For a quick action and deflate the area, it is also advisable to massage the area with spoons left in the fridge beforehand. In short, we will have understood, many small tips help to mitigate the appearance of dark circles.
On the makeup side, there too some techniques can do miracles to camouflage a few hours of missing sleep. Recently, the professional makeup artist Mary Phillips, who takes care of Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner in particular, shared her little trick. Good news: it is extremely easy to reproduce! After applying your concealer in good and due shape, take a free powder, but not just any: “A pink or peach powder will make all the difference, because it reduces the blue or the green of the eye contour“, She explains in a video published on Instagram. Among our favorite references? The Creaseless Setting Powder of Tarte (in Pink or Yellow shade), the Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder by Huda Beauty (in Cherry Blossom Cake or Peach Pie), or the Illuminating Fixatrix Powder (Candy or Peachy).

Work with small quantities so that the products do not spin in the folds. And now, the gaze is awake and the signs of fatigue have disappeared.
