Under eye concealer tutorial

Here's One of the several ways I conceal those dreadful dark circles under my eye. 

So you start off  your eyeshadow freshly done and those dark circles laughing at you..... I prefer to do my eyeshadow before apply my concealer and foundation, because it's easier to clean up any eyeshadow fall out that may occur. 

I prefer to use MACs prolong wear concealer. But you can use whatever full coverage brand of concealer you fell works best for you. Please note when it comes to concealing dark circles under your eye, it's best to use a shade at least 1-2 shades lighter than your skin color. You can use a concealer your skin tone, but a lighter shade gives a more highlighted look and brightens the eyes, making you appear more "awake."

With MACs prolong wear concealer. Pump out less than the size of a dime amount, on the back of your hand. That's all you need. A little bit goes a long way. That's why I love the prolong wear concealer so much. You only need a small amount and it's super full coverage.

Using your middle finger, apply the concealer underneath your eye and drag down, making an upside triangle shape and blend it in. Yes the finger is an amazing blending tool for concealer, it warms the product and distributes it evenly. 

Next, use a flat top powder/buffing brush to continue to blend the concealer end. This helps get rid of the harsh lines. The brush I'm using is one of my Fav go to foundation brushes. The Eco tools flat top powder brush. I got it at Ulta. 

This is how the concealer looks after it is blended in. Yay! my dark circles are covered. See the difference? 
Finally, add your foundation on top. Make sure it's well blended and like that those dark circles are history :)
