How often have you googled, “how to cover dark circles?” Whether stress-induced or genetic, under-eye discolouration can be a challenging issue to deal with. Plus, can show up that much more intensely on camera than when you're in the mirror—the lighting can make the pigmentation look darker and more pronounced. Figuring out the best makeup tricks to mask it is key, and that's where the pros come in.
Here, two of the industry's most in-demand artists tell you how to get the smoothest, most flawless finish ever. Use an ice pack, cool eye gels or a cool teaspoon on the eyes and massage around the area. The coolness helps , and the pressure can activate the body's natural response to drain the pooled fluid in the area.
“I can look at a client’s face and tell if they use or not," says Maria Asadi, who works with celebrities like Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Jourdan Dunn. “It's important to hydrate and nourish the skin because if you don't, your concealer and corrector will sit on top rather than sink in,” she says. "You can’t use just a foundation over really dark circles as it will show up ashy.
A corrector uses colour theory to cancel out the tones of pigmentation or bruised eyes so you can conceal on top,” explains Asadi. To colour correct before concealer, identify your skin's concerns and then choose the right colour corrector. You can pick from peach/orange for dark circles, green for redness, lavender for dullness, and yellow for mild redness.
