Don't use powder around the eyes! The trick to seal the concealer so that wrinkles are not noticeable

Applying the dark circle concealer is a particularly delicate point in the makeup composition. The objective is to cover dark circles and bags, erasing signs of fatigue from the face. But, at the same time, we must prevent the area around the eyes from drying out, cracking and marking wrinkles, in addition to ensuring that the product lasts impeccably for as long as possible.

To seal the dark circles concealer, the most common thing is to use compact or loose powders, which help to mattify the area by eradicating unwanted shine, while fixing the product on the skin. However, precisely because of these fixing and mattifying properties, powders bring with them a high probability that the area will dry out and the eye contour will end up cracking and marking wrinkles under the eyes.

This, in turn, will make your makeup look less flattering and make you look more fatigued. So that this doesn’t happen to us, the best way to fix the dark circles concealer is to resort to a simple trick that is sweeping TikTok.

Makeup artist Vincent Ford shares makeup tricks, tips, and trends on his TikTok profile – with more than 380,000 followers. Among his videos, we find a viral one where he reveals his key secret to setting the dark circles concealer without powder. “This trick changes the game,” says Ford. Following his guidelines, the concealer will last longer without cracking or marking wrinkles.

It is a sandwich technique, whereby you apply three layers of two cosmetics: on the one hand, the makeup setting spray and, on the other, the concealer itself.

The first step is to spray some setting spray on a small brush and apply it to the dark circle area with small touches. This will help prepare the skin, moisturizing it so that it absorbs the product better and blends better.

Next, apply the dark circle concealer normally and blend it very well with the help of the same brush. Finally, spray the makeup setting spray again on the brush and apply it over the dark circle concealer carefully, tapping, without dragging the product. With this final layer the product will be set, but not dry, avoiding those unfortunate wrinkles.

Following this procedure, by sheltering the dark circle concealer between those two layers of setting spray, “you ensure that it will last and you won’t have to use powder,” the makeup artist promises. The video in question has more than 300 thousand likes.
