I loved The Great Gatsby so much, despite the mixed reviews it must be receiving. I had initially wanted to film this look, but my camcorder has been acting up so I tried my hands at some easy-to-follow visuals. Something light and elegant, with a little oomph!
1. Prime and conceal
On the left side is my completely bare face and imperfections in all its splendour. You can see that I have rather uneven skin tones and a lot of redness. My main concern is my under-eye circles, which I inherited from my mother. I’ve noticed that no matter how much sleep I get, the dark circles under my eyes never seem to go away.
As someone who fanatically buys one concealer after the other, I almost gave up hope on finding the perfect cover up. I am honestly so in love with the Benefit boi-ing concealer! I’ve learnt that when it comes to concealing, you have to look for a product that is the same colour as your natural skin-tone. The common mistake that a lot of women make is picking a concealer that is much too light, resulting in enhancing that area under the eye.
That’s what a highlighter is for! Whilst I do love the night-time brightening look of a highlighter below your eyes, concealing is a whole different field.
So, my advice for my fellow natural-panda-eyed ladies is to find a concealer in your skin tone (or only a little bit lighter). This way, you can conceal the dark circles without bringing attention to the under-eye area.
