HOW TO COVER DARK CIRCLES...
WITH RED LIPSTICK?!
I know, it's crazy, but it works! I have really dark circles in the corners of my under eyes, I hate applying loads of concealer as I use enough already... anymore just looks cakey. So I found a cure in red lipstick, red cancels out blue tones, like under eye bags, and I'm sure some sort of special product perfectly designed for this is already out there but red lipstick is doing the trick for me!
I apply after my primer, before any concealer foundation, your going to be blending this out so you only need a tiny bit, I apply more heavy in the problem area (corners for me!) and blend with my finger then put concealer on top, I will continue you blending with concealer until I am happy with the colour and then go onto to apply my foundation!
So the bottom of the first picture is the kind of blend you are aiming for before you apply your foundation, I also apply MAC Pro Longwear NC15 on top for a highlight but it also provides some coverage too, this is not essential though. Both these photos have no filters what so ever, so this is a true reflection on how the red lipstick trick pays off...
You can use any red lipstick, any concealer, and your everyday foundation, this will work a treat. Everyones severity of dark circles are different, and I have seen other bloggers trying with nude lipsticks which has worked for their specific needs, so I'm gonna try a few different, and if red lipstick doesn't work for you, try another shade!
Hope this solves your dark circle problems like it did mine...
