Not sleeping well? It’s normal to worry the dark circles. “When we suffer from fatigue or stress, blood flow slows down and this causes a lack of nutrients in the skin. As a result, the hydration level decreases, producing flaccidity and lack of luminosity in the skin”, explains the professional make-up artist Cristina Lobato. On the other hand, both fatigue and stress can also trigger skin inflammations that cause breakouts, especially in people suffering from atopic dermatitis or other skin conditions.
As for the eye area, to counteract the effects caused by fatigue (puffiness and dark circles), it is advisable to apply a cream with specific active ingredients for the eyes. “Choose a contour that moisturizes and also helps to reduce congestion and dilation of the small blood vessels in the eye groove,” says the expert. “Once you have provided the skin with the necessary nutrients with creams and topical treatments, you have succeeded in mitigating the organic consequences,” emphasizes the make-up artist.
How to apply concealer to remove dark circles
“Including a concealer/illuminator in the makeup bag to hide dark circles and discolorations while bringing harmony to the face is a very important element,” emphasizes Lobato. The correct way to “do magic” is as follows:
- Apply the concealer to the dark circles, above the tear duct, and blend with a brush towards the waterline.
- Choose a medium coverage foundation to complete the correction and unification, you will see it immediately improve the appearance of your skin.
- Apply the concealer again, this time vertically from the tear duct towards the wing of the nose. Blend to blend the product.
- Make up the eyes with a cream eye shadow to bring color and light to the look. The mascara is especially beautifying as it helps to tighten the appearance of the eyelid.
- Choose a blush also in cream, as this texture blends better with the skin. Especially on those days when your skin is a bit more tired.
Bonus tip: Since fatigue is more visible on the top of the face, you should protrude the lip more so that congestion goes unnoticed. Choose a lipstick with a creamy texture and, most importantly, the color that makes you feel more flattering.
