Even sleepless nights won't spoil your look: how to mask dark circles under the eyes
Of course, this is not only an aesthetic problem, as dark circles visually add age and make the face look tired.

Dark circles under the eyes are a common problem that can be caused by various factors, both emotional (anxiety, stress, overwork) and physiological (sleep disturbances, hyperpigmentation, prolonged sun exposure, smoking).

Of course, this is not just an aesthetic problem, as dark circles visually add age and make your face look tired. Fortunately, there are effective ways to mask dark circles with makeup. OBOZ writes about it.

Here are some tips from makeup artists:

Preparation:

Neutralize swelling

Use chilled cucumbers, ice packs, or special eye patches to reduce puffiness and improve blood circulation. Gentle massage with your fingertips can also help.

Apply eye cream

Don't neglect moisturizing! This will help improve skin elasticity and make it more prepared for makeup application.

Concealer:

Choose a concealer

The choice of concealer color depends on the type of dark circles:

  • Green: neutralizes the reddish tint.
  • Salmon/Peach: Conceals dark circles and gives the skin a fresh look.
  • Yellow: Conceals bruises and spider veins.
  • Purple: neutralizes yellowness.
  • Moisturizing concealers are better for dry skin, and matte concealers are better for oily skin.

Apply concealer:

Using a brush or finger, apply a small amount of concealer to the inner area under the eyes, as well as to the outer corner. Do not rub, but hammer in the product with light movements.

Fix the result:

Apply a thin layer of powder or a special setting spray to set your makeup.

Additional tips:

  • Use a foundation with reflective particles to brighten the under-eye area.
  • Apply concealer in the shape of an inverted triangle to visually lift the corners of your eyes.
  • Don't forget the highlighter: a little glow on the protruding areas of the face will help distract attention from dark circles.

Remember that makeup is only a temporary solution. To get rid of dark circles permanently, it is important to eliminate their cause.
