Bags, swelling, bruises around the eyes - believe me, the everyday life of glossy beauties also looks like this. They just know how to hide their shortcomings. You too will learn.
What is our review about? How to apply concealer under your eyes to look flawless.
Face corrector - what colors are for what?
Color correctors pose particular difficulties when using them, because you need to know exactly the role of each color, but do not forget that there are no strict rules for selection.
Selecting the corrector shade and application brush
Everyone's skin tones are different, so experimenting with mixing corrector shades and lightening them can help you achieve the color that suits you best.
Let's take a closer look at the most important and truly useful color correctors in everyday life.
Yellow corrector
Yellow is indispensable for masking capillary networks, bruises and circles under the eyes. Yellow concealer will be an excellent base for the main tone. And if you don’t have a primer on hand, it can be applied to the eyelids as a base for shadows - it will help them “last” throughout the day without creasing.
The main area of use will be the area under the eyes, as this color corrects blue-violet skin tones, and is also often used in the area near the wings of the nose.
For distribution, use a flat brush with a medium-width rounded tip; for blending, you can use a beauty makeup blender.
Conceal with green color correctors
Green color is indispensable for girls with problem skin. It hides inflammation and redness well. In a matter of seconds, you can reliably hide a pimple or allergic rash from prying eyes.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Apply the product precisely and carefully, blend with a makeup brush or sponge, refrain from blending with your fingers so as not to spread bacteria to problem skin, apply a thin layer of powder or foundation of your skin tone on top.
Light makeup with green corrector
When applied, it can be mixed with natural shades of correctors that are close to the skin color.
Under no circumstances try to mask the circles under your eyes with green; you will get the opposite effect - they will take on a purple tint.
Correcting with white color
This color is used to sculpt the face. Acting as a highlighter, white highlights individual areas - cheekbones, corner of the eye, area above the lip, and is also used to highlight the necessary areas of the face.
For application it is more convenient to use a medium-width flat brush.
White can be mixed with other colors to make them lighter.

To apply to the area under the eyes, use a flat brush for correctors and concealers, carefully blend the color. Refresh your face with lilac
Lilac and violet, due to their proximity to the natural color of the skin, reliably hides signs of fatigue and irritation even on fair skin, although it is more suitable for Asian complexions with a yellowish tint.
This corrector covers yellowish bruises and spots well. Can be used as a shimmer under the eyebrow and on the inner corner of the eyes.
A dense concealer from a palette is more convenient to apply with a brush, but there are also liquid options with a convenient sponge.
Blue corrector for dark circles under the eyes and age spots
What color concealer should I use to cover up a bruise? Don't hesitate - use blue. It will also hide pimples, redness, and inflamed blood vessels. Often used for dark, tanned skin tones.
If the product has a creamy texture, apply it with a brush, spread it with your fingertips or a beauty sponge, and apply foundation on top.
Pink - bringing freshness back to the skin
Pink is suitable for any skin, disguises wrinkles, eliminates signs of fatigue, as well as age spots. Most often it acts as a brightening color under the eyes; it can be used to hide brownish bags under the eyes and dark veins.

If you have a photo shoot under artificial lighting, use a pink concealer in your makeup, it will look natural.
Face correction with color correctors
By choosing the right concealer and learning how to use it, you will always look irresistible - both in everyday life and at special events.
Concealer color palette
Typically, the word “concealer” means a concealer of a shade close to flesh-colored. However, there is also such a rare class of make-up products as colored concealers. They are designed to disguise certain color imperfections of the skin.
Of course, you can even out your skin tone using a regular beige concealer in combination with foundation, but they are often not enough when working with skin imperfections of different shades.
In order not to apply an impressive layer of cosmetics on your face, consisting of foundation, concealer and powder, you should use colored concealers. This will help you get by with fewer products overall (but in itself, of course, does not negate the use of tone, beige concealer and setting powder - it will just be enough to apply each of these products in a thinner layer).
In the cosmetics department, the palette of concealers is quite diverse. Before choosing the right concealer, you need to decide what the main skin imperfections will need to be hidden with it. It is very important to choose the right tone, since otherwise you can only emphasize defects and not hide them.
Each skin imperfection has its own color: acne and post-acne – red; moles - brown; age spots – yellow; freckles - reddish. To disguise such defects, you need to use a concealer of the opposite color. It is determined by a special color wheel.
Colors that are opposite each other make up a pair that neutralizes each other. Using this trick, you can easily choose the right concealer. It should be selected in accordance with the color of the skin imperfection that needs to be hidden.
Lavender
Lavender shade and all shades of lilac concealer eliminate yellow-colored imperfections and also correct dullness of the face. Lavender concealer helps correct tired looking skin.
All you have to do is mix it with your foundation and apply along your cheekbones and forehead, then blend thoroughly. A purple concealer will give your face freshness and hide acne. The specific choice of concealer color depends on your skin color type.
Green
This shade of concealer is the most popular because it masks redness, vascular network, acne and irritation on the skin.
That is, those imperfections in complexion that occur most often.
Yellow
Yellowish shades of concealers are suitable for those who want to disguise dark circles under the eyes that have a blue-violet color.
That is, such circles that appear from chronic lack of sleep or overwork. In addition, yellow concealer can remove the reddish tint of the face and disguise almost any skin imperfections. After application, the skin will become smoother and its tone will significantly improve, especially if it has a grayish tint.
Orange
This concealer color is also ideal for covering up bruises, but in a blue-green color. This product perfectly hides veins protruding in the eye area. This shade looks good on dark skin, as after application it acquires a warmer tone, becomes smoother and brighter, and looks more natural.
Orange color will help hide even tattoos.
Pink
This shade of concealer is perfect for disguising greenish circles under the eyes.
It comes in a variety of shades from coral to peach. For pale skin, salmon shade is preferable. Peach is suitable for skin with olive undertones. This product can also be used as a highlighter when applied along the cheekbones and other highlight areas.
Violet
The purple shade of the concealer will help get rid of the yellowish tone of the face and pigmentation, hide post-acne and give the face freshness.
White
This concealer color is used to soften the colors of the others and is applied last. They can also highlight, for example, the cheekbones or the center of the nose, which will give a visually more beautiful shape to the face.
100% option on how to remove a bruise on your face in 1 day
Fresh bruises can be removed in one day with pomegranate
. The active components that make up the fruit have a beneficial effect on blood vessels. Pomegranate juice promotes the resorption of bruises and enhances the decomposition of hemoglobin accumulated under the skin. Required ingredients:
- Pomegranate (seeds);
- Voloshsky nut.
Before cooking, all ingredients must be pre-chopped. Mix pomegranate seeds and chopped nut kernels until smooth. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to the bruise and leave the mask for 15 minutes.
. Remove excess with a damp cloth. Wash your face with warm water.
After injections and mesotherapy procedures, bruises remain on the face. The needle deforms the skin and capillaries, after which small bruises with a diameter of 1-2 cm are formed. Bruises left from mesotherapy and injections are not recommended to be removed using special ointments and gels
. An allergic reaction may occur. Experts recommend applying ice on the first day after the injection. Pharmacy badyagu can be used for 3 days
after the first bruise appears.
Anti-bruise ointments can be used only when it is necessary to eliminate traces of bruises. Experts allow the use of pharmaceutical drugs, for example, Troxevasin
. Traumeel and Helaskin effectively fight bruises
. These are new generation drugs, the targeted action of which disperses blood clots under the skin.
Minor bruising after injections goes away on its own within 12-14 days. They can be easily masked with foundation and mattifying products.
When carrying out procedures aimed at combating bruises on the face, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules. Here are some tips from the experts:
- Before applying pharmaceutical ointment to the bruise, you must apply a compress based on herbal decoction
. For this, it is recommended to use coltsfoot, calendula and chamomile herbs; - is strictly forbidden to apply ointment to a bruise
next to which there is an open abrasion or scratch; - The bruise should not be overheated or overcooled
; - You can use foundation only 3-4 days after the bruise appears;
- When treating a bruise with iodine, it is necessary to use a weak solution so that in the morning there are no traces of it left on the skin;
- Some products can cause allergies
and skin burns. Onions and garlic contain allergens, and the plant juice is quite caustic; - Regular consumption of alcohol and nicotine thins the blood.
Completely giving up bad habits will help reduce the appearance of bruises on the face when hit and strengthen blood vessels.
It should be remembered that regular use of painkillers helps thin the blood. This factor may increase the risk of bruising.
What you should and should not do to prevent dark circles from appearing under your eyes
The first thing you need to do is get rid of lack of sleep. Lack of normal sleep is the reason for the appearance of bags.
What else can you do to maintain healthy skin around your eyes:
- eliminate alcohol and smoking;
- rest more;
- make time for walks in the fresh air and relaxation;
- do not forget to wash off makeup at night;
- Minimize coffee consumption.
With a healthy diet and a good night's sleep, dark circles will not appear. In rare cases, cover up bruises with makeup. If the problem is severe, visit a therapist who will prescribe tests and, based on their results, give a referral to the right doctor.
Makeup using skin-lightening products is an everyday solution. It helps hide the problem, but does not solve it in any way. The cause needs to be eliminated. Applying multiple layers of makeup every day for many years, instead of taking your own health seriously once, is, you see, strange.
The problem area around the eyes is very sensitive; any adverse external influence, as well as any disruptions in the body’s functioning, are immediately reflected on the face. General recommendations that provide a more or less healthy lifestyle are easy to follow. The body will definitely thank you with a healthy complexion and radiant eyes.
What to do:
- Try to organize breaks at work to avoid excessive eye strain and fatigue. This is especially relevant advice if work is impossible without a computer.
- Allocate enough time for sleep, ideally 7–8 hours. Take care of the relaxation conditions - absence of noise, comfortable mattress, comfortable room temperature.
- Organize a balanced diet, cook at home and take containers of super healthy food with you to work. Give up useless snacks like sweets, snacks and fast food. Vegetable salad and boiled meatballs do not seem to be so difficult to prepare in advance. At the same time, you will become a role model for your colleagues.
- Minimize your consumption of alcohol and cigarettes or, if you wish, for the sake of beauty and health, give up bad habits altogether.
- Do facial exercises that strengthen the eye muscles - simple exercises will improve blood circulation and rejuvenate the skin. Perform the following exercises alternately daily:
- make several rotations with your eyes in one direction, then in the other;
- close your eyes, closing your eyelids tightly, then open them sharply, repeat 5-6 times;
- press on the corners of your eyes with your fingertips, first on the outer ones, then on the inner ones;
- do acupressure with cream or balm, massage the area around the eyes along the massage lines.
Do a facial massage along the massage lines, the skin will become more toned
So, you woke up in the morning and there are black circles under your eyes. For example, it was a stormy night. You never know the reasons! But there is an important day ahead and you need to get rid of the circles. You try to do a regular facial massage with oil, but the circles do not disappear, although it turns out very nice.
The circles do not need to be covered thickly with foundation. It won't help.
In this case, even powder will be preferable. But it is not a 100% remedy against circles under the eyes.
The cosmetics industry has certainly been thinking about how to help women deal with this annoying problem. And, of course, she also made it up: today there are a lot of correctors and so-called “concealers”, the only purpose of which is camouflage.
Concealers are different, and they are used depending on skin color.
Such remedies work using the “reverse” method: to neutralize a certain color, it is necessary to use a corrector of the opposite color (for example, a yellow corrector is used against purple circles, and orange is used against blue circles).

Correctors are also used to disguise other skin imperfections.
Mistakes when applying concealer
We can say that concealer is a product with a narrow focus. Therefore, the standard method of applying it is spot-on, and subsequent shading is not always required. It is ignorance of this feature of concealer that is the cause of many mistakes made in the process of applying the product.
Using foundation instead of concealer
Very often they try to replace concealer with foundation. This is only possible when trying to hide dark circles under the eyes, and you need to take a foundation with a lighter shade. It should be remembered that the texture of the foundation is such that it can get into the wrinkles around the eyes and, instead of hiding them, the wrinkles will become even more noticeable.
Lack of knowledge of spot concealer application techniques
Many people simply do not master the technique of spot application of concealer, applying a layer of product to the very point of the problem. For example, if it is necessary to disguise a pimple, then they apply the product directly to the pimple itself, after which they try to blend the applied concealer. Of course, this technique does not solve the problem.
Correct spot application occurs in the following sequence. Taking a small amount of product on the brush, apply it around the pimple and begin shading around the pimple, gradually approaching the center of the skin imperfection, that is, the pimple itself.
Incorrect application to the eye area
The area around the eyes also requires knowledge of application rules. Before applying the corrector, you should first apply a cream base to the area around the eyes. Thus, the cream will fill small wrinkles and will not allow the concealer to get stuck in them.
Blend concealer on dry skin
Often blend the product onto dry skin. However, if you are not a professional makeup artist, you will not be able to achieve a better result. It is necessary to pre-moisturize the skin with water. It is not recommended to blend the cosmetic product with your hands; this is especially contraindicated for oily skin.
Step-by-step instructions on how to disguise a bruise
Applying cream
First you need to prepare your skin for applying makeup.
The eye cream is ideal as a base. It will moisturize the skin and protect it from deep penetration of cosmetics. If you have an oily face, use a foundation under foundation, then the makeup will be long-lasting. The best option is to use a special primer serum, which is applied to a clean face and closes the pores. The primer serum has a mattifying effect and reduces blue discoloration well. The foundation applies smoothly and the color corrector does not smudge.
Foundation
After 2-3 minutes, apply foundation. The tone of the foundation should match your skin tone as much as possible. You need to apply a very thin layer so that there is no weighting effect.
Corrector
The most important step is applying the corrector
It is important to know and understand color theory. How to play with color correctly to achieve the desired result
If the bruise is purple, you will need a corrector in warmer shades from orange to pink.
If the bruise is yellow or greenish, then purple shades are suitable. But if the color is more reddish, with bruises, then in this case all shades of green will help. It is advisable to apply the corrector with a brush, as it must be “drilled” into the skin.
Concealer
Concealer is used to even out skin color so that there are no sharp boundaries or transitions. In this case, it is better to take a concealer with a light structure. This will help avoid the layering effect. How to use concealer to eliminate redness and circles under the eyes, see here...
Powder
And the final stage is applying powder. The powder acts as a makeup fixer so that foundations perform their functions throughout the day. It is better to take a light, translucent powder with a matte effect. The composition should not contain glitter or reflective particles, as they can cause the concealer and corrector to pill during the day.
Now the bruise is camouflaged, and no one will notice that there is a flaw on your face. By the way, this way you can and should hide dark circles under your eyes. It is worth noting that you do not always need to wear bright eye makeup. It is better to focus on the lips with a tint, thereby drawing attention to the lower part of the face. But this advice remains only advice for now; it all depends on where you need to go. If it's a party, then bright eyes will distract from the cheeks and lips; if it's a daytime walk, then focus on the lips.
What is concealer used for?
Like any cosmetic product, the purpose of concealer is to conceal and highlight. However, in this case we are not talking about masking the relief or imperfections of the skin, and not about changing the contour of the face, but about color. Which, you see, is also very important. Apply concealer to the skin before foundation.
When advertising concealers, the main emphasis is on concealing dark circles under the eyes. However, the scope of application of this tool is much wider.
With concealer you can:
- hide redness and age spots;
- visually remove small wrinkles;
- hide enlarged pores;
- make the surface of the face smooth;
- disguise spider veins.

How to do makeup to distract attention from your eyes
The ability to hide bruises under the lower eyelid is not only about painting over the darkening
You need to learn how to apply makeup all over your face, so as to divert attention from problem areas and highlight other worthy points.
First of all, you need to apply a high-quality moisturizer to a completely clean face.
This cream will tighten the epidermis, the surface of the skin will be smoother and corrective products will be easier to apply. It is better to choose creams with vitamins “E” and “K” or caffeine; they tone the skin, reduce the permeability of vascular walls, and increase their density. They also protect pores from contamination with decorative products.
Then manipulations are carried out to retouch the bruises: covering them with a corrector and evening out the tone using foundation and powder
It is important that the transition of the foundation from the site of the disguised bruise to the skin color of the cheekbones and cheeks is smoothed as much as possible. This will reduce the contrast of dark spots on a light background.
After these steps have been completed, you can begin decorative makeup.
Eyes
The lower eyelid should not be highlighted with dark tones. The emphasis should be placed on the upper part. To do this, use shadows of bright, but not aggressive colors. If you have dark circles, you should not choose purple, brown, or blue tones. Preference is given to gray, green, turquoise shadows, which are carefully distributed over the entire upper eyelid.
It is better to abandon the arrows altogether, or make them barely noticeable. To highlight the contour of the eyes, pencils that match the color of the iris are suitable. Mascara should also not be black or dark blue, such colors visually make the look heavier. If your eyes are light in color, brown or gray mascara will look great.

Brows
Here you should pay special attention: beautiful and neat eyebrows will attract the eye, moving it away from the eye sockets. The pencil should be exactly the same color as your eyebrows.
And under the hairs you can make light strokes with highlighter or shiny shadows, this will give the look lightness and openness.
Cheekbones
You don’t need to highlight them too much, just lightly touch your cheekbones with a brush. And even if the blush is not bright, it is better to choose delicate pastel shades, one or two shades richer than the foundation and powder.
Master classes on camouflage
Using cosmetics, you can disguise various skin defects, for example, bruises under the eyes.
How to hide bags under your eyes
You can make up bags under the eyes using cosmetics. Creating makeup comes down to the following sequence of actions:
- concealer is applied to the area of swollen eyelids;
- the complexion is evened out with a light concealer;
- lining the upper eyelid with a brown pencil;
- applying brown mascara to the upper eyelashes;
- eyebrow tinting and shadow application;
- powdering the lower eyelids.

How to disguise a black eye from a blow
Cosmetologists emphasize that it is difficult to disguise a bruise after a blow. To cover up a yellow or purple black eye, you need to:
- use a corrector in a pencil that has a dense texture (to match the skin tone or lighter);
- Apply a light foundation or BB cream to your face and blot off the excess with a napkin.
Attention! Frequently applying foundation to disguise a bruise has a negative effect on the skin. The product promotes dryness. It is also necessary to use special masks and moisturizing creams.
How to cover up circles under the eyes
To disguise circles under the lower eyelids, you need to use a cream intended for eyelid skin care and concealer. These funds are basic.
Often, dark circles under the eyes are a result of thin skin through which the capillaries are visible. Representatives should use a cream with vitamin K, which increases the density of the walls of blood vessels and reduces their permeability.
To disguise the eyelid area, it is better to use a concealer with a creamy texture or highlighter. It should be remembered that solid concealers are used to disguise acne on the nose.
Attention! The color of the concealer should match your skin tone or be a little lighter. Beige or yellow concealer can be used to cover up bluish circles. The salmon tone of the concealer helps disguise yellowish circles under the eyes.
It is not advisable to purchase an oil-based concealer to prevent the product from creasing under the eyes. A good product should not only disguise a bruise, but also take care of the delicate area of the face.
The algorithm of actions includes:
- applying concealer with tapping movements or shading with a brush;
- application of transparent powder to ensure durability of the camouflage.
Important! Concealer is applied in one layer to create a natural effect.
How to cover up dark circles under your eyes without makeup
You can eliminate bruises with the help of useful masks:
- Grated raw potatoes and olive oil (10 g). The exposure time of the composition is 30 minutes. The procedure is completed by rinsing the skin with green tea.
- Cottage cheese mashed to a homogeneous consistency. The mask is applied for 20 minutes and washed off with a cotton pad.
- Cucumbers crushed in a blender, cilantro and parsley, full-fat sour cream. The mask is applied under the eyelids for half an hour.
Cosmetologists also recommend using so-called cosmetic ice, which is frozen decoctions of medicinal herbs (chamomile, sage). You can also rub green tea ice cubes on your skin.
Prevention
To protect yourself from meibomitis and its dangerous consequences, it is worth observing prevention. It will help prevent the development of unpleasant symptoms, which often cause severe discomfort. To do this, you must follow the following rules:

Face sculpting

Creating the effect of plump lips
Concealer will help make your lips look plumper. To do this, apply the product to the center of your lips and lightly press in with your fingers. If you now apply a transparent gloss over the created base, the effect will be very impressive.

From the palette you can see that blue-violet bruises are perfectly neutralized by peach shades.
When choosing neutral colors, the concealer does not have to be flesh-colored. To create the effect of radiant eyes, you should opt for a product that is 1-2 shades lighter than the foundation and half a tone lighter than the skin. The reflective particles included in the corrector will give the skin freshness and radiance.
What should men do?
In terms of masking the dark spot around the eye, it is much easier for men. The stronger sex can hide this problem in many ways, but the most popular of them are glasses and adhesive tape.
Sunglasses are the simplest option that you will have to spend a little money on if you don’t have the glasses you need in your own collection of accessories. You should find regular summer glasses that are as dark in color as possible and large enough to cover the bruise completely.
Another good way is a patch. Any bruise on a man’s face can be covered with a band-aid, which will look more brutal and dignified.
