Dark Under- Eye Circles

Every morning when I wake up, I always seem to have dark under-eye circles. I don't like looking tired when I'm really not! I've tried numerous cover-ups and creams, but they haven't helped at all. How can I look awake and ready for the day? 

     Dark circles are often hereditary, which can be a drag because it means there's no real way to prevent them (darn genetics!). But luckily for those of us who suffer from the dreaded discoloration, there are ways to treat and cover up dark under eye circles.

      The biggest mistakes are to use a heavier concealer around eye area. These are best for sides of nose and blemishes and only should be used in extreme moderation. Try using foundation first to see how much of the job it takes care of  then using a concealer in a tone a bit lighter than your skin color, in a brush form that is targeted for brightening the under eye area. Use this in the entire under eye area. If that didn't do the trick then use a heavier concealor which matches skin color exactly on only the lower part of orbital bone (where the darkest crescent forms). If you have dark circles under the eyes it is best to stick with light shimmering eye shadow and to skip the heavy eyeliner. Heavy eyeliners will add more shadowing and light tone shadows will brighten all over eye area."Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base to even and brighten the lids which help brighten whole area. If all else fails, try using a "pop of bright lipstick" to draw attention away from eye circles!

Beauty Tips| Complexion Concealer

Concealer is supposed to mask problems but applied the wrong way, it can actually magnify a zit.

1. Look for a matte or oil-free concealer
It will adhere better to the skin and wont slide off like a creamy formula can. One with sulfur also helps keep skin clear.

2. Remember light shade enhance dark ones recede.
Never put a too-light concealer or shimmery powder onto a raised bump its like shinning a spotlight on it. Match the concealer to your skin, then use a brush to lightly tap on a slightly darker matte eye shadow shade to give the illusion of shrunken bump

3. Layer
Think of a pimple as a tiny hill on your face. you need to apply a few thin layers to the blemish and the area around it to make the spot visually shrink. Use a concealer brush to pat it on and blend well. Your fingers are a breeding ground for bacteria, which worsens acne don't forget that.
