LOOK WELL-RESTED: MEDIUM TO FULL
COVERAGE
Tools you need:
Concealer or
foundation and powder.
Step 1:
Dip the brush into the concealer.
For fuller coverage on a larger area, use
a foundation brush. For quick and easy
coverage, use a concealer brush.
Quick tip:
If you don’t have a concealer, use
a liquid foundation; squeeze a tiny bit onto
your hand and let it oxidise. The longer it is
exposed to the air, the more concentrated
the pigment will become and you can then
easily use it as a concealer. If you use a
cream foundation, then build up light layers
of the product.
Step 2:
Press the flat side of the brush on the
centre of the dark circle.
Step 3
: Continue dabbing or pressing as you
move the brush along the dark area.
Step 4:
Continue this motion, making sure
you apply it to every patch of darkness, even
the inner and outer corners.
Step 5:
Gently blend with your finger or use
your brush on the outer edges for a flawless
look. Now you’re ready to go!

PRO TIPS
For staying power in the heat, always set
your makeup:
Use either loose powder or
a compact.
Always pick a creamy concealer; neither
too dry nor too runny:
A light, creamy
concealer that won’t crack or seep into the
fine lines around the eyes works best.
Always choose a yellow-base concealer,
in a tone that’s a bit
lighter than your skin
colour:
This will cancel
out any blue or purple
hues and also brighten
the eye area.
