Perfect under-eye makeup

I am always conscious of my eyes. The first area in which you can see tiredness, getting old, being on party last night, well, just everything. My eyes are seriously the entry to my soul. For that reason I try my best to make it look great. I am always trying new, better eye treatments and masks, but today I want to talk about how I am perfecting it by makeup. 

There are 3 steps to get perfect under eye area:

STEP 1

After you hydrated the area with your favourite eye cream, sometimes just concealer that you put over can either dry it out back or crease as there is just too much moisture. So either your concealer will be gone by the end of the day or creases like hell.

I discovered amazing Smashbox photo finish hydrating under eye primer. We all know Smashbox has got amazing primers, but this my is my favourite one. It is just so smart. Apply your eye cream, this primer and problem solved. And it works.

STEP 2

As the eye area is perfectly prepped you can go with your favourite concealer. If it is just something highlighting (if you are so lucky not having dark circles) or proper hiding anything over there, make sure that everything is nice and blended.

I started to love my MAC prolongwear concealer with Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge which is quicker than my fingers or any brushes. Just apply concealer in triangle shape to brighten (if applied just underneath your eye, it can create REVERSE panda eye look). Just work it into the skin, so there is no visible concealer line, just perfectly smooth and even.

STEP 3

The last step is setting this whole thing. Depending on your dryness, you can set it with rosewater, or going for a powder. I personally like Smashbox Halo yellow color correcting hydrating powder as it is hydrating, colour correcting and setting at the same time. You can't go wrong with this one. The only down side is that it is zoo small. Only 7.1g as your regular powder is roughly 12 g. I suppose you will use it around the eyes only, it is worth it. If you have though redness, I would highly recommend Clinique redness solutions powder with 11.6g in it:)
