Dark circles, we all have them
.
Whether
you’re
missing out on
a
precious
night’s
sleep or
you’re
just
genetically inclined to have
a
dark
er shade
under
your
eyes,
sometimes we need a quick fix
and a
really good
under-eye
concealer
to
feel confident and refreshed.
T
his tutorial will give you the knowledge you need to look well-rested and fresh-faced every day.
With the recent launch of our Colour Correcting Bronzers
(which basically do the
colour
correction work for you), our
Director of Artistry Pablo Rodriguez
takes us back to
colour
correction basics,
giv
ing
a quick course in
concealing dark circles under your eyes.

STEP ONE: COLOUR CORRECTION BASICS
The aim of this look is to minimise dark circles for a fresh and
glowy
complexion.
Start by adding
two small layers of
Cream
Pigment
in Androgen under the eyes,
using your fingertips
to gently
finesse
into the skin
,
focusing on the darker
areas under the eye
s
.
The warmth of this shade
will
con
c
eal
any blue or purple
under
tones under your eyes.
If you’re looking for a quick fix, Antimatter Lipstick
in Vela, a similar peachy pink shade,
can be great to correct any
under eye
darkness
in a pinch. One
tip
is to beware lipsticks with hydrating ingredients as these will move around the skin during wea
r.
STEP TWO: APPLY FOUNDATION AS
USUAL
Blend out your foundation as usual without going over any of the pigment under your eyes.
A pro tip for applying foundation:
build your foundation look in layers. Use our fluffy Foundation Brush
to blend out in circular motions, starting in the middle of the face close to the
nose and blending outwards.
STEP
THREE:
CONCEAL UNDER EYES
When it comes to choosing a
concealer,
you’ll want a shade that is a bit deeper to match your natural undertones.
Gently p
ack Skin Base Concealer over the Cream Pigment in very fine layers until you
r
reach your desired coverage.
Then, using the Concealer Brush, blend the edges of the concealer into your foundation.
You should not see a massive difference in
colour
from your foundation and
concealer
once they are
blended
together
.
STEP FOUR: SET & FINISH
Using our Pressed Powder, dust a fine veil over the look, locking each layer in place. For a healthy and flushed finish, use Colour Veil on the lips and cheeks to balance out the colour on your face then, finally, coat lashes in Masquara for a dramatic lash look. To really lock in your full makeup look and keep your makeup from moving, set it in place using our
