Whether its lack of sleep, hyperpigmentation or even genetics, dark circles can make achieving glowing, fresh-faced makeup seem nearly impossible. If you\u2019ve tried every brightening concealer and red lipstick under the sun and are still not seeing the results you desire, here is a makeup trick that can help target those dark pockets underneath your eyes. The product that you normally use to make your cheekbones glow brighter could be the key to brighter under eyes.<\/p>\n
Most people use highlighter at the highpoints of their faces because it gives off a brightening effect, but the illumination from the highlighters also makes it a good product to deal with dark under-eye circles. Highlighters are used to add light or brightness to the face, and by using them under the eye, it can help to illuminate dark or sunken bags. And while concealer is usually used to cover up what we don\u2019t want to see, using a highlighter can help color correct and even bounce light off of those dark blue and purple-ish areas.<\/p>\n
You can also use this trick on the other parts of your face where you would normally conceal. This trick is even effective when trying to cover acne scars.<\/p>\n
When applying highlight underneath your eyes, you\u2019ll want to avoid using very glittery or shimmering highlighters, so that you can create a natural lit-from-within illumination. Instead of using a glitter highlighter, use one that has a yellow, peach or lavender undertone. To achieve a seamless brightening effect, start at the top of your cheekbones and in one stroke bring the product underneath your eyes to cover the dark areas.<\/p>\n
For this trick, you\u2019ll want to use a highlighter that works well for your skin texture. If you\u2019re someone who has oily skin, opt for a powder highlighter that isn\u2019t too glittery. A powder product with an illuminating finish will help cover those dark circles and offer a fresh-faced look. If your skin falls on the dry side of the spectrum, use a liquid or cream highlight to help hydrate the skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
