My under-eye circle camouflage regime...







Dear Margaret,

       Please make me that lemon dessert:) Speaking of Easter, the season of allergies, I wanted to share my "mission camouflage under eye circle" four step regime. Through much trial and error (and tons of $$ wasted), I have found the perfect under eye combo to beat the appearance of black circles, brighten the area, and help de-puff the swelling. These products aren't cheap (unfortunately) but they do seem to last a very long time and they are definitely worth the cost. After all, "the best things in life are free, the second best are really expensive":) haha

xo,
Kara


The products..

Step 1: Laura Mercier repair eye serum. Dab on dry under eye area.. this product makes that are shine and radiate light.. contrasting with the darkness. It also helps with de-puffing.

Step 2: Bobbi Brown corrector. Use a small flat makeup brush to gently dab the concealer around the eye area.. this strong pigment also contradicts the blackness so that your concealer can go on top of a good base color.

Step 3: Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer. This stuff is so amazing.. You can use it to cover zits and red spots etc. Dab this with your finger over the corrected and softly blend.

Step 4: Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. Use a soft makeup brush to lightly dust the powder over the concealer combo to set the makeup. This way it won't rub off. A little goes a long way!
