Dark circles be Gone!

We have at some time or another have had to deal with the issue of dark under eye circles, as a result of sleep deprivation or just plain old being too busy to get enough rest. It's always great to know that we can remedy this problem with our trust makeup. Check out these makeup tips and I hope they will help those "dark" days.


Choosing a concealer:
Choose a color that's a little lighter than your usual shade if your dark circles are deep hollows, and go a little darker than usual if your dark circles are puffy.


Tips

When choosing make up, remember to counter balance the most prominent undertone of your dark circles. A yellow-base concealer corrects most dark circles.

If you use too much concealer to try to hide your dark circles, you'll wind up making them more obvious. So remember to keep a light touch.

Don't use mascara on your bottom lashes, because the flakes of mascara that frequently fall from the bottom lashes will make your dark circles look darker.

How to Cover Blemishes!

If you are like me you hate to wake up with a surprise staring at you in the mirror. Those pesky blemishes that seem to pop up on the worst day possible where we want to look flawless. Here are some tips to deal with your morning surprise.


After cleansing , toning and moisturizing your skin, and your face is prepped and ready. Apply your concealer, directly to the problem area  and hold it for a minute with your finger. Please don't rub the concealer into the blemish as the heat from your finger tips  will help the concealer blend into your skin. Ensure that the concealer is placed only on the blemish and not the outer areas as it needs to be detailed.
The next step after the concealer application is to proceed to applying your foundation all over your face, after which you will  set it with loose powder.
