I’ve had under-eye bags my whole life – my magic makeup technique camouflages circles, powder is my pièce de résistance

A BEAUTY fan has shared her magic makeup technique for camouflaging dark circles.

She has despaired of her under-eye bags for her whole life.

But she has found a way of blending them away with the flick of a brush.

The piéce de resistance, however, is her powder.

It’s changed Brittany Kolba’s (@brittanykolbabeauty) appearance.

But it’s changed a whole lot more for one delighted viewer.

“I’m a guy with awful dark circles and bags and this technique is life-changing,” he said in a comment to her post.

Brittany’s beauty tip has generated plenty of interest with over 16,000 viewers tuning in and many more commenting.

She knows first-hand the despair of dark circles.

She’s had them all her life and they drive her crazy.

But she has found a clever method that conceals them, her “undereye magic.”

The first step was to use balm under her eyes to moisturize.

This is similar to lip balm but without the scent or menthol.

Next, look down so you can see where the darkest places are.

Once you locate these, you are ready for stage 3.

Do not use liquids under your eyes. They will crease or cake, and result in a crepe-like appearance, and no one wants that.

Instead go for a cream concealer in peach, using a brush to apply in the hollow area.

Now, use a brightening cream on the inner and outer sides of the eyes.

But don’t go in too heavy, keep the product to a minimum and blend in with the darker orange color.

Keep your skin hydrated internally by drinking water and externally with moisturizer.
Always use sunscreen, even if you’re not in direct sunlight.
Use Vitamin C to brighten the skin and don’t forget to apply to your neck.

This stage, said our beauty fan, was the “piéce de resistance.”

It might go against every convention you’ve ever been taught on TikTok, but she swears by powder under the eyes.

Commenters were suitably impressed by this magic trick.

“Best I’ve seen so far,” said one person.
