Tyra Banks recently aired a show in which she walked onto the stage with no make up on. None, zilch, nada! I have never seen Tyra without makeup before and I was shocked to see just how bad her dark circles.
The whole point of segment was for Trya to reveal how easy it is to cover up the dark circles and look flawless without needing a professional makeup artist to do it for you. Tyra recommends using a yellow concealer as it helps with neutralizing the dark circles and making them vanish.
Here are Tyra's steps:
1.) Take the concealer and put it on the back of your hand to warm it up. This prevents it from being "cakey".
2.) Use your middle finger and pat the concealer under the eye and look up as you do it. By looking up you will work the concealer evenly and will prevent missing areas which create crease lines under the eyes which tend to stand out more. Tyra also uses concealer in the corners of the mouth because some people have darker skintone in the corners of their mouth and this helps lighten it up.
3.) Now add your regular foundation to the face and put the foundation over that concealer.
4.) take a loose powder which is a shade lighter than your normal face powder color and apply it under the eyes followed by the regular loose powder that you use for your entire face.
That's all there is to it! Tyra has a video on youtube where you can watch the steps if you want as well.
Concealer is great for making dark circles disappear but it is important to choose the right concealer color. If you have scars or flaws with your skin that you want to further hide, you can check out body concealer.
