Tips for concealing dark circles with 100% natural ingredients
Getting enough sleep and staying hydrated are the basics to prevent the appearance of dark circles . However, there are other tips that can help you hide them more easily .
Masks with natural ingredients
Several plants have particularly interesting virtues to quickly reduce the swelling caused by dark circles . To take full advantage of their benefits, it is possible to make masks in the form of poultices, by sticking the fruit or plant directly on your dark circles , or by placing a cotton pad soaked in the juice of the plant.
The main ingredients to use are generally:
- lemon juice for its antioxidant properties,
- the ice cube mask ,
- cornflower water with decongestant properties,
- Cucumber slices are rich in copper, which in particular promote the production of collagen in your skin, making it firmer,
- green tea leaves for its detoxifying benefits, which help to eliminate toxins more quickly, but also to reduce the bags under your eyes and dark circles due to congestion in your skin.
Creams rich in decongestant active ingredients
Some creams rich in caffeine or vitamins B and C are particularly interesting to accelerate the decongestion of your dark circles . You can even give yourself a little massage by making circular movements around your eyes. This action will activate your blood circulation and thus reduce the congestion of the dark circles.
How to subtly use makeup to reduce dark circles?
Although the virtues of the natural ingredients mentioned above are effective, the result is not necessarily immediate. This is why makeup can be an ideal alternative to completely hide your dark circles and brighten your complexion.
Moisturize your skin well every day
To better fix your makeup and preserve the natural radiance of your skin, do not hesitate to use a moisturizer adapted to your skin. Apply your cream daily without neglecting the area of your dark circles.
Better hydration of your skin will promote micro-vascularization of dark circles and will also allow you to better set your concealer and make-up afterwards.
Use concealer
A concealer or corrector is a cosmetic that allows you to tint certain areas of your face, in order to better unify your complexion and hide any small imperfections. Generally, you must first unify your complexion by applying a foundation, or a BB cream adapted to the color of your skin tone. Then, you will need to apply your concealer to your dark circles and use a brush to unify your complexion.
Favor luminous eyeshadows
To brighten your eyes and counteract the dark effect of dark circles, opt for a light eyeshadow that matches the color of your iris . Orange, for example, is perfect for blue eyes . If, on the other hand, you have brown eyes , gold can be one of your best allies. Above all, avoid cold colors and blue or gray tones that will only highlight your dark circles even more.
Also avoid smoky eye makeup , which would enhance the dark colors of the dark circles.
Enhance your look and boost the curl of your eyelashes
To enhance your eyes without accentuating your dark circles, draw a line of eyeliner on the upper lash line , or consider a permanent eyeliner if you often have dark circles. This will make your eyes look bigger and emphasize the upper part of your eye and not the dark circles. Avoid drawing a line on the lower lash line, as this will emphasize the lower part of your eyes, where your dark circles are.
Distract attention
In addition to hiding your dark circles with concealer, for example, you can divert attention to another area of the face. Redoing your eyebrows and reshaping them well allows, for example, to draw the eye to the upper part of the face , rather than to the dark circles. Similarly, a pretty lipstick or permanent lip makeup will draw attention to your mouth , and less to your eyes.
