DIY orange concealer

Under-eye circles are the number one concern for the majority of my clients.  Unless you are a makeup artist, you most likely don't own an orange concealer which is the color of choice for severe under-eye circles with a bluish cast.  

No problem, if you own a lipstick that is free of chemicals (such as Mirabella Colour Sheer in Pixie).  Mix the orange lip color with your concealer, starting with a tiny amount and add until the mixture neutralizes the dark circles.  

If you are looking to purchase an orange concealer my favorites are Laura Mercier Under Eye Perfecter in orange/yellow or NYX Full Coverage concealer in Orange

Under-eye circles tend to be more problematic during allergy season.  To minimize the severity of dark circles, drink plenty of water and ask your physician to recommend an antihistamine.  Arnica Montana pellets can also be helpful since arnica reduces swelling and bruising   As with all medicine, consult with your physician before taking arnica.
