I don’t know about you, but after a busy Christmas period, my under-eye circles are darker than ever. In a bid to look less tired, I’ve been testing all of the top-rated concealers you could think of, but nothing seems to adequately get rid of the pesky purple shadows around my eyes. As a beauty editor, I’m constantly asking makeup artists for their tips and tricks, so I decided to reach out to Hollie Ellis, pro makeup artist at Bobbi Brown, to find out exactly how I can cover my dark circles for good. As it turns out, Ellis has a secret trick to awaken the eye area, and it has nothing to do with concealer at all.
Instead, Ellis told me that an under-eye corrector is the best way to diminish tired-looking eyes. If I’m being totally honest, although I had heard of under-eye correctors, I didn’t really know what they did. As someone who likes to do their makeup in 10 minutes or less, I’m always reluctant to add extra products to my routine, especially if I’m not sure the product in question will actually make my makeup any better.
However, after speaking to Ellis and finding out exactly how under-eye correctors work, I practically ran to my nearest Boots to try some out for myself, and I can now say that this is a new step in my routine that I will never skip. Of course, I thought it was only right that I shared all the information with you, so keep on scrolling for everything you need to know about disguising your under-eye circles for good.
