Beauty Tip: How to Cover Dark Circles and Blemishes
Sheila Dicks


Unless your skin is absolutely flawless, concealer is a must. So
before you use foundation have blemishes and dark circles
concealed. The first step in concealing, whether it is dark
circles or blemishes is choosing the right concealer. A good
concealer does not go on dry and make your skin look cracked but
is smooth, creamy and blends easily. Concealers that work best
have a yellowish tone.


Dark Circles:

1. Before applying concealer gently pat a light eye cream under
the eye to moisturize the skin. Use your ring finger to pat on
moisturizer and concealer since the skin in this area is extra
delicate and the ring finger, which has the least amount of
strength, is less likely to pull or tear.

2. To apply concealer use a concealer brush (similar to a lip
brush with soft bristles) to get in those hard to reach areas
such as the inner corners of eyes and to get concealer exactly
were you want it.

3. Apply the concealer under your eyes up as far as the lash line
to the inner corners. Do not apply concealer to you eyelids
because your eye shadow will crease. Then, pat to blend with your
ring finger.

4. Apply foundation over the concealer, also in a patting motion
around the eyes, being careful not to rub any concealer off.

5. In order for your foundation to have a nice clear look you
must use an exfoliant regularly. After you have applied
foundation use powder to keep the foundation in place.


Blemishes:

1. Moisturize as usual and then blot a little concealer on the
blemish using a concealer brush.

2. Apply foundation

3. If the blemish is still visible use the brush to paint a
little foundation over the blemish.

4. Use just one dab of powder on the blemish to set the foundation.

5. You're ready to go.
