Dark Under Eye Circles

Dark Under Eye Circles

Apply foundation first.

Dark circles under eyes can also be covered with face foundation. Use lightest shade foundation in your compact, and wedged sponge or cotton swab. If you are already using the lightest shade in your compact for your facial foundation, you may need to purchase and use the next lighter foundation compact. (For example, if you're using the lightest of the two medium shades for your face, you would purchase the "light" foundation compact and use the darker of its two shades for your circles, which is one-half shade lighter than the lightest of two medium shades.)

Using wedged sponge or cotton swab, place lighter color under eye in the dark circle.

Blend with your foundation sponge.

If more coverage is desired, repeat process with adding more light color in circle with brush and blending with sponge.

Lightly powder to set.

Remember you should only go one-half to one shade lighter than the under eye dark area.

NOTE: Many women use too light of a shade in trying to reduce dark circles. This results in a "RACOON EYE AFFECT" which only makes the dark circles look worse.
