How To Hide Dark Circles With Colour Correcting

I have to find myself a peach colour corrector. I always find myself struggling with concealing those ugly dark circles.

I have used banana powder before. I’m currently using Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. It’s expensive but it works really well, and I’d highly recommend it.

I often look at myself and see dark circles under my eyes and wish I could hide them.

Thank you for sharing the step-by-step guide. I never heard of banana powder before. Is that only use for under eyes?

The eye area is so delicate. This sounds like too much

I liked learning all about all the other colours

Petal 25 May 2018 6:05 PM

Sorry Sophie, but I don't think you even need to use a concealer for your under-eyes area because I cannot see any dark circles.

My dark circles are never fully covered and now i know why! Need to get some peach coloured concealer asap. Great video, so informative.
