Let's face it, no one is perfect.. we have all been there & done that.
In this post, i'll show you my tips & tricks to cover up blemishes, breakouts, and dark spots. Let's begin!


Rule #1: Match your foundation

If you want your blemish to be perfectly concealed, use a concealer in the exact shade of your foundation. If you are not using foundation, make sure it simply matches your skin tone.
If the shade is a tad darker or lighter, it will not match and stand out rather than conceal.
I find the L'oreal True Match Concealer - $8.99 works best for me as it hides and conceals blemishes without caking or smudging and fading.
I sometimes find the foundation in the True Match line is enough to conceal my blemishes, without the use of concealer. L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup - $10.95
Rule #2: Precision
I realize that when applying concealer around the blemish, I get worse results. Apply the concealer precisely on top of the exact location of the blemish and tap lightly to blend it inward, rather than around. You can do this using your fingers, or a concealer brush.


 Rule #3: Tap, don't rub
Make sure you slightly and carefully tap the concealer onto the blemish. You don't want to conceal the area around the blemish, only the blemish itself. Tapping also results in better concealing, as rubbing will cause it to fade into the skin.

 Rule #4: Foundation, then concealer
Apply (liquid) foundation first, then move on to the concealer.
If you were to apply concealer first, the foundation will fade away the concealer which will cause a cakey mess.
You want to apply your foundation first, to create a smooth canvas, and only then conceal the blemishes.

 Rule #5: Set with powder
Once you apply your foundation and concealer, let the liquid set for a little while, and then move on to set it with powder. This way it will stay put all day. It is important to set by tapping the powder onto your face, rather than sweeping it across your face, moving the liquid around. Otherwise, this will cause, well, another cakey mess.




I hope these few rules helped you girls to conceal your blemishes and breakouts! Continues washing your face routinely to keep those guys away.

So, I thought this would be the best advice to start with considering it's my biggest problem! Concealing dark under eye circles is very simple, all you need to do is correct & conceal with some fabulous products!

My first tip, use a primer. This will prevent creasing of the corrector & concealer you will be applying, as well as creating a canvas for the products. It will smooth out your skin and mask any pores or fine lines you may have.
My next tip, use a corrector. This comes before concealer! If you want to conceal the darkness, you will need to correct the dark color first. Either a yellow color based corrector, or salmon color based corrector will do. Whatever works best for you! I use a yellow color based one.
I do not own the Bobbi Brown Corrector - $23.00, however, I've heard a billion positive reviews & raves on it! 
Make sure to blend, blend, blend!!!

Now, it's time to conceal! I personally love using my concealer to highlight and brighten my under eye area, so when I conceal, I apply it in a 'V' shape under my eyes & blend it in and outward. You definitely DO NOT need to do this, you can simply apply a few dots under your eye & blend! Apply as much as you would like.
Don't forget to BLEND well!
High End: Mac Studio Finish Concealer -$18.00
TIP: When applying concealer, let it sit under your eye for a few seconds before you blend it out. This will make the results blend 10x more flawlessly!

Okay, almost done.. Last but not least, you need to set all these product with some powder! 
I suggest using a puff when you apply powder under your eyes, only because I feel like a brush would knock all the product off, whereas a puff sets it into your face. 
However, any drugstore powder should work! Read the tip below for some help.
TIP: I find that when I use white color based powder, it creates a white cast in photos. Try using a slightly tinted powder (yellow, or salmon depending on your skin tone). 

After you set the products under your eyes, wait a few seconds, and use a fluffy brush to knock the excess powder off.
TIP: Be gentle while doing this! You don't want to knock off the concealer! Slightly brush off excess powder in a downward motion for a flawless finish.

This is all my advice for perfectly concealed dark under eye circles that will last all day! Hope it helps ;)
