Concealer Hack for a Lifted, Bright Look
To achieve a lifted, bright look, apply your concealer strategically rather than covering a large area. Start by dotting concealer at these key points: 1. Inner Corners of Eyes: Add a small dot at the inner corners to brighten up dark circles. 2. Outer Corners of Eyes: Dot a bit upward from the outer corners to create a lifted effect. 3. Corners of Nose and Mouth: Place a small amount at each side of the nose and the corners of the mouth for a more cohesive, smooth finish.
Then, gently blend using a damp makeup sponge or your ring finger. This technique uses less product while giving a natural, brightened look that lifts and defines your features without over-applying concealer.
You can mix concealer with loose powder to create a thicker snd more opaque blemish concealer!
Bright and fresh undereyes -
Start by applying a hydrating eye cream to prep your skin. Next, take a small brush or your fingertip to lightly dab the concealer in the inner and outer corners of your under eyes. Blend it gently, keeping it subtle—remember, a little goes a long way! Finish with a light dusting of translucent powder to prevent creasing.
To get thenperfect undereye, the first step is Moisturising, I use an undereye cream, then colour correct using an orange colour to neutralise the skin tone. then use Concealer and set it with powder.
*Tip Let the Concealer sit on the skin for a while before blending it out. I use a brush to apply to the product and blend it out
An important part of my concealer game as I've started getting older and a few fine lines for concealer to crease into is setting my under eye. I love using the light reflecting powder to lightly dab on my under eye after concealer and it keeps it in place until I want to take it off, it's fab!
the undereye area has always been a struggle for me, and for many of us, when it comes to concealer... due to the dreaded creasing.
this tip isnt neccesarily groundbreaking but ive been very surprised how many people arent aware of it!
you NEED to make sure your undereye area is moisturised. a dry undereye makes for lotsss of creases when applying concealer. Moisturise, moisturise, moistureise. ideally use a hydrating eye serum then a moisturiser. Once youve done this, leave it for a few minutes to let it soak in and work its magic. then apply your concealer, leave for a further minute or two and watch it blend like a dream!
Undereye area is really specific and for most of us - problematic! I think everything goes back to the good skincare routine, we need to prep the skin well before applying makeup. Remember about good undereye cream but also massage! the skin will be firmer and hydrated. In terms of the makeup - we need to start with a primer, to prevent creasing! And as someone who has naturally dark circles, I need a colour corrector - I use red under my eyes to cancel purple/green veins. Then a great concealer is a must have with a setting spray on top :) In terms of creasing - less is better :)
for a flawless undereye i start off with an eye moisturiser/hydrating primer. i build coverage by first using a dot of my exact concealer shade. Then i go a shade lighter using two dots, this helps me correct dark circles then i use my highlighting shade and set with the slightest touch of lose powder.
