Using the Wrong Lighting
It’s not just about the products when it comes to makeup. The light you use to apply your makeup has a significant impact on the final appearance of your face. Natural light or an illuminated mirror that replicates strong, white light are the best options.
Makeup applied under a yellow or dim light will make your skin appear paler than it really is. When you walk outside and catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you’ll see that you’ve applied ten times as much makeup as you intended.
Too Much Concealer Under Eyes
It’s all too easy to go overboard with concealer. Come on, it’s called concealer for a reason, right? Some formulas, on the other hand, will cake and settle on your face, making your under eyes look even worse.
To get the hang of concealers and where they’ll work best on your face, you’ll need some practice. Use a product that is fine, creamy, and blendable for the undereye area. Keep in mind that blueish tones in the inner eye can make circles appear darker, so don’t forget about that as well!
