Hi beauties 💁! Just wanted to share my routine with you girls on how I cover my dark circles! 🐼

First of you want to start of with a rather thick eye cream, which will prevent the concealer from creasing.
I like to use the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye, because it leaves my under eye area feeling very smooth and hydrated! Then I go in with a corrector! A corrector will help tone down purply to pinky colors on your skin. For this step I love to use the Benefit Erase Paste. I think everyone with dark circles should try out the shade 'fair' because it has a peachy undertone which will allow the dark color to be covered up. I blend out the corrector with a damp Beautyblender! I find blending out cream products under the eyes with a Beautyblender will prevent the product from creasing.
Then I go in with my concealer. For that step I take my MAC Prolongwear concealer. Try to look in the NC range for a shade 2 to 3 shades lighter then your skin. I buff that concealer in with the Real Techniques Contour Brush. I like to use this brush because the hair of the brush is synthetic and really keeps the full coverage of the amazing concealer. The last step is crucial in the world of under eye concealing : setting with powder. I tried many powders to set my under eyes, but the powder that works best for me is the Givenchy Poudre Première in translucent. I use the Luxe Highlight brush from ZOEVA with this powder.
I hope these tips help you girls. 🎀
