Under Eye Circle Trick?

[swedyn08]

The reason orange lipstick works so well is because the peach shades work to balance out the blues and purples in the skin. It's definitely a trick I have seen many makeup artists use, and a few newbies mess up pretty bad.

A great alternative would be the Smashbox foundation primer. If you get the peach toned one, I like to work it in under the eyes until you get that smooth matte feeling. Go ahead and cake the primer on a little bit under the eyes too. Then just apply your concealer and/or foundation on top of that and blend out.

What I do for my eyes is Benefit's Ooh La La Lift and Bo-Oing Concealer. Take some of the Lift and dab a drop in the corners of the eyes then blend it all together with the concealer. This magical combo will take the lift and help to brighten, tighten, and lighten the circles around the eye while the concealer gives you that instant coverage.

I saw Leesha's video a while back and have been using the orange lipstick ever since.

First I moisturize my whole face. Next, I put a dab of a matte orange lipstick under each eye. I then blend it into the moisturizer. I put MAC peach liquid concealer on top and blend that in. Next, I apply my mineralize satin finish foundation to the whole face, blend that into the under-eye area and lastly set with a loose powder.

I go from bruised-looking to flawless! LOVE IT!

Kisses to Leesha!

I was watching Enkore's tut on youtube one day and he used orange eyeshadow too. I didn't think it would work for me but I will def try. He used the orange and then a concealer over to blend. I'll have to watch again to get specific shades...

Has anyone tried this with the same or similar shade/skintone? And I've also noticed that MAC concealer doesn't work for me either, it's too dry and looks grey on me. Actually, I'm loving Loreal's new concealer these days, it really works well...

i have really dark circles and im NC30/25 i have found benefit erase paste really great it very peachy,orangey toned x

I was told using red lipstick or lipliner works... never tried it yet though.

I have a Graftobian corrector pallete (Graftobian Theatrical Makeup) and the shade of the left is for undereyes/blue correction. It is salmon-like now that I think of it LOL. It does work, but my skin is oily and the formula just doens't hold up on me all day. So I end up blending my normal concealor over it as well.

OMG i just tried this trick after i saw xsparkage's Vid on youtube!!
Vid link:YouTube - Say Goodbye to Undereye Circles!


and guess what?



IT WORKED LIKE MAGICE!
i cant believe it!!!!

i have a horrible dark almost BLACK circles! and it went PUFF!
i used Morange lipstick ... and it turns my balck circles to scary orange lool

but when i applied my NW25 mac select cover-up conealer
it matched my whole face even without foundation on! looked so natural!

dont forget to sattled it up with loose powder
coz mac select cover-up after while crease in fine lines

but i just bought Estee Lauder Double Wear consealer they
said it stays on like forever and it wont crease at all .. it have lil bit drying feeling on the skin maybe thats why

so putting the eye cream b4 it would be great
and amazing with this TRICK!

I went to a bobbi brown counter determined to try and buy their corrector which is so much raved about and is salmon colored. The lady at the counter nicely told me that yellow was much better for my skintone(pale and cool) and I really think she was right, it looked much more natural. The salmon one actually looked more orange.So I got the cream concealer in sand instead.

ETA: And oops, I just realized this is the deep skintone section. Well, anyways.

I've heard that her salmon concealer is a stand out item. I've heard raves about it from all sorts of skintones.

I'm an NC40(I have a mix of golden and pink undertones) and use a peachy flesh toned concealer under my regular tan concealer, it works perfect!
