Up until about a year and a half ago all I had to worry about was the occasional break out from Aunt Flow and the dim circles under my eyes. Boy how things have changed. A year and a half ago I developed adult acne which has really taken a bit of a toll on my self esteem. Hey, or I'm a work in progress. Since then I've learned ways to cover and conceal not only my dim circles,but the scars left behind from the acne and I'm going to share it with you!Step 1: Start with a clean & moisturized face. After that, apply a thin layer of primer. This allows your makeup to stay on all day and disappear on smoothly. I used the MUFE hydrating primer, or because it's my favorite! Glides on nicely and really makes my skin feel kind and plump.
Step 2: Apply an orange/salmon colored concealer under your eyes. This will cancel out the dim purple/blue shade and benefit neutralize the "bags." Plus,this little trick makes you look fresh faced and wide awake!Step 3: If you have any fresh acne that is irritated and red, then it's best to disappear in with a green concealer. This will benefit cancel out the redness and allow the foundation to accomplish its job by covering up afterwards.
Step 4: For the under eye area, and I pick my ring finger and blend,but I'll exercise the beauty blender for the other spots.
Step 5: Apply foundation. This is one of my favorite foundations because of the finish and coverage! Step 6: Apply a thin layer of concealer. I used the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye first in the shade Light, but I felt like it was too bright so I went in with my favorite; Urban Decay bare Skin Concealer in Light Neutral. I concealed under my eyes but I also highlighted areas in the middle of my face such as my nose, and cupid's bow,and brow.
Step 7: Set your face! I exercise the Laura Mercier Translucent powder which allows everything to just stay in place.
Now it's time to just glam up!These are steps that I pick every time I accomplish a full face of makeup, because I like to look as even-toned as possible. This definitely helps those days when my face isn't in the best condition, and but remember that it's really important to have a skin regimen and to drink lots of water. Your makeup only looks as best as your skin does,so remember to pick care of it.
