Treat. Start by doing your regular skincare routine. Make sure to get the moisturizer really well under the eyes, if you dont have a eye cream just use a couple layers of your moisturizer. I love Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream & then i put a little Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer by Kiehls [only use this if you have puffy under eyes as well]
Let it absorb for a few minutes.
Only use a tiny amount of each of this products since you will be using concealers, while letting each product properly absorb.
Conceal. Next, use a peach/orange concealer shade to conceal only the dark areas under the eye. The trick is finding a good shade that is a shade darker than your skin, it's needs to be dark enough to conceal the dark areas. Don't worry, we use a lighter concealer to brighten up the whole eye area. I love Benefit Erase Paste it's a perfect orange/peach tone. NYX has a great cheaper version Dark Circle Concealer
Brighten. After you have blended in the orange concealer. [use damp beauty blender with tapping motions, or just use you ring finger and tap the concealer into your skin. Be careful not to move the product around.] Apply a brighter concealer on top, make sure this is 1-2 shades lighter. I love Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer kit http://m.sephora.com or Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser is a great product too & apply it from under eyes to bottom of the nose in a triangle shape. [blend in with beauty blender]
Set. Anytime you put a cream/liquid on its best to set it. Especially the under eyes. Creasing can be a wreck! I love setting with the powder in the Bobbie Brown kit or Laura Mercier translucent powder.
