Conceal dark circles through make-up

Dr Blossom Kochhar

STEP 1

Apply an orange colour concealer under and over the eye lids. Since the tissues around the eyes are moving, the dark circles are also not just under the eyes but also run on the top lid. It is important to cover both the lower under eye and top lid with an orange concealer with the help of your fingertips/a sponge/a small-flat brush.
STEP 2

Cover the orange concealer with a foundation. Apply foundation with a foundation brush/sponge. It is recommended to use a foundation that matches the skin tone than to use a lighter/darker shade. Lighter/ darker foundations tend to make the skin around the eyes look grey.
STEP 3

Set the concealer and foundation with a loose powder to prevent the product from creasing or forming lines under the eyes. Make-Up Designory’s Loose Powder in Butter Cream is used to set the base.
STEP 4

Complete the look by applying appropriate/suitable make-up.
STEP 5

To get rid of dark circles through homemade recipe, you need to take a raw potato. Grate and extract the juice out of it. Soak a cotton ball into it and apply to your dark circles. Keep it for 20 minutes then rinse it out. Or soak a cotton ball into a warm tea without milk and dab around your dark circles. Or you can take a cucumber cut it into thick slices. Freeze it in a freezer for 20 minutes. Place the slices on the dark circles. Leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse it out with water.
