How to disguise bruises under the eyes with makeup
To quickly remove bruises under your eyes, you can simply mask them so that they are not visible. It should be borne in mind that you should not use foundation for this. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and thin. Foundation creams will roll off quickly enough and will only accentuate wrinkles. For this reason, it is better to use special concealers – concealers or concealer creams, which contain reflective particles. They will make invisible bruises under the eyes, as well as fine wrinkles.
Choose a shade of concealer or concealer half a tone lighter than your natural skin tone. Before proceeding with the correction of dark circles, first prepare the skin: apply an eyelid gel or a fast-absorbing light cream to the area under the eyes.
A pink shade of a concealing corrector is suitable for pale skin, and a peach shade for dark skin.
Apply a small amount of concealer in gentle strokes using a small brush from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, then blend with your fingertips. To make the bruises under the eyes completely invisible, on top of a thin layer of concealer, apply concealer along the same lines and blend again. Alternatively, you can use a lavender concealer and a small amount of a light foundation on top, which should be half a tone lighter than your main foundation.
When completing eye makeup, focus on the upper eyelid, while trying to draw its contour as carefully as possible.
This way you can visually distract the attention of others from the area under the eyes. Don’t forget to apply blush to the cheekbones as well. They can be coral, peach or cream shades.
You can also hide bruises under the eyes with the help of makeup.
Apply it to the under eye area in this order:
- white
- pink
- yellow
