You need to find an accurate color that matches your skin tone. Dark circles will look prominent and highlighted over a mismatched or wrong foundation. Moreover, if you have incredibly dark circles, make sure you go for foundations that have a thick consistency. Foundations that are sheer or too liquidy won’t work well with your dark circles.
There are specific steps that we follow when we are talking about dark circles in general. For example, the area that surrounds your eyes needs to be nicely moisturized.
You should then apply the correct color corrector and blend it nicely with the help of your fingers or any other makeup blending tools.
I prefer my fingers when I apply a color corrector. Using your finger, in my opinion, is better because a beauty blender tends to take more of the product. I usually take a small amount of product in my fingers and apply it under my eyes. This particular technique helps in blending the product in a better and effective way.
Moving on to the next step, take a concealer of your choice (preferably a yellow-toned one) and apply it under your eyes. Yellow will magically cancel out the darkness underneath your eyes, and your skin would appear bright and radiant.
Once applying the concealer is finished, do the rest of your face. Apply an excellent, thick foundation and blend it with a damp beauty blender. Lightly press the foundation under your eyes and make sure there are no creases or fine lines.
Pro-Tip: After applying a layer of foundation, I tend to wait a couple of minutes before applying my next foundation layer; this helps the foundation stay longer
Once you’re done with your foundation, lightly apply loose powder under your eyes and let it sit for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. This particular technique is also known as baking.
