Today for the first lesson, before we go into all the technicalities of the subject, we shall learn....

HOW TO CONCEAL DARK EYE CIRCLES

Yes, these dark panda-like rings that appear below your eyes when, like all my friends, sleep is not in your dictionary. Do not mistake them for the rubbish I have under my eyes - Those are hereditary. But there's a way to conceal them anyway.

So, to conceal Dark Eye Circles due to fatigue/illness/anorexia in the 21st century

Tools:
1. Colour Corrector


2. Concealer Brush


3. Foundation

(I recommend Chanel Vitalumiere, as it nourishes skin while providing an even skin tone. Makes your face feel smoother and is non-drying)

Procedure:

1. Apply the PINK corrector to the dark dark lines using the concealer brush. Please only apply to the HOLLOW of the eyebags, and not the puffy parts, as the pink will draw the hollow forward, levelling the eye area. DO NOT use concealer for this step, the pink gives a much much better effect while concealer would just look cakey.

2. With your fingers (since they afford the greatest control), pat a little foundation over the pink areas, being sure to blend properly, until the pink is indistinct.

3. TADAH!!! no more eyebags. I guarantee.

Paiseh damn longwinded. But be sure to look forward to the next lecture: Makeup Brushes.
