Under Eye Concealing Trick!

Ever wondered why your under eye circles looked even more pronounced and obvious after concealing? That's probably because you're applying your concealer wrongly. 


I recently learnt this trick from the phenomenal world of Google and it's an amazing trick! Now my under eye area looks well-concealed and because this "triangle" area includes the upper cheekbone area, the concealer looks more blended and put-together. A simple trick that makes a whole lot of difference! 

Instead of just applying concealer in around the eye contours, you should expand the application area to the triangle below the lower eyelid. Locate the side of your nose and the lower eye lid, and then just connect the line to form your triangle! This application method is also called the "Hollywood V" method because many Hollywood makeup artists use this trick on their clients to get that flawless, well-rested eye look. 

Instead of highlighting the under-eye flaws (which can be obvious if concealer is not applied properly), this method will fully hide them! 

Do give it a try! Also, another trick will be to apply concealer using your finger, and not a concealer brush. A concealer brush is good, but applying with your finger is great! I think the warmth of the finger makes the concealer blend more effortlessly. Just pat, pat, pat and blend away. No swiping!!
