Concealing dark circles

To conceal circles, preferably use a cream concealer. If you have very dark circles, this is the best choice, since liquid concealers are too light in coverage.

Make sure that the concealer provides moisture and doesn't dry out the area causing it to look flakey and even aged. This is important as some concealers can make the problem look worse rather than better! (Try Adorn’s mineral Cover Correction Concealer Trio with organic Jojoba oil and Shea butter)

Apply concealer with a synthetic bristle brush for a professional finish to the under eye area or by patting with a clean finger the inner corners of the eye up to the lash line (normally this area is very bluish).

Apply a small amount of product and blend it softly outward.

Use a concealer a shade lighter than that of your face. This helps enhance cheekbones – a great double effect! Don't use one that's too light, it will be noticeable.

When you've finished making up your eyes, you can use Adorn’s Eye Create mineral cream Illuminiser (with jojoba oil and grapefruit extract) in the corner of the eye to brighten and open up the eye area.

Concealing bags

Use a shade of concealer similar to your skin to correct bags. If you use a lighter colour (like I suggested for dark circles), it will draw attention to your bags.

Once you've finished concealing, lock down the whole area with Adorn’s Perfect Finish Mineral Setting Powder with a small puff where your bags are to help further reduce their appearance.

Remember: to hide bags, it's important to avoid applying shimmery powders or illuminating concealers these types of products will make them more noticeable.

Eye shadow colours you should avoid if...

If you have heavy circles and you cannot completely hide them with your concealer, avoid these colours at all costs:

Greens

Blues

Purples

Greys

Instead of the colours above, choose warm colours such as bronzes, golds...

If you have bags

If you have bags, it is more important to avoid certain types of textures, rather than certain colours, such as pearlescent shadows and shimmery or shiny creams, especially on the lower lid. You should also always make a well-defined line with pencil or shadow beneath your lower lashes.
