Minimize your dark circles

Feeling tired can effect your mood and motivation, but looking exhausted can make you downright grumpy. There are few things worse than someone approaching you with a, "Wow, you look tired." 

While fatigue and sleepless nights can contribute to the look, many other factors also cause shadows under the eyes like poor diet, stress, allergies and genetics. But with a few simple tips, you can minimize the look of your problem area.

Tip 1
Prime your skin with a moisturizer or cream to prepare the area for makeup.

Tip 2
Use a yellow-base concealer. The coloring helps to balance the look of dark circles.

Tip 3
Don't use mascara on bottom lashes if you have a problem with dark circles. Flakes of the product often fall off the bottom of the lashes onto the face and make the problem area look more prominent.

Tip 4
A little goes a long way with concealer. If you apply too much then you will emphasize the look of dark circles and draw attention to the area beneath the eyes.

Products like the Jane Iredale Circle/Delete can give you the look you've been waiting for. Choose from different colors to get the look that will exactly match your skin tone. The Circle/Delete #1 combines a light and medium yellow. The tone Circle/Delete #2 combines a light and medium peach, which helps minimize the appearance of blue circles. Lastly, Circle/Delete #3 is a combination of deep yellow and deep brown. The products contain Vitamin K and help repair blood vessels.

If you follow these tips, you will no longer have to feel self conscious about the dark circles under your eyes.
