hey all…
so my prob is that i have really dark under eye circlez, i have typical asian complexion..not too fair not too dark, comes in medium category…i have an important upcoming event so i need to look flawless there..i cannot ever apply concealer to cover my dark circles correctly..it either ends up looking greyish or it is not concealed at all…
here in Pakistan, dont expect bobbi brown,mac, nars etc…i have variety of concealers availabe in my city, following are sum i have:
maybelline coverstick concealer (the shade seems to light for my skin)
etude stick concealer
rimmel renew and lift concealer(the shade seems to dark)
palladio herbal corrector concealer(yellow)
okz so i have all these but i never look perfect..my dark circles are always visible…so please give any tips how to hide them…
I don't know if I'm too late to help you for your event but this is what I do. I'm not that great with concealer but this kind of works for me. I lightly apply a cream concealer under my eyes, but mostly on the darkest parts. Then I take a damp cosmetic sponge and just blend it out with dabbing motions (it works better than quickly blending). If you feel it doesn't give you enough coverage, try applying a little more and blending again. Then all I do is set it with a powder (it creases if i don't). I hope that helped :)
to to a good salon and ask them to help you and show you how to use and/or which conclear will work the best for you. Othger than that I guess if you have the right colours of the conc. you can practice4 to get the perfect look.
hey hun!
i have used maybelline's cover stick....im not a big fan of it..but its thts a brand that u find mostlly..then make sure u get a concealer with a orange tint to it....im nto fair..but imnot dark either...i guess im olive- ish...and i live in toronto and my color keeps changing...coz of the sun and all
so this is what i do....for summer i got to use a darker color coz of the tan and for winter i go light...but on a regular basis.... i mix a dot of dark and another dot of the lighter one...mix is and then dab it...slowly under my eyees...
dont rub it...there's no point...
another thing that i would like to start doing bcoz a lot of ppl i know do it...take used tea bags...dont throw it out...freeze it n the freezer...and then before u go to bed...put them on each eye and let it sit for 20 mins..
try doing this for some time and inshallah ull see a change..im pretty paranoid about my dark circles...i dont wear a lot of makeup at all..but i am too conscious to step outside the house without a concealer even if its to go get groceries:D
i hope this helps...let me know what color ur using....in maybelline...
I saw a program where this lady called in expressing the same problem. She was recommended thin potato slices to be placed over her eyes. You could try this for a couple of weeks everyday and see if it works perhaps? Another thing you could do is buy a foundation that matches your your under eyes and use that all over the face. Seeing a dermatologist might help.
