1. Put a SMALL amount of eyelid primer under your eye. It will stop your concealer from creasing.
2. Do not gob on too much eye moisturizer before applying makeup, it sets into the lines and will bring out more creasing in the under eye area.
3. Use an Eyeshadow Blending brush to swirl on the concealer. It will give a blended, non-streaky application.
4. After applying concealer, lightly press a tissue onto that area so it soaks up the oils and leaves the pigment. This will prevent sliding/bottom lash mascara transferring.
5. Do not apply concealer with your fingers! (Oil transfer/bacteria spreads/does not apply evenly)
6. Under eye concealers do not work the same for everyone! Bobbi Brown: Creamy! Mac: Cakey, dry and heavy Nars: Lightweight and dry Benefit: Heavy-Duty, dry Makeup Forever: Highly pigmented ELF: Gel-like consistency, sheer Smashbox: Blendable, Long Lasting Temptu: Light reflecting Dior: Smooth Lancome: Natural, moves too much, not for heavy duty coverup Korres: Sets into wrinkles...wouldnt recommend Urban Decay: Matte, doesnt slide Tarte: Medium coverage Stila: Medium coverage, non-drying YSL: Covers and blends well Too-Faced: Sheer Shiseido: Thin consistency (Also: for some skin tones, an under-eye BRIGHTENER will do the trick instead of concealer!)
7. Concealers can be applied under or over the foundation. Powder is the last step (optional. apply very lightly or use HD finishing powder!)
8. Use 1 to 2 shades lighter for under the eye. Blend!
9. Have multiple shades of concealer for your tan/pale days!
Different Color Concealers:Yellow: Covers Veins
