Last week we talked about achieving flawless foundation application, but sometimes foundation just isn’t enough for covering up those stubborn under-eye bags, puffiness, dark spots and blemishes. Thankfully, we have some advice on how to solve these pesky problems!
One age-old trick we love is cucumbers! Each morning, gently place two cold cucumber slices on your eyes for approximately 30-60 seconds to reduce puffiness. (Metal spoons work just as well!)
For brightening the eye area, invest in a good concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your skin tone to brighten the eye area. (Apply with a concealer brush such as the ones listed down below).
To cover and disguise blemishes, use a concealer that is the same shade as your skin tone to make coverage appear natural. Color-tinted concealers can come in hand for trouble-shooting specific problems;
- Green-tinted concealer masks redness associated with acne and rosacea
- Yellow-based concealer hides dark under eye circles and other bluish skin discolorations
Finally, set your concealed spots and areas with sheer, loose powder.
Check out the various Sigma Beauty brushes perfect for concealing and correcting…
