I'm sure I've been thinking about ways to deal with dark circles for the past year and this year, but I'm actually talking about the dark circles that have been on my face for years. I used to have blue and brown ones, but now I've started raising black ones too, and caring for them is a lot of work. I'm still researching and haven't yet found the best method, but here's what I'm doing so far: First, calm the blue and brown ones with orange or pink-orange shades. Then, lighten the entire sagging area with a pink-toned concealer. (I'm currently using Addiction Color Corrector 01, but I'd like to try something else. I've already reviewed it.) Then, apply foundation. Trace the deeper parts of the dark circles (the crease) with a light-colored pencil, then blend inward with a concealer brush. (The Picasso brush is my personal favorite so far; I've already reviewed it.) Then, apply a light-colored matte powder to the crease. (MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Light, reviewed) The third step, a lighter pencil. I'd been using TIMAGE products until now, but I've been struggling with dark circles that have been getting deeper with each passing year. So, I decided to try MAC, which many people have raved about. Wow, artist brands really are amazing! I was blown away. The color is exquisite, bright but not too bright, and blends softly into the skin when blended with a brush. The blending is truly natural and beautiful. TIMAGE's particles are probably coarser and more powdery in comparison. That may have been one of the reasons why applying a matte highlighter on top of it made my skin feel dry. The Saem pencil is also popular, but it's too hard to use on the thin skin under my eyes. It's out of the question. Last year, I really got a feel for the power of MUFE and MAC, and rather than trying out a bunch of other low-quality, budget-friendly products, I'd go for MAC or MUFE. It's amazing how they keep improving their quality every year. All that's left now is to hone my skills...coexisting with bears is difficult.
