Cover Up Those Dark Circles With This Easy Step-By-Step
    Dark circle are unsightly, annoying – and surprisingly easy to cover, once you find the right
    concealer.

    The right product is usually the creamiest, because the skin under the eyes is often dry.  It’s not a
    good idea to apply a hard stick concealer directly to the undereye area – the skin is much too
    delicate.  So before using a stick concealer, it is suggested that you softens it up first with your
    fingertip.

    Concealers in a wand or pot are creamiest.  Creamy undereye concealers include Maybelline
    Revitalizing Concealer (formulated with built-in moisturizers), Estee Lauder Automatic Cream
    Concealer and Signature Cream Concealer.  Brighten up – not whiten up – your dark circles with
    these easy step-by-step instructions.

    Prep for your concealer.  If the skin under your eyes is dry, pat on a light eye cream to keep your
    concealer from appearing cakey or thick.

    Apply foundation.  Foundation hides dark circles to some degree and helps concealer glide on
    more smoothly than concealer alone.

    Measure out your concealer.  Using your index finger, pat a dime-size dot of creamy concealer, or
    a pea-sixe dab if you’re using a wand concealer, under each eye.

    Start covering up.  Dab the concealer from the inner corner of your eye outward, using your index
    finger to pat it into place.  Use as little concealer as possible around your eyes; the product will
    sink into fines lines after a few hours.

    Check your work.  Stand back from the mirror.  If you can still see dark circles, pat on a tiny bit
    more concealer.

    Blend.  Feather the edges of the concealer into your foundation, lifting off excess concealer with a
    sponge or cotton square.

    Finish up with powder.  Using a very small, narrow makeup brush, dust on translucent powder to
    set the concealer.  But don’t use too much powder – it will accentuate crow’s-feet and eventually
    cake into lines.
