I've had dark circles since I was a child. Mine are hereditary, and don't fade no matter how much sleep I get! This makes me the perfect model for this tutorial! Our cruelty-free, vegan dark circle fighting arsenal. These are my favourite products to use, they perform so well.
- Small, synthetic hair concealer/lip brush
- Peach corrector (for light skin) or orange corrector (for dark skin) - OCC's Creme Color Concentrate in Newt
- High coverage concealer - Illuminaré Concealing Mineral Foundation
- Mineral powder concealer or foundation to set. (Not pictured) I'm using Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation in China Doll.
- Powder Brush - I'm using a Royal & Langnickel Synthetic Powder Brush
Start with moisturised, primed skin. Apply a small amount of peach or orange corrector to the darkest part of the circle. Your finger will apply too much, use a small brush. Step two
Blend it up to the lower lashline with your finger using a gentle patting motion. Step Three
Using your finger, apply high coverage concealer to the dark circle using a patting motion. Continue to pat, adding more if necessary, until the circle is covered and the concealer is blended into the surrounding skin. Blend a little over the upper eyelid to counteract any darkness there. Avoid using a concealer that is too light, as the circle could turn grey. I'm using a shade darker than my normal skin tone. Step four
Using a powder brush, apply mineral foundation or concealer to the entire eye area. Use a patting or dabbing motion to press it into the concealer. This will set your concealer and add more coverage. Step five Finished! Apply the rest of the your makeup and you're ready!
