Concealing your dark under eye circles?? Make sure you're doing it right!

Here's for all the ladies like myself who try so hard to cover up those shameful blemishes, dark under eye circles and other  uneven spots on your face. 
    Just when we thought there was a miracle for our situation i.e the almighty 'Concealer'. Make up seems to be the go to remedy for temporarily getting that flawless look you've always wanted. But here's the problem with concealing your insecurities. Concealer has a tendency to get stuck in little creases and fine lines which highlights these spots rather than neutralising them.
    Well, Ladies there's yet another remedy for this problem and I'm here to give you tips and tricks on how to stop your under eye concealer from creasing. 

1. Apply face oil underneath your eyes. This plumps up the creases below your eyes and therefore allows the concealer to sit better on your skin rather than sinking into the lines. 

2. Apply your concealer to the under part of your eyes, coming downwards in a triangular form and then blend. 

After you have blended in your concealer properly under your eyes, continue with your normal make up routine. 
 The oil under the concealer does the trick and trust me, your eyes would stay popping all day. 

You're welcome my beautiful Ladies 😘

Things you need to know to get flawless Eyebrows



1. To get your eyebrows to look nice and full, lightly shade the hairs above and below your brows to create a shadow. Make sure you use a low-oil pencil that's soft, to Shade and then brush your brows upward to give them a natural look.  

2. Keep any brow pencil away from your skin where there is no hair. It is a tell tale sign that you've coloured your arches in. Remember that you want to enhave what you have, not draw on what's not there. 

3. Brush your brow hairs upward and outward. Your arches will look more natural and fuller when you groom them this way.

4. If you are using a brow gel, make sure you go for a colour that's the same shade as your brows or one shade darker and with pencils, go for one shade lighter because you want a softer look. When you are drawing the illusion of hair, it looks unnatural if the pencil is darker or as dark as your hair. The lighter colour gives it dimension.

5. Do not use hair dye to colour your brows. If you must colour them, use vegetable dye. This contains far less peroxide than regular hair dye, therefore making it safer for the eye area. It also lasts longer. 

6. Remember that brows serve a purpose to protect your eyes and frame your face, so it is important not to over tweeze them or shave them all off. 

7. A brow mascara with fibres in it gives the appearance of fuller brows instantly.

I'm sure we all want our eyebrows "on fleek" at all times, so do it the right way. Please don't over do them by painting or drawing them on. Your face is not a drawing board. Lol! And without eyebrows, we'll look sick and unhealthy. So learn these simple tips on how to get the perfect look for your eyebrows and transform your entire face.
