing we haven't done yet is fix the 3d problem we've fixed the dark circles of course the color is better now we're gonna go in with concealer but I want to fix that 3d problem which is the under-eye bag you can't exactly get rid of these but you can create an illusion to make them look less visible so I'm going to show you that now we're going to use a stiffer concealer something that is either from a pot or just something that's not too creamy for this and make sure that it's light I'm gonna be using the lightest shade in this palette here and what I'm going to do is trace right along the eye bag that I have I'm not gonna blend this out and I'm not going to move it all over the entire eye bag area I'm just going to put it literally right where the bag is and what this does is when you turn your head down it's going to stop the shadow there because you have a really really light concealer so I am going to be applying something over top of this but this is really going to conceal that shadow which is a really really cool trick so I have those circles underneath my eyes and I'm not going to blend them out when I look down now you can't see the circles you can't see those Dark Shadows which is awesome so this is a really cool and easy illusion to create we're gonna move on to the next step and I'm using my Mac Pro Longwear concealer which is my favorite and my Beauty Blender for this one so I'm taking my concealer and I'm not only putting this underneath my eyes right where the bags are I'm gonna bring this down the cheek a little bit and what this does because it's a little bit lighter than my skin tone it's going to highlight that entire area and make you look really fresh in a week I just let this dry for like 10 seconds so that it kind of gets a little bit tacky and then I'm going to use my Beauty Blender to Pat this into my skin you want to be really really gentle use patting motions whether you're using a brush your fingers or a sponge because we don't want to interrupt any of the work that we did underneath the eyes which would ruin the effect completely you can see I'm taking my time and I'm being really really gentle and that's completely on purpose this is something that you want to take your time with and be really precise because it's going to give you a really amazing all-day result if you take your time and you do it properly so you want to make sure that everything stays for the entire day you want to lock your makeup in with a powder I'm using an under-eye powder you can use a translucent one or something that you already like for your underneath the eye area and Pat this in as well don't swipe it and don't rub just take your time and make sure that you lock everything in with the patting motion so that you don't move anything around and that's gonna hold everything in all day give this a try and let me know how it
