Application of undereye concealer

These are recommanded steps on how to apply concealer.
Method that is prefered by me.
Each different makeup artist will have our own specific way.

Under eye concealing make a difference. By giving enough coverage under the eyes, you will realise the finishing is very polished, even tho minimum foundaiton is used.
The eye and brain perceived the under eye concealment as a more made up look to the face.

NOTE:
If you have very dry (wrinkly) and dark undereye circles, it will be best for you to decide what is the best finishing for yourself.
Remember if you put alot of concealer to remove the greyness, the under eye might end up looking drier and parched. Lines might become more obvious.
If you want the final look to have a less dry or wrinkly finishing, do remember your under eye area will not be as well covered.
So each of a lesser devils, you have to decide.

After a light wash of skintone foundation is used across under the eyes.
Use a Peachy / Warm tone concealer over the greyish darker areas. The warmth of the concealer or corrector will neutralise the greyish, bluish tone so apply sparingly.
You know you have over applied, when after the powder is set there is an orange tone under your eyes.

After the warm/peachy/orangey based concealer is used to lighten the greyness, a yellow based concealer is used from the inner parts of the undereyes and blended out towards the cheekbone. Once again use the concealer sparingly as excess will allow the finishing to look patchy.
NOTE: you need the concealer to TONE down and even out the under eye to make yourself looking fresher and have a more polished finish face.

Powder is applied from outside in. Pat the powder from the outer corner of the eyes and then brush the excess off from the inside towards the whole cheekbone area.
WHY outside in and then inside out?
Patting the powder from outside in will allow to set the powder into the creases under the eyes. Sweeping from inside out will remove any excess. Creating a smooth finishing.

My favourite powder for undereye is from Bobbi Brown, Face Powder in Pale Yellow. GREAT to set under eye concealer with from very fair to Medium darker skintone.
Golden Orange is good for Darker to Very Dark skintones for undereyes powder setting.

My favourite undereye concealers are

For sheer to medium coverage:

-MAC Select Moisturecover
-YSL Touche Eclat
-Dior Skinflash


For medium to full coverage:

- Glominerals gloConcealer
- Laura Mercier Flawless Face Undercover

The medium to full coevrage concealers can be diluted down to sheer out with eye cream, moisturisers or foundations. The option is yours.
