Concealing dark circles under the eyes: step-by-step instructions
Do you tend to have puffy eyes and dark circles under your eyes? You don't want anyone to see your long night or your recent stress? Would you like to give your face a quick boost of freshness? Here you will find instructions on how to properly cover dark circles under the eyes and make shadows disappear quickly:
1st step: Eye cream against dark circles under the eyes
Apply a moisturizing eye cream to keep the delicate skin under your eyes well hydrated! This helps address the cause of the dark circles under your eyes and also ensures that the makeup looks more even.
We recommend our eye cream “CUTANOVA FACE SPA Cream Eye Contour Aqua Complete”. This regenerating special eye care intensively moisturizes the skin around the eyes, has a decongestant effect and is also intensively smoothing. Try them!
Step 2: Primer for an awake eye area
Use a primer specifically designed for the eye area! This helps prepare the skin and make makeup last longer.
3rd step: Concealer with a suitable shade
Choose a concealer that is one tone lighter than your skin! For very dark circles under the eyes, a color-correcting concealer can make a big difference.
- For red circles under the eyes, use a green or yellowish tone!
- If you have purple or blue circles under your eyes, use a peach or orange shade!
Apply the concealer under the eyes in an upside-down triangle shape to visually brighten the skin!
Gently blend the concealer with a makeup sponge to distribute it evenly and optimize coverage!
To improve the durability of the concealer, you can set it with a light, transparent powder.
4th step: Highlighter for awake eyes
If you want, also use a light highlighter on the upper cheekbones and the inner corner of the eyes! This ensures a particularly radiant and alert look.
Further tips against dark circles and puffiness
We have the thinnest skin in the entire body around our eyes. That's why it reacts so sensitively to all kinds of disturbances. These tips will help you reduce dark circles under the eyes:
- Dry skin can appear more translucent, making dark circles more noticeable on dry skin. So keep the eye area well moisturized and nourished!
- Apply a good sunscreen to your face every day to avoid UV damage! Also, use a good pair of sunglasses on sunny days!
- Try to get the most restful sleep possible! A good sleeping environment and a relaxing evening ritual can help you.
- Drinking enough fluids is important to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Use cold compresses to reduce puffiness around the eyes! You can use special cooling masks for the eyes or a cooling eye gel. Cucumber slices or cold tea bags with black or green tea also have a decongestant and cooling effect.
- A gentle eye massage can help improve blood circulation and remove excess fluid. Use your ring fingers because they exert less pressure than the other fingers! Massage the eye area very gently using circular movements!
