Hello, hello! Greetings to all the beautiful girls of our beloved #steemwomenclub community. This time we will talk about a very important topic for those who like me have very pronounced and noticeable dark circles under their eyes: how do I really correct the color of my under-eye circles?
Join me to find out more!

Skincare
First of all, it is important to have a clean face to be able to moisturize it. This hydration can be achieved with any serum or cream, but I use a cream whose deep hydration benefits my skin. I put it on my face and spread it with small massages that allow the cream to enter the pores and fulfill its function.
Since this time we will focus on improving the under-eye area, we need that area to be perfectly hydrated so that the concealer does not settle in the expression lines. Therefore, we will use an eye contour. This is applied in small amounts, taking care not to touch the eye. In this way, our skin is ready to receive other products on top.

Color correction (pre-corrector).
Then we start with the color correction, an extremely important step to achieve full coverage of our dark circles.
We must be clear about the undertone of our dark circles: is it gray, purple, reddish? We need to know this in order to know what color will work to cover it, since not all tones work the same. For example, if you have fair skin and your under-eye circles are more purple than gray, a concealer with a slight yellow or orange undertone will work to cover them.
Below you can see the comparison between two concealers with different undertones. And, in addition, the chromatic circle is detailed, which helps us to know which shade will suppress the other. How do you know this? Identifying a shade opposite to our under eye circles will suffice.

Is your under eye purple? Yellow or orange will be fine. Your under-eye circles are gray and you have dark skin? A red shade will be your savior. And this way we can be clear about what will work with our skin tone and under eye coloring.
Important! A small amount of this pre-concealer will be enough. This only works as a pre-base that helps to suppress tones, but the ideal is to apply a very light layer that does not saturate and cause the opposite effects on the dark circles, such as hyperpigmentation or dry skin.
In my case, since my under-eye circles are purple, I use a concealer with a salmon undertone. The change is incredible, as you can see in the following images.

This way, our under-eye circles will be completely covered, the concealer will blend with the rest of the skin and it will only be left to brighten that area, just as it is normally done.
Let's illuminate!
We apply the usual concealer, preferably a light and covering tone that makes the orange tone that we used previously disappear. It is important to use the sponge, brush or finger in such a way that it does not lift any product that we have put, that is to say, with little touches, without dragging, with delicacy and love to our little face.

Sealing is very important
It is best to use a loose powder that does not add coverage or color, so that the under eye does not look dense and heavy. This is simple: with a loose brush we take the minimum amount necessary and with that we make the makeup completely non-removable as the hours go by.
