How to disguise bags under the eyes with makeup?

Bags under the eyes are ugly, and hardly anyone will argue with this. To effectively combat them, you need to understand the root cause of their appearance in order to be able to minimize their severity or completely get rid of the problem. But what to do when the reason is still unknown, but you want to be beautiful? We will tell you how you can use makeup to disguise bags under your eyes.

So, first, let's talk about why puffiness may appear in the orbital zone. There are, in fact, many reasons:

• heredity;
• failure of the kidneys, cardiovascular and urinary systems;
• eye diseases;
• poor quality cosmetics;
• improperly composed diet (too much salt, fatty, fried, spicy);
• smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages, drugs;
• constant stress, lack of sleep, chronic fatigue;
• metabolic disorders;
• allergy;
• age-related changes in the skin;
• the habit of drinking before bedtime (and any drinks);
• poor facial skin care, in particular, the orbital zone.

Some people associate the appearance of edema in the orbital region with an excess of fluid in the body, despite the fact that the reason may be different. People begin to take diuretic drugs uncontrollably, which in no case should be done without a special purpose. In addition, women make the following mistakes in the decorative disguise of bags under their eyes:

• use a dark eyeliner, circling the eyes completely or drawing an "arrow" on the upper eyelid;
• do not shape the eyebrows, as a result of which they rivet attention with their sloppiness;
• very thickly stain the cilia, both upper and lower.

The masking of puffiness in the orbital zone consists of 2 stages: preparation and application of makeup. Let's take a closer look at this review of the best cosmetics.

The first thing you need to do is treat the area under the eyes with a special eye cream with a drainage effect. Make sure to include seaweed extracts, caffeine, sea salt, and Aescinum or horse chestnut extract among the ingredients. We have prepared a list of the 5 most recommended remedies for you.

• Eye cream "Anti-Aging Care Glow of Youth 25+" by Garnier... Improves fluid drainage without overdrying the skin. Contains caffeine. Promotes the stimulation of epidermal cell renewal.
• Eye cream Advanced Genifique by Lancome... Moisturizes, relieves puffiness, reduces the depth of wrinkles.

• Eye cream "Dose of Youth" from Kiehls... Eliminates bags and dark circles under the eyes. Has a drainage effect.

Further, if you have 10-15 minutes free, you can put special patches under your eyes to remove puffiness. We recommend that you choose one of the following:

• Hydro Eye Patch Gold & Snail by Petitfee;
• 24 Gold Premium First Eye Patch by Secret Key;
• Puffiness Minimizing Ginkgo or Collagen & Gold by Skinlite
• Bird's Nest Hydrogel Eye Patch or Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch from Esthetic House
• Shary Time Control Eye Mask;
• anti-swelling & anti-fatigue shary gel eye pads.

To complete this stage, you will need to prepare several decorative cosmetics.

• Tone cream. And better 2: tone in tone with the skin and lighter. Choose the brand that you usually use, we will not give any recommendations here. However, make sure that both products have an airy texture that will not lump or clog pores. Further, the cream, which is tone-on-tone, is applied to the area under the eyes, after which we outline the fold outlining the "bag" with a lighter product. Gently blend the outline.
• Concealer. Helps hide blue and puffiness under the eyes. Can be used in place of light foundation. The correct tone of concealer is selected as follows. If you notice redness (for example, a capillary burst) in the orbital zone, choose a greenish product. Paint over bruises or dark circles with yellow / orange concealer. A pink tint to help transform earthy, grayish skin. To remove unhealthy yellowness, use a purple / lilac concealer. How to use it: draw a "triangle" with apex located on the orbital bone, paint over the entire area inside the outlined path. Blend gently so that no stripes remain. Apply matting powder on top.

For now, here's a quick rundown of the best concealers for bags and circles under the eyes.

• Cargo Jet Lag Concealer. It copes well with the swelling of the orbital area, and also masks the blue and vascular "stars".
• NYX Professional Makeup HD Studio Photogenic Concealer Wand. Has a wide range of colors. Well hides all the imperfections under the eyes.
• Its Skin Its Top Professional Dual Concealer Stick & Brush. 2-in-1 tool: on one end of the stick is a brush for application, on the other - the concealer itself. Perfectly shades, masks circles and bags under the eyes, and also cares for the skin, nourishing it.

• Clarins Instant Concealer. In addition to blue and puffiness under the eyes, it masks pigmentation and traces of acne.

Be sure to choose a matte finish. Any flickering particles will only accentuate the problem of eye puffiness. Gently blend the powder with a wide brush or puff. Do not get carried away: remember that it is needed to complete the make-up, make the skin matte and velvety, and not for "plastering". Choose the powder to match the skin. Use the remedy that you usually use.
