That being said, it's also important to keep in mind seasonality. Multitasking with your old faithful on both under-eyes and blemishes might save time and money, but according to Reagan, the best strategy is to pick a brighter shade for under the eyes, and for blemishes to opt for a foundation-matching shade, “erring on the side of warmth”. Blend out with a concealer brush for a bright, wide-awake under eye.” Clever, huh?īefore picking a shade, decide where you’re actually using your concealer. “For a universally flattering lift effect, apply a small amount of concealer towards the inner corner of the eye and a small amount on the outer corner, pulling upwards in the direction of the temple. Once completed, pat around the edges to melt the concealer onto the surrounding skin.”įor concealing under eyes, it's all about technique, says Dowdall. “Apply in a crosshatch pattern, with light layers of product from the top to bottom of the blemish and then from left to right, building up to your desired level of coverage. “When concealing spots, ‘pinpoint concealing’ works best” says Dowdall. But whose under-eyes match that description? (Nobody’s - the answer is nobody’s.) Reagan suggests laying down moisturiser or eye cream for any areas you are concealing, ensuring “a smooth application, allowing the concealer to blend evenly.” We love CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream, £12. The ideal environment for base makeup is even skin, free of of any dry patches. We hit up Hourglass' Global Beauty Director, Marc Reagan, and Bobbi Brown's Senior Pro Artist, Warren Dowdall, to get some expert advice on finding (and applying) concealer like a pro. As if choosing the best foundation for your skin type wasn't already tough enough, choosing the right concealer to suit your specific needs is another mission all on its own. I will NOT check products for brands that are listed here.If you're looking for an under eye concealer that actually covers dark circles and a cover up that will blur away blemishes, we can help. If your brand is listed, ask your question on that brand’s page. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines, are in the wrong spot or are rude. If your brand is here on the list, I will not answer you on this post. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists.
