After reading this post here on The Beauty Department, I had a route through my makeup stash and decided to try two step concealing. In the 'Lumin-eyes' post The Beauty Department actually uses the concealer to highlight the brow bone area, I've not shown that step here as realistically for my everyday make up times limited, so it's a step I feel I can miss.
Everyone should have at lest two concealers in their makeup collection, a creamy/thick one that conceals dark circles/blemishes, and a luminous sheer concealer that has brightening properties and can double up as a highlight. The two I used are the NARS Creamy concealer (the best I've tried, words can't describe my love for this) and the YSL Touche Eclat, unfortunately this product receives a lot of hate in the beauty community I believe when used correctly it can be a fabulous multi use product to have in your makeup collection.
Apply the creamy concealer to the outer eye area. Random fact but when I conceal my dark circles I literally apply this just to my eye area, I'm a firm believer in pin point concealing, I'm always surprised by how many ladies apply tons of concealer on their whole face, I believe if you find a foundation that works well there's no need for the added layer of concealer. By using the thicker concealer on the outer part of the eye area there's no fear that dark circles will shine through as you still have your coverage.
Next take your luminous concealer, and apply from the centre of your eye right through to the inner corner. This step makes your under eye area look a little brighter and almost adds a sort of highlighted effect. Everyone knows the wonders of a slight bit of shimmer in the inner corners, I find blending the concealer makes my eye area look a lot brighter.
Once you've blended the two concealers your left with a brighter eye area, dark circles are covered and this just transforms my overall look everything looks a little more fresh and radiant. I see this concealing method as double duty it's a saviour for those mornings where I haven't had much sleep, (which seems to happen an awful lot a lately.)
Do you mix concealers? What are your go to concealers for dark circles?
